Hi All
I’m still bogged down trying to move on from 2 x HDMI monitors.
I’m confused by the scaling issue and have tried reducing by -25 but it made no difference.
I have a new PC with Display Ports and wonder if anyone has succeeded in getting what was on 2 hdmi screens onto a UHD or 4K monitor?
I started on Atari too many years ago but still feel a big 1 screen monitor is my goal,
Im using a 4k monitor at full resolution which is equivalent to 4 full hd. Monitors so I get double what you see on two hd monitors. My screen is 32”. I use my older reading glasses and don’t need to scale at all. I don’t see the point in 4k monitors if you then scale the picture as you may as well just have hd monitors
agreed - although there’s also a common monitor (not TV) resolution between full HD and 4K: WQHD (1440p)
side note: larger than 32" 4k monitors have also become more common since I bought my 4k TV. The advantage is often higher refresh frequencies (more important for gaming than DAW use) and DisplayPort support. But they tend to cost more than 4K TV’s.
I can strongly recommend my 32" 4k monitor with this “Ergo” stand!
Depending on what I do, I can pull it in easily to inches from my face (no reading glasses ), or slide it on the side over my midi controller.
On top of this, it connects also directly to my laptop or even iPad pro via a straight USB-C cable, while charging it…! Also has Display Port and HDMI.
If using a TV I strongly suggest making sure you have 4:4:4 chroma subsampling so text is crisp like on a computer monitor. I believe HDMI 2.0 is the way to go.
There is an image to download for the test
I have a TCL 50C725 tv.
and it works great in 4k
even with an older HD6850 graphics card
I am in 30hz and I have no problem with the display
I just added an active 4K HDMI to Displayport adapter
