I didn't know this was possible, but in such a case why not set a 60Hz display to 48Hz, 59.95Hz, etc.?

> The same footage can be viewed on another monitor and the tearing issue is not present.

This is what I was hoping someone would chime in about. I have never looked into whether it would be handled differently, but I would not trade a higher resolution display regardless. Maybe it could potentially influence where I cut in certain rare situations, but sounds unlikely.

Not enough to have a lower resolution display, and if a higher refresh rate will get rid of it then that is news to me. Will it?

> who in the world wants to use a 2:3 pulldown pattern on a progressive monitor?

At least everyone tasked with editing 3:2 pulldown footage for 3:2 pulldown distribution, which is most of the video editors in North America the last time I checked.

> The worst part of incorrect refresh rates for me is on panning footage and you get those janky blocky tears in the image.

That sounds a lot more like rolling shutter artifacts than 3:2 pulldown. What kind of camera are you using? Are you shooting with a CMOS sensor?

> This sounds like something I've heard from people with a head full of fun stuff talking about the space between the notes. There have bee times where that absolutely makes sense, but I'm at a loss on your time between frames.

Haha, fair enough. If you ever feel like diving in yourself, I passionately recommend In the Blink of an Eye by Walter Murch.

> Why would you want to use 3:2 pulldown unless your display is interlaced

At this point, the only great reason is that it's an industry standard, but that alone is more than enough reason to still do it, evidenced by the fact that so many people still do it.

Don't believe everything journalists tell you. ;)

Kidding aside, I do seriously question whether that move would ever happen without it being forced.

> Do you plug a DisplayPort and an usb cable from windows and get kvm working?

Yes. There is one upstream USB-C port on each display that is used for this purpose.

> The monitors are daisy chained?

Daisy chaining with Thunderbolt 4 (not Thunderbolt 3) is supported, but when daisy chaining the second display will only do 4K@60Hz or 6K@30Hz. For this reason, I plug both Thunderbolt 4 cables directly into my Macbook Pro M1, both on the left side of the laptop so it's a clean setup. Thankfully, the included Thunderbolt 4 cables are plenty long enough to reach across to the laptop positioned on either side. Apple's displays include such short TB cables that you'd have to buy another longer one to do this.

In addition, you may want to know that HDR mode is great but only supported with HDMI for some reason and I haven't found any DP->HDMI adapters that support it which rules out dual HDR displays with an RTX 4090 which only has 1 HDMI port. I think this is due to HDR needing HDMI 2.1. But I can have 1 monitor connected with HDMI for HDR when I need it. I just haven't bought a long HDMI cable for that yet. The KVM switching could support that setup just the same.

Twitter will persist as long as Journalists stay on it, and everyone paying attention knows that, including Musk.

Theoretically maybe, but 3:2 pulldown is used for playing 23.976 fps video at 29.97Hz. Since this is HN maybe someone with more knowledge about how video editors and modern TVs typically handle this can jump in here. Regardless, I think this would actually have more impact on the end user viewing experience than the job of video editing. The time between frames is tremendous from the standpoint of a video editor, and editing is usually (traditionally) done by feel: press button when the cut should happen, mark it, then arrange the timeline accordingly. Lag aside, frame rate and which frame is actually on the screen at that time matters much less than whether the software knows which frame should be on the screen at that time. Hopefully that makes sense. For this reason, resolution and color accuracy will still take priority when it comes to display hardware.

Also, the current Apple Studio Display and Apple XDR Pro Display are both 218 ppi.

My point is none of these refresh rates are multiples of 23.976.

Nor is 120. Even with a 240Hz display, capturing and editing should use 3:2 pulldown for best end user playback. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-two_pull_down

32" displays are a sweet spot in size for me as long as the pixel density is >200 ppi, but more for graphics applications than text editors. For 3D applications especially, it's very beneficial to have a lot of area on one screen since the GUI default layouts tend to fit best on 16:9 screens or close to that and larger screens give you larger multi-viewport layouts. 24 inch displays just couldn't come close here. 32" allows me to work in a 4 viewport layout all day long. It's also nice in IDEs, but my main purpose is various graphics applications. And sure I could fiddle endlessly with multi-display layouts but that's such a time suck and every application is completely different so I wouldn't bother no matter what my screen size is.

Group 4 does video/photo/graphics work so they prioritize color accuracy and high resolution, so they would always trade >60Hz for more resolution, at least up to a point that has yet to be achieved. And that isn't even factoring in cost, which is a big one since Group 4 is a smaller market than Groups 1-3 so the displays targeting them (like this Dell 6K) tend to be the most expensive on the market by a large margin.

Realize >60Hz makes exactly zero difference for video playback, so the only areas for improvement are cursor movement and scrolling smoothness.

Why are you returning it? I am keeping mine because I don't know of anything better.

Also, check out the MoErgo Glove80 keyboard.

The 3090 does support displayport 2.0, though. The 40 series are geared towards productivity use cases where people are fine with 60hz.

What a strange comment. The article gives a thesis followed by support for that thesis.

I suspect we can blame the stock market for this decadence.

I just purchased 2 of the 6Ks and I am keeping both. AMA.

I do not understand the complaints about pixel density. The display is 223 ppi, which is the same or slightly higher than Apple displays. I am using them in a dual display configuration with an M1 Macbook Pro via TB4 and a Windows PC with an RTX 4090 via DisplayPort. The KVM feature makes switching back and forth a breeze. I am using 175% scaling (in Windows) and I don't think 8K with 1:2 scaling would give suitably sized OS components for me, so it would be fractional scaling either way.

The startup time doesn't matter in practice because they still wake up from sleep instantaneously.

The mini-DP IN port would be inconvenient but Club3D makes a bi-directional adapter that makes it regular DisplayPort for about $20.

I am fine with the camera defaulting to ON for Windows Hello to work in my 2 computer setup.

My only serious complaint is the piss poor speakers and the fabric covering them.

I would also prefer a glossy display, but in practice I just don't find it makes any difference. I arrange my office for no reflections anyhow, which results in an equivalent experience. Additionally, the Dell 6K has excellent blacks. It has much better blacks than any IPS panel I have used.

> I'd much rather have a barely good enough interface on a platform that works than a great UI on a platform that doesn't work.

I don’t care what developers want. I care what the users want.

This overlooks the hard work and risk undertook by the virtuous founders of Paypal and Stripe.

*SBOs love to advocate the virtues of "risk-taking" to defend exploiting others, and the opposite when they find themselves at the other end of the exploitation.

The issue is that this illustrates that Lemmy has any priorities above the onboarding process. My mind will need to be changed about that before I will read any further.

Additionally, I can be quite confident that Lemmy has already alienated so many others just like me who will also need to be won over somehow. You only get so many chances.

Frankly, I think open source advocates are extremely ignorant about the realities of late capitalism and the tasks ahead of them, which serves as the underlying reason for failing to get the priorities straight. I have contributed many hours to open source projects myself. I am no stranger to the short-sighted anarchist mindset that permeates open source land.

As a subreddit admin considering moving to Lemmy, I stopped reading at:

You can check if a username is taken by searching for that username's profile page at "https://lemmy.world/u/[the-username]" (replace "[the-username]" with the username you want).

That is the point. Having a job does not mean making a living or having any dignity.

Definition?

How insufferable and/or out of touch and/or smartass does one have to be to pretend this qualifies as popularly accessible information? I cannot even imagine...

Yes, but you aren't supposed to know that.

Additionally, you can say what you want about chattel slavery but it rendered a very strong employment rate.

Would you please explain the logic for the dishonesty as you explained the logic for diverging from meritocracy? Surely there is a good reason for such an allegedly respectable institution misleading the public that pays its bills, yes?

I think this is reasonable. If nothing else, it is the aspect least possible to imitate. If included, the best imitation would be cheap strobing. Anything better than that would require synthesis, which is something that even rendering engines require significant sacrifices to produce.
