Computing at 4K - Computing at 4K

Recently I acquired a new screen for my gaming PC, a Panasonic TX-L65WT600 65-Inch 4K panel to sit in my lounge (I use a wireless keyboard and mouse/gamepad for gaming), replacing an LG 50” Plasma that was 1080p.

​

Having heard about the benefits of Ultra-HD, I was excited to try it...

Interesting mate. Beyond my wallet range but thanks for the article

And yes 360GB is a big file

At my speed constantly 7.6MBps (60mbps) it would still take 13hours to DL it

OUCH!

65 inch screen !!!!!!!

You live in a cinema?

Might just wait till they come down in price?
65" screen, a bit small for my needs though!

I'm really looking forward to when as to when 4K TV's become the norm, although I guess that's over a decade away. The demo real I saw on one looked incredible - so good that I guess it's approaching the limits of what you'd notice on a TV that size, even close up.

I have a couple of relatives that work for a well known electrical group Cough* Cough*

They have informed me the decent sized 4K sets are coming down in price very soon

Sub £1000

Not sure about sets 50"+ though

Still not convinced there is actually enough 4K content to justify the purchase... (TV's)

As for monitors, if your running 4K, SLI/Crossfire are almost essential IMO.

Saw a 4k tv demo the other day & very impressed with it, but not the price!
But with anything new give it 6 months and the price will drop.

I still have a 26" crt tv and as long as it works i see no reason to throw it out.
When it does die a nice 32 or 40" led tv will be mine!
