  1. Ok I tried to switch ports on the bottom two screens and the problem is still on the same screen. Since the dots seem to disappear for the TV menu it's probably a bad connection or cable. Unfortunately that one is almost ureachable due to the way the screens are mounted I will probably have to change the cable after the whole thing is taken apart for transport... Thanks.
  2. Hello fellow builders, I have just finished building my UHD 8K screen for a trade show, My joy has been however a bit spoiled by the fact that one of the screens seems to be malfunctioning. I'm seeing little red specks in the image of the whole screen and quite noticeably at the left edge of the screen. Does anyone know what could cause that? I have four UHD 4K Samsung TVs in a two by two grid. I'm driving it with an ASUS GTX1070 OC. The GPU and the screens are brand new. One thing that concerns me is the fact that I have only a 430W Corsair PCU powering the PC. The build is CPU: 5-4460, GPU: ASUS GTX1070 OC, MoBo: GIGABYTE Z97N-WIF, RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 2x4 GB DDR3, SSD: CORSAIR FORCE LS SERIES 240 GB,PSU: CORSAIR CX430
  3. I believe you are mistaken about the aspect ratio. in both cases it stays 16:9. You are multiplying both by the same number so the ratio stays the same
  4. Ok thanks to everyone for their help. I'll wait a little while longer if anyone doesn't now for sure whether 1060 will work or not. This was super quick, I like this forum
  5. Would 1060 work? (Yeah I know 1070 would be much better but client will ask nonetheless). Nvidia claims it has Maximum Digital Resolution of 4320p60Hz... Thanks a lot for your help (^_^)
  6. Thanks. How do i connect it? Three screens into DP1.4 ports and the fourth one into a HDMI 2.0 port? Will that work? Also I would need to convert the PD into HDMI for the TVs but that shouldn't be an issue right?
  7. Hello fellow builders, it seems I'm in need of your council. (^_^) I'm in the middle of designing a booth for a trade show and the key feature of the design should be a gigantic LCD display array. I've been doing a bit of research and have come up with two possible solutions. However I have no idea which one would be easier to set up as i have never worked with so many screens and at such resolutions. In the end I need all the panels to act as a single screen. The option no. 1: I can get my hands on 4 pieces of UHD 55" TVs (at about 500 Euros each) and lay them out in a 2x2 grid. That would give me effectively 4320p (8K-ish) screen of reasonable size with great pixel density as people are going to be able to walk up right to it. The option no. 2: The other variant is IMHO slightly more complicated. I can get 9 40" Full HD panels (at about 250 Euros each) and lay them out in a 3x3 grid. That would give me a bigger 3240p (6K-ish) screen with not-so-great pixel density. Personally I'm preferring the first variant but I'm interested in your opinions as well. The main issue I have with both setups is how to connect it all to a PC. Should I use some kind of DisplayPort splitter to two HDMIs? And what GPU do I need to drive this resolution? That brings me nicely to the last part of my inquiry... What to drive it with I need to build a single purpose PC to go along with the screen. Even though it is a massive resolution all I need is to display a website in full screen with some simple animation or play a video H.246/x264 or H.245 in MP4 or MKV. That's it. No crazy 8K gaming like Linus did in his video. (^_^) I'd like to keep the cost of this PC as low as possible since it is really going to serve this single purpose its whole life. Any suggestions? Namely for GPU and CPU?
