Monitor

[chris-x//]

Bought a Dell P2715Q, colors are very good by default and price tag was great for a 27" 4K monitor.
Using windows scaling makes it usable for work. Working with adobe products is a pleasure.

Regarding max, well, it sucks. It's too tiny, even with windows scaling (Totally unreadable without scaling). But since I'm used to max, I rarely read inside it and know where my tools are.

Here's a 4k Max screenshot : http://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthr...855#post656855

They bought Dell's U2515H monitors here at work. They are 2560*1440 and to be honest, the ratio size/resolution is perfect. I might go with two of them in the near future and keep the 4K one on the best-cg-card-machine.

4K resolution is really heavy on the cg card even on a 980 ti.

I got my 4K and it's pretty nice. It's 28", so I'll have to get used to the distance the mouse has to travel, or maybe I'll try speeding it up. I have always used two monitors, however, I haven't for the past year. To tell you the truth, I don't miss it. It feels like I stay on task better with one monitor. Having said that, I do have my MacBook Pro with a 27" thunderbolt display next to me, too. With the new screen, to tell you the truth, I am not seeing anything jaw dropping. It seems a little washed out and things are really small. I'll get a calibrating device and see If I can get it to look better.

Nice! how does it compare to the apple thunderbolt display in terms of picture quality?

The Thunderbolt isn't 4K, it is 2560 x 1440 pixels, and I don't have them side-by-side. The 27" Thunderbolt, like this 4K, isn't anything spectacular. I do like proofing from my iPad, which seems to have the best screen.

Autodesk, get with it. Not supporting 4K is lame. Photoshop scales flawlessly.

[glorybound]

Everything is working fine, except for 3DS MAX. Photoshop flies and so does the web, but MAX lags. The mouse lags and so does tabbing through input boxes. I can't imagine my GTX 970 isn't beefy enough for 4K. What happens when a normal PC user gets one?

[Morbid Angel]

thats funny max is not working.....autodesk fail.

I read an article about needing the correct cable. I am using the HDMI, however, the article said that you need to use the DisplayPort. I don't even know if my card has a display port. I just looked it up and the GTX 970 does have a DisplayPort.

[Morbid Angel]

you mean dvi?

[glorybound]

No, DisplayPort. My card has one and the cable came with the monitor. I launched MAX, went to shaded mode, and MAX crashed.

[glorybound]

My card supports 4D, so MAX is the weak link here. Everything else works and looks great. PhotoShop scales beautifully and runs smooth.

bobby, even with displayport, 3dsmax doesn´t scale right.

[glorybound]

I'm hoping it solves the lagging thing. I know it will not solve the scaling issue, which is LAME!

[glorybound]

This worked for icon and text size, but not lagging and the inability to work because of it.

If I set my screen resolution to something like 1920 X 1080, I don't have any issues in MAX. So, it's kind of lame, but it is a workaround.
