The purchase of this monitor meant I had to upgrade my computer...

So I had to upgraded my video card to make sure I could take full advantage of the 4K format...

Settled on the GEFORCE GTX 1050Ti video card with multiple outputs to run my new 4K monitor via a 60Hz Display Port and my 1080P monitor via the DVI port.

This also required a more powerful power supply (550 Watt) to drive the computer.

Not only is it brighter, the colours are insane. Checked out some 4K material on line (pictures and videos) and I was blown away.

My two sons who are gamers couldn't believe how fantastic the monitor was, one of them telling me it is like life like the picture quality was and that I needed to buy him one ASAP! Well on that, I told him to get a job and then he could buy one himself!

Please excuse the quality of the pictures because they were taken with an iPhone...

    - Racing games are a bit different as you are more focused with where you are going. - Egil; socialism becomes communism 2016-11-27 17:10:36 (124 views)
      - true it's easier to scan a small screen for fps but it's less feeling like virtual reality. - spa 2016-11-27 17:43:55 (93 views)

    - My computer is already tricked out but if I went to a large 4K monitor all bets are off. - Egil; socialism becomes communism 2016-11-26 19:05:20 (157 views)
