Dave, I blame you entirely. I got the monitor (Samsung 4K) and have mixed results. It's entirely dependant on what your graphics card can do. When I plug it into my desktop (sporting a GTX690) it only seems to support 2560x1440. That said there is a box to enter a custom res which I can select 3840x2160 @ 30hz. It won't go higher (which I think is normal see note following regarding QuadHD laptop). It works but it seems somewhat blurry. I'm not sure yet if I will use it at higher res or drop back to the one it wants to use. It seems way crisper/sharper at that. If I go that route then its an expensive Ultra monitor. (which is future proof when my graphics cards catch up).
I did plug in my Samsung Book 9 plus which is QuadHD (on the laptop) and the output looked fantastic. So there's nothing wrong with the monitor. The laptop (using mini hdmi or whatever it is, a strange small connector) to HDMI did 3840x2160 @ 30hz and looked crisp and clear. I may end up putting my 30inch back in the middle (which is amazingly much larger considering 28 vs 30 is only 2") and using the new samsung 4K monitor as second screen for my laptop. (I usually RDP to my laptops to get 4 screen support anyway so... ahhhhhh) So my take on this, if you have a new machine with Haswell chipset then I'd say go for it. Anything else and you may well be dissapointed (although it might trigger further graphics card upgrades which is always good haha) Stephen (your friendly neighbourhood Guinea Pig) On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 7:42 PM, Dave Walker <rangitat...@gmail.com> wrote: > Do you need some enabling? > > You should buy one Stephen.
