  1. Ah I see what you're talking about. I hadn't read that the Pascal card needed 3GB of RAM. You're right then, the 1050 won't work, you'll need the 1050Ti
  2. I assume you mean, have I been able to stream at 4K with a Pascal card? Yes. Netflix, Amazon, and YT.
  3. The 1050 will work just fine. Don't expect to game at 4k but for video playback it'll do the job. If you get the blu-ray player make sure it's one of the few that support UHD discs.
  4. Mooost of the time I'm just staring at a monitor array, looking at time-correlated numbers and making sure they match the ones that I've pre-modeled. If they're not, I have to type other numbers in a computer, make phone calls, or get on the radio. I think there are alot of cool things about the industry, particularly the maritime side of it. If you get a chance, the port offers boat tours that will take you along the waterway to look at alot of the different types of traffic that we see. Watching a Suezmax come into port and dock is pretty incredible, especially when you consider that it happens hundreds of times a day, all over the world, without incident. My company is doing relatively well, all things considered. The O&G downturn doesn't affect the port as much as it does the major firms and exploration companies. Future prospects: there are several new facilities coming online that are going to drive a significant amount of traffic. I wouldn't say things are booming, necessarily, but there will always be jobs available. Houston is diversified enough that we don't get crushed by any one trend. Awhhh is it that obvious? XP Always glad to see another LTTer who appreciates a REAL summer.
  5. I used to run into the same problem you have: finding wide, high-res images is not the easiest. So I started making my own. You may need to split them up and rearrange or compress to make your panels match, idk. You're welcome to any of these for personal use. I have more but these are the ones small enough to fit the attachment size limit. 1: Heavy Runner Mountain: 19.6MB, 11218x3939px
  6. I'm a systems analyst for a company down at the Port of Houston.
  7. I think the options for games that will utilize two monitors simultaneously/well are...rare at best.
  8. Are you planning to keep both of those monitors on their original stands? No idea what your current desk situation is, but definitely something to keep in mind.
  9. Unfortunately, HDR technology is still in its infancy when it comes to consumer-level monitors. The R&D budget has gone to the television sector because that's where the numbers and margins are, at the moment. You're far more likely to find an affordable, HDR-capable TV than you are a wallet-friendly monitor that meets even the HDR10 standard.
  10. The main difference in between those two panels is that the LG is an IPS-type while the ViewSonic is a TN. Given that both have the same refresh rate, however, you should get the IPS display. Better viewing angles and more accurate colors provide a better experience. You won't ever be able to notice a difference between 1ms and 3ms GTG. Certainly not at 75hz. Best of luck!
  11. The difference in performance is entirely dependent on the application you're using. In terms of the actual pixels you're asking your card to push, however, 1440p is 1.77 times as demanding as 1080p. With that 1080, you shouldn't have much issue hitting 144hz, unless you're asking certain games for ultra. As a monitor recommendation I say go for the Dell. The extra real estate and sharpness is worth it.
  12. I believe Sierra's correct, you'll need to merge all the images into one super-collage with each screen in the proper position.
  13. Take at look at Lian Li, and tell me if the PC-A76 is along the lines of what you're looking for. http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-a76/
  14. You're right, there are numerous "tutorials" and follow-alongs on YT that aren't very explanatory or helpful when it comes down to the art and science of color correction and color grading. My recommendation to you would be to try limiting your search to videos put out by actual cinematographers or colorists who are using their work for a living, and skip the videos put out by kids with a Blackmagic Pocket and some spare time. In the interest of learning, however, consider this as an inexhaustive list of the WHY behind color correction: Fixing exposure problems Fixing white balance problems Repairing excessive noise from aggressive ISO settings Expanding the constrast from LOG or Flat recorded images “Developing” the image from a pure RAW recording Setting the initial black, white, and gamma points in a clip Color correction is the attempt to rectify these problems. Once the colorist is satisfied with the initial pass, they may move onto the WHY behind color grading: Shot matching, or ensuring the editor”s “invisible edit” isn’t revealed by shots that look different as the timeline plays down Removing distractions by isolating and manipulating annoying elements that prevent shots from matching each other Controlling the viewer's interest, by using shape masks (or other techniques) to attract the eye to a desired focal point Creating looks: Stylizing an image to indicate a flashback, dream sequence, or re-creation, or simply to give the entire project a unique feel Alot of people who are new to the game will jump straight to that last bit, eager to give their handycam project that signature faded filmstock look, or the ever-present "orange and teal". You'll find alot of that on YT. The technology is exciting, and creating projects has never been more accessible to the general public. Keep at it. You'll pick up the valuable knowledge in bits and pieces, but it IS out there.
  15. Acer and Asus are both set to release displays based on AU Optronics' new panel. Release was supposed to happen Q2 but nothing publicly available yet. Specs meet your request, however: 99% Adobe RGB, 10-bit colour, HDR, 4K, 144hz, and 27"
  16. EW's correct, you don't need a card with the Pro drivers unless your specific app doesn't support GeForce/Radeon rendering. (a la 10-bit CC Suite).
  17. I think OpenGL actually IS the concern here: Adobe CC Suite will only render 10-bit color through OpenGL if you are using a pro card with the requisite drivers. Consider debating between the Quadro and FirePro lineup rather than GeForce and Radeon.
  18. Just something to be mindful of: depending on what color space she's working in, your choices for the entire graphics pipeline may vary. If she requires 10-bit color for any of the CreativeCloud suite, you'll need either a Quadro or Firepro card (GeForce and Radeon do NOT support 10-bit in OpenGL), and a monitor that supports 10-bit color. (Not just 8-bit+FRC). None of the monitors people have linked above have 99% AdobeRGB coverage. Don't buy them. Dell offers the UP2516D and UP2716D (25" and 27" sizes respectively) for a reasonable price. Both are QHD resolution.
  19. Given the length of your potential upgrade cycle, I'd recommend you go for as high-resolution of a monitor as you can spring for. If it were just for casual gaming I might not say that, but you mentioned image editing. That task is where the ability to get a good sense for shape and detail will be adversely affected by a larger panel with low resolution.
  20. Yurizaki's correct, you won't have any problems with "strain" on your card. Just be mindful of the cables and connections that you'll need, and make sure each of your monitors has the correct inputs to match the connection you want to assign to them. Best of luck building
  21. Eric's correct. Take a look at Ergotron and Loctek's solutions. You're going to pay accordingly for that screen size though
  22. I don't believe there's anyway to hang two monitors off either side without replacing...whatever you have holding up your central monitor. Reason being, the VESA solution that holds either of the two side monitors requires something stable to attach to in the center. It can't be clipped to your middle monitor's bezel/frame because: 1) this would require a unique or at least, adaptable design for each model of monitor that exists in the world 2) the bezel and frame are not designed to hold anything but their own weight, let alone another monitor's weight leveraged out to the side. Your best bet is to go with an mount like this: http://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/98-009#/?color=white 24" or smaller support in a hinged parabola. All attaches to one center stand so you can keep your desk clean. Best of luck.
