4k is making me hungry

Old video, but I hadn't seen it before. Yeah, 4K looks good, but the food looks even better.

I am so hungry right now.

I just realized I don't even have a 4k device to test this on. I need to get with the times. It looks nice in HD though. Really when it comes to HD and up the camera/lens setup and codec when rendering is what can really make the difference.

i have a 2160x1440 monitor. Not exactly 4K, but still looks gorgeous

doh...no 4k monitor

Although will I really be able to tell the difference? I don't know.

Thinking of getting one though
Anyone recommend a good 4k IPS 27-29 inch monitor for <$500?

 

[Howard]

For some reason it felt like it was sharper than 1080p normally is. Maybe that's just my brain playing tricks on me.

Anyway, butterteeth.

I am using this one
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=113&cp_id=11307&cs_id=1130703&p_id=10489&seq=1&format=2

cant get a cheaper 27" 2560x1440 IPS panel. The monitor has a few shortcomings namely the flimsy stand and the crappy menu buttons. But the screen is simply beautiful and the colors are true. I got it last BF sale. It died on me once after 7 months. RMA process was pretty easy and I got my replacement monitor within 2 weeks. As far as I can tell, they sent me a new monitor to replace the broken one.

For the money, this is a very good monitor

Thanks, I might be in the market for one this black friday. About what price range did you get it for last year?

i tried out a true 4k monitor (3840x2160) but I am using it in conjunction with my two older samsung 1600x1200 monitors as a 3 monitor setup and win7 could not scale each monitor separately. So either the text and icons were too small on the 4k monitor and ok sized on the samsungs, or if I scaled up, ok sized on the 4K and way too big on the samsungs. So the 2160x1440 resolution worked well with my two existing monitors at 100% scaling. But apparently win10 can scale each monitor separately, so if you're looking to use a multi display setup, then I'd look for a true 4K monitor if I were you. Although you'd be paying a lot more for a UHD 4K IPS monitor

 

[Rakehellion]

1800p monitor.

Image quality was good, video was boring.

 

[sdifox]

my tablet is 2560x1600, does that count?

 

[John Connor]

Funny. I had Chinese for dinner. Although I think that's Japanese. For some damn reason I've been on a Chinese food kick. Last year it was Mexican.

I am confused. Did you have Chinese or Japanese food for dinner?

 

[luv2liv]

When i went from 1080p on a 24" to 1440p on a 27" i had to get used to the smaller text but it was still readable. I cannot fathom why people would but a 28" 4K monitor, it needs to be over 30" before i would consider purchasing.

2560x1600 here. Actually though, the 1080p version of that video looks pretty good too. I think the issue here is that video was a technology advertisement, so they have to make it look as good as possible, whereas a lot of streaming video or broadcast cable 1080i/1080p really looks quite mediocre. On my TV, I'd rather watch a high quality 480p DVD than pixelated and blocky broadcast 1080i. Luckily most broadcast 1080i these days is acceptable.

For some reason it felt like it was sharper than 1080p normally is. Maybe that's just my brain playing tricks on me.

Anyway, butterteeth.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Most 1080p on YouTube kinda sucks. Plus the video was strongly lit, etc. It was designed to look good. Kinda reminds me of those Panasonic 1080p demo videos of women walking around etc.

1800p monitor.

But the food looked awesome.

Honestly, I don't like the font sizes of my 27" iMac. The font sizes would be the same on a 27" Retina iMac, so I still wouldn't like that, but at least the Retina you can use alternate resolutions and still have it look good.

The other problem though is that 27" iMacs with the bottom chin are too tall for my liking on the desk. That's why I'm considering going to a 21.5" Retina iMac in the future. Better default font sizing, and better ergonomics...

My favourite iMac size though was the 24". Perfect font sizes, and perfect ergonomics for me.

24.0" 1920x1200 = 94 ppi
21.5" 1920x1080 = 102 ppi
27.0" 2560x1600 = 112 ppi

A 24" 3840x2400 (189 ppi) Retina iMac would be glorious.

Put a recliner in the middle of a dark light controlled room, paint the walls and ceiling black, and then set up a 100 or so inch screen along one wall, sit about 8 or so feet back.

Right now, the 4K I dream about is the Sony VPLVW350ES, but its too expensive, and my HC3800 is still running fantastic.

"Although I think the video is showing Japanese food."

Better?

 

[quikah]

Pretty sure that was Chinese.

Finally got around to trying my Surface 3 output to my 4K TV via the mini display port. Worked great except for the fact that I get no sound out to the TV, had the same problem with an older tablet via micro-hdmi, I think there is something wrong with the TV, works for every other input I have tried. Just doesn't like windows for some reason.

Same here so I watched it (and the one with the flowers) at 1080, really does anything need to be higher than 1080 is 4k just another "you gotta have it!" marketing tool.

Chinese all the way through. Including the girl :awe:

I had to watch this on a loop at CES. It was torture.
