Yes, there are advantages to any new technology, but the question is whether those advantages are "needed" at the premium price of being an early adopter? If you're trying to control costs and be practical, the answer is usually no. Waiting a little bit and buying when the price comes down is often a better use of money.
I would love to have a new fangled computer with 10 processors each with 100 cores and multiple graphics cards with SLI linkage and VR everything, but do I need it? no. My 10 year old computer still functions just fine for my purposes. In some ways, it's better as it exposes bottlenecks in my code more readily than a faster computer which is so much more efficient it effectively masks the problems I need to find and eradicate. Not saying don't buy a 4K monitor. Just saying it isn't needed for the purpose given.

Well actually 4k monitor does have it's advantages. Nice big viewport where you can see all those details better is already a plus, but having extra space to fire up graph editor and maybe some GUI controls if they are available.. it helps. Honestly I wouldn't go back to smaller... As a matter of fact I'm even thinking about waiting for cintiq 32 inch 4k to move to that. But need to figure out if it is worth all the cache :) On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 12:00 PM, Matt Lind <[email protected]> wrote: > Animators generally don't need 4K monitors as they mostly work in > wireframe > or shaded mode only care about broad details such as feet penetrating the > floor.
