  1. Arh. I was reading that article wondering what DSC was. Very helpful and insightful. Thank you. Regardless, I'm super excited for this. I just wonder when it's all going to land. 60herts @ 4K on the desktop hurts. As my 4K LG panel died, I went back to a 1080p panel doing 120hertz and I can definitely say that it's a much more 'pleasing to the eye' experience (minus the extra pixels, obviously). I figure as a video editor, a 'creative' and also a gamer... and the fact I stare at my monitor 12-14 hours a day .. it would be worth the investment (and I was hoping other people would be in the same boat too, asking the same questions!! )
  2. Good pickup! Thanks! 1 more question. Will these 4K/144herts implementations be run via displayport 1.3 or 1.4? Correct me if I'm wrong but the 1080/1080ti range rock displayport 1.3 and wouldn't even be capable of running this sort of 4K/144hertz panel? Is that correct?
  3. Understandable Happy to add a bit on to cover the extra cost (plus likely the GPU upgrade too). It's all down to timing, really. How long the expected wait might be. It sounds like it's still some time away.
  4. Well I have a $1750 store credit for replacing my LG 31MU97 monitor, so it's something I'm definitely considering.. if someone can give me an answer to when they are expected to land. There were articles posted early (Jan) 2017 about these types of monitors, and it just seems to have gone abit dead since then.. so I was just wondering. Thanks for your time, @Enderman.
  5. It's the flexibility of the panel that I desire. To be able to scale down into 1920x1080 and run FPS games in high refresh rate. Then to be able to go back to the desktop @ 4K and not hurt my eyes @ 60hertz!
  6. Hi all- A very simple question. Would you buy a monitor right now? Or wait for the next generation monitors to come out? 4k 60hertz seems limiting. The promise of 4K 144hertz sounds amazing to me... but when will this be out? Is there an upcoming trade show I should watch with more announcements, etc? (Unfortunately my LG 31MU97 died on me and LG has issued me a 'store credit' to replace it. I'm sitting here looking at the current batch of monitors and thinking they might be quickly obsolete soon. Thoughts?) Thank you in advance for your time.
  7. me please! I'd put all those cores to good use on a video editing machine x
  8. thanks for the feedback. I was wondering how much better than Creative Inspire T10's are than the Logitechs Z150 (as they were listed by price)
  9. Dat classic question; - 2.0 desktop or bookshelf speakers. - around the $50 mark AUD (around 40-45 USD) - suitable for soho use and casual listening Looking at: - Microlab B70 - Logitech Z150 - Creative Inspire T10 - Microlab FC10 (it's one of my girlfriends xmas presents.. so thank so much everyone!!) I appreciate your time and attention to this post, audioheads. x
  10. Ed - please cut your fingernails .. (if that was your hand in b-roll) xx
  11. I agree. JayzTwoCents said that he saw considerable bandwidth improvement over DDR3? Would have been nice to see a 6 core X79 vs 6 core X99 - especially considering dual vs quad memory channels.
  12. Yeah, not to be rude.. but we've known it's going to be August 29 for the last few weeks now..
  13. Very impressive. I've been saving for some time now, but I think I'll wait until just after Christmas for prices to potentially drop a little. However, lack of Thunderbolt on that Asus board? I thought daisychaining multiple IPS monitors would be pretty sweet. Thoughts? EDIT: checked out the manual. Saw the TB Header. Still. Dedicated I/O would be good, right?
