Some Monitors - Computer Setup

Comments

TIL: Small amounts of weed is NSFW
Had to go to the comments to find out why it was tagged in the first place lol
Wired speakers are really annoying though as the wire's never long enough to get them anywhere unless they're good home theatre speakers.
Those speakers use regular speaker wire. And the wires that are included for the surround speakers are 30ft each.
It would be better to spend the money on a better set of 2.1s or a receiver and full range speakers instead of a 4.1/5.1 that isn't properly setup and placed.
Or you can you know, cut the wires and make them longer.
I was searching very intently for a penis somewhere. I knew it would be there, I just couldn't see it.
I get that problem all the time!
When you're going to the bathroom...
The clutter everywhere is NSFL.
I thought it was because it was PC porn
I thought it was how sexy dat screen is
The resolution! It's not safe for work! You try to fill the screen up with excel and word documents, but you just can't justify filling it all, so you open a little window of coolcomputersetups in the corner, and before you know it you're smoking pot and jacking off to Ultra HD tentacle porn. The distractions are too much! TOO MUCH I TELL YOU!
Wait I thought "UHD" was for 8K?
Nope. UHD is an adequate descriptor and valid term for '4k' TVs. More so than '4k' is, if anything. Seeing as '4k' has been an industry term until now. Meaning various different things than just the resolution depending on which standard is being applied.
You mean because 4k is more like the 720p of resolutions in this next roll-out? (38??p v 40??p/ like 720p v 1080p)
Terabyte. Terrabyte is what happens when you eat a fistful of dirt.
Yes because that wasnt a typo or anything, so feel free to jump in.
TY, now I can safely open this at work.
Oh, I thought it was impossible to do work with such an awesome setup.
Holy shit is that why it's tagged? I thought it was a joke, like oh this resolution is so sexy it's not safe for work
Remember when NSFW meant there would be boobs? I don't
What justifies buying a 4k over something like a 30" ultrasharp?
The first monitor sub 2k that supports 60hz.
I hope 4k pushes u3014 prices down.
All of the Korean monitors only seem to have pushed dell's Ultrasharp monitors up in price.
Yeah u2412m's seem to have gone up.
Yeah I just dropped $600 on a U2713HM...
Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q Black 23.8" 6ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS 4K
Wow that's awesome! Not so accurate though...
I was looking at the prices from Dell's website.
The prices are $200 in difference and the u3014 is the most expensive one. Am I missing something?
That's what I was trying to say in my original comment. I guess the way I worded the comment made it sound the opposite of what I meant.
Ate an edible, accidentally a word in my head.
Well how does the pixel density matter when no shows are in more than 1080p and no games more than 1600p?
Most modern games should be able to run 4K, if your GPU is up to that task in another matter entirely. For normal use, text is a lot clearer on a 4K display.
On a side note, I didn't want a 30" display. This beast is a 24"
Curious to why you wouldn't want a bigger display with that high of a resolution, especially having plenty of desk space. Would you really have turned down a 30" for the same price?
I've been hearing about some monitors that support 4k resolutions at 30hz and higher resolutions for gaming at 60hz. Can't remember which make or model it was but it looked awesome.
I presume by higher resolutions you mean lower resolutions?
There was the seiki 39" 4k TV, maybe that's it.
Do you find you run out of VRAM on some games? Like Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4/
Just FYI, there's little to no benefit to RAIDing SSDs. RAID 0, anyway... Backup is still a tangible benefit with RAID 1.
I have the Dell 30" 1600 res screens running BF4 with 2x 680 and thats my issue.... Couldn't imagine going higher res without a major jump in GPU power.
Love ASROCK Mobos. Half the price of Asus for almost identical performance.
Nice. how much did you way for the monitor?
The monitor set me back 1400.
Is that monitor locked at 30hz?
Full DP has the capability of 60hz in DP v1.2 (has to be enabled on the monitor)
Mini display ports have been available in v1.2 since 2009. Is it just the mini DP on the monitor that does not support 1.2?
That's correct, just this monitor does not support DP v1.2 in the mini form. Found that out when using the cable supplied DP to mini DP.
So, could you then go mini DP on your video card to the full size DP on the monitor? And still get the full refresh rate of course
The 780ti does not have mini dp. 2 dvi, 1 HDMI and one DP
Okay, on a video card then, not necessarily with OP's specific card.
Wow, Metro 2033 has not been optimized well.
Honestly this depends on the games. I feel that 4k is still a bit too early to judge so I won't give my opininon on it.
Why did you decide to raid 0 the SSDs? Ice read that it can effect their performance negatively over time compared to just having them both set up normally side by side. This was a while ago though, curious if things changed.
It allows me to read/write at 1GB/s instead of the 550MB/s they claim per drive. If the drives fail, I don't keep anything of value on them since they are my OS drives. Plus I get a 480GB as an OS drive for the OS, Games and programs.
Have you speed tested them to be double the speed? When I was considering this and doing research I remember them saying there was no significant speed gain doing it with fast SSDs. I really wish I could find the articles, but I'm having trouble digging them up.
Wowsers.. I didnt know you could get a 4k monitor that small yet. Price shows it I guess x.x
Their 32" is even more. 2500 smackarus
Love that wallpaper of the LHC. The CMS is one of the most beautiful parts to look at.
Oh, I have posted numerous times to the gaming setups coolcomputersetups and not all of them worked out. They are still available for your viewing pleasure. I had a random thought to post the update. It's been 2.5 weeks with this setup and it just dawned on me.
Probably because your photos were terrible quality, and nobody cared about your bed, guitar or "recording studio."
I may be a bit of an audiophile, but that doesn't mean everyone is. It goes both ways, too. I have a friend who has over 1,000 dollars into audio equipment on his rig, but uses a 1680x1050 monitor because he has terrible eyesight and can't tell the difference.
El oh el it was a cheap solution at the time to get these. I was looking for decent sound at a decent price. I have not upgraded the sound as of yet. It is one of the things on my list.
Try out Yamahas HS studiospeakers. They sound very awesome and gaming is perfect with them.
What's really bad is that you have all 5 speakers in front of you. If you're going to buy a surround setup, at least place the rear speakers somewhere behind you or off to the side somewhere...
You do realize not everyone is a audiophile right?
Too bad that was easily the worst album they've ever put out. It really sounded like shitty radio poprock.
Haha, admittedly I've never heard the album, and actually megadeth isn't totally my favorite style of metal anyway, but I just thought it was interesting
It's not their best. Nor was I expecting another Rust In Peace. However, I really fucking like Kingmaker. Burn is good too.
A few of the songs had some decent intros, but for the most part, the album is a whole lot of "meh"
Perks of being in CO
Does that say take as needed or toke as needed?
Is that really a Simpsons joke used on this?
Gotta love colorado. What kind did you get?
Nice, I picked up some quasar over the weekend. Being in Colorado does have its perks.
That it does, that it does...
You guys really stole the thunder from us in California, but rightfully so. I'll enjoy some San Fernando Valley OG at my computer setup for you guys!
TIL they sell UTZ crab chips in CO.
I was searching through the comments looking to see if anyone noticed what looked like a distinct Utz crab chip bag. Good eye.
They sadly don't. The GF's parents live back home in MD. She ships me a regular supply of UTZ :D
Haha awesome. Nothing beats UTZ crab chips.
Hah, my roommate just bought the same jar. Nice.
Wait so are you using the monitor like a retina display or are you using all 4k pixels on the 24"? If so won't that be tiny?
Oh, I am using all 4k pixels ;) The text becomes so tiny that you have to super close to even read it.
It was available. I didn't want to spend another 1200 on top.
Yes. It is 150% larger than normal settings in windows. I can do screenshots of the differences for you.
Is that a GTA IV safe deposit box?
Wow! Very good eye. It is indeed
Haha I have one myself that I still use so it caught my eye. I never ran into anybody that had it before.
I guess I'm the second one that spots it. I got it too.
That was my phone wallpaper for a while!
Cant wait til we are at 4k @ 120/144Hz. That will be incredible. Would you consider getting a mechanical keyboard next? Moving from over-priced membrane keyboards to mech was the best thing I have done!
Being at 120Hz would be amazing. Once graphics cards can run that at ultra settings, I think it will be another monitor upgrade :)
I agree that the GPU's today can't run 4k at 120fps (at least in the consumer market), but one day; one day.
ITT: Nice eraser bro, is that a BIC?
I've got those same Logitech speakers. Excellent quality for the price. Any reason you have the rear speakers on the desk instead of behind you?
The space behind me is too far to put them behind.
Have you considered speaker stands?
Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)
The real bot the best bot.
That would be awkward. I have a couch right behind where I sit.
Having rears in front of you is even more awkward. speaker fail.
Agreed a $100 pair of bookshelf speakers would be better than those Logitech speakers positioned like they are. If your speakers are made by a company that makes computer accessories you likely are being ripped off.
Fair enough. Surround sound speakers can be a bitch to position, depending on the room.
Question: Did you know you were gone have to put your 5.1 system like that? I really don't understand why people buy 5.1 if they cant set it up like a 5.1 system.
In my previous apartment I had it setup correctly. In this one, I cannot set it up as 5.1 due to more space. I would love to have the surrounding speakers behind.
A yeah that sucks :/
Mount them to the back of your chair.
Now that's an idea... having the cables back there would be a PITA... rolling over the cables and possibly tripping over them. Also dumb doggy would probably get stuck somehow.
Haha. Yeah I was mostly just kidding. If they were wireless and not so heavy maybe.
May i ask what type of car thats sitting in the back?
Mercedes SL 65 AMG bluetooth car
Impressive speakers, how good are they? I was planning on getting that kind soon
Thanks. They sound pretty nice.
Nice. Honest question - is there any point in a 4k monitor right now? At least in terms of gaming?
Thanks. There really aren't any games that can show in the 4k res. I was going to go with a 1440p monitor but since I had the extra cash, why not go 4k?
I like your thinking. 4k looks amazing, once there's more content you'll be laughing.
Laughing years from now when that same monitor is worth about $300 and content is finally coming out?
That is some delicious swedish chips
What is that white bag-shaped thing in the bottom corner?
The white bag to the right is the oakley airwave goggles. I am charging them up and syncing the data before going back up to the mountains to ride.
Is that the LHC as your background?
The cyber snipa silencer. not the best mouse in the world but it works.
Is that a bag of UTZ crab chips?
That's a nice tv mount you have there.
Do you have that Gopro clamped to the desk and set up for use as a webcam or is it just set up there to charge?
I have it there to rest. I mainly put there to charge the other batteries.
ENVY LEVEL FOR MONITOR: ALL CAPS.
NSFW? it's a RX... what the fuck is this prohibition shit.
Weed, gaming, GoPro, ski goggles.... I think we need to be friends.
The desktop background is awfully similar to Megadeth's Super Collider album which is NSFL so I assumed that's what the NSFW tag was for.
Have you tried the monitor at 1920x1080 in games? Does it look ok? I would love a high pixel density monitor for programming etc. but I don't want to buy a new GPU for games.
I know some youtube videos are in 4k, what else can you watch in 4k right now?
Starburts, weed, chips, gopro... you seem like a cool dude.
Isn't anyone that doesn't level there monitor a moron? Uhhhh....that annoys me....
I'm gonna need that wallpaper. I've got a Lenovo Yoga 2 and it's goddamn impossible to find something that big.
Why don't people clean up their desks to not look like slobs when posting?
Why hide how you use your computer? The available space on my desk is for my macbook pro and dell venue 8 pro tablet. The weed lives on my desk since I am usually at my desk when I get home.
Damn right, u keep it real.
You're just begging for the downvotes, aren't ya?
I so envy you but my old roomate would have a minor heart attack if anyone went near his station with greasy chip fingers.
Dope setup, I keep my weed next to my gaming setup too
Why do you retards buy 5.1 systems and not set them up properly? It's so fucking pointless.
If you read the comments, I have already answered this. Due to the setup at this apartment is difficult to setup the rear speakers. My last apartment allowed me to set them up properly.
