    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    loopaddiction my build worked out millimeter perfect. Let me explain it and I’ll add the downside on the bottom. I can recommend this setup to anyone skilled enough to know about this forum. Downside: this monitor arm is in the style of the Fully Jarvis, but a heavier build version. My wife...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    The best monitor purchase of my last 30 thirty years was the Westinghouse LVM-37W3. In a couple of different roles it gave me over a decade of outstanding service. I can't help but be reminded of it by the C2 42" so far. Similar size, excellent performance, but you have to know a little bit...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    I ended up going with the Mountup "up to 33lbs" arm, similar in design to the Jarvis, and got it installed today. It moves in all the positions I want it to. I'll give it a week of testing before I declare it a success. A nice touch of the Mountup is that the gas tension screw has a readout for...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Would you mind sharing why? I’ll have a handle attached to the VESA mount, so I won’t torque the screen directly.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    I’m picking up an on sale Best Buy C2 42” today. What’s the current consensus on best monitor arm? 1. Ergotron LX / Amazon Basics 2. Ergotron HX (non-HD) 3. Fully Jarvis / Monoprice I had planned to get an Ergotron HX but am reading that it’s very stiff to adjust. I move my monitor back and...

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    Lava Lamp Freak really interested in how you will think this compares to the Studio Display. I love the design and speakers on that thing but I knew up front that 27” would be too small for me; so I never bought one. And hey, we’ve got just enough time under Dell’s return policy in case the...

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    In what I would call a questionable aesthetic choice, Dell likes to put speakers on top of the monitor rather than the sides.

    Pretty sure it’s height adjustable. It even pivots, which is important to me.

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    Dell U3224KB has been launched! MSRP $3,200 but showing as $2,560 after 20% off. Not sure if that’ll just be the real price, a launch special, or a pricing mistake. I ordered one.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    My prediction: somebody will make an 8K 42” TV that becomes an unintended monitor sensation among enthusiasts first. And then we’ll start seeing companies target the resolution for PC in earnest.

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    I didn't know that. Really? (Not to be rude). How does it even vary refresh rate across the screen? That's insane!

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    I think we all want a HiDPI, HFR, HDR monitor. But at most we can get two at the moment, so priorities depend on our use cases. The only HDR computer displays I use so far are a MacBook Pro and my iPhone 12. What surprised me is that they can display HDR and non-HDR content at the same time, as...

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    That spec sheet has a lot going on I like. Only weirdness is that while it has a mini DP 2.1 port, the TB4 port lists DP 1.4 with DSC. Maybe that only means that it’s backwards compatible with TB3 sources. But it could mean that the TB4 port doesn’t support 10-bit. As always, we’ll have to...

    Rise of the HiDPI Displays

    I feel like that one is one refresh away from greatness. Only being able to connect one computer and having to use two DP cables to do it strikes me as the sort of thing that can cause annoying problems. And of course is totally unsuitable if you work on Windows and macOS. But add one or two...
