My New 4K monitor

After a week using the monitor I have absolutely no regrets. The price was right but over-all quality is the main sales point. So much better processing 4K on a real 4K monitor. The detail is incredible compared to the HD monitors I was using.

Great to hear. Processing a lot right now and besides the tired eyes, I'm wishing two things: That I could see the files I'm making in their splendiferous glory (or not) and that I could actually play the 4K files I am making smoothly (which is one reason it's useful to have to render out an HD version for every 4K file so P5 buyers can have a choice), but I can't proof my own work, which bugs me.

Just to make sure though - that monitor is not making your stuff look better than it really is, right? That's one of my biggest fears.

"that monitor is not making your stuff look better than it really is, right?"

Extreme naughty... ;)

Heck I dunno ... it looks better than on the HD monitor in every factor. Ya I guess like a great camera makes great footage, a great monitor helps display it ;) I can use all the help I can get to make footage look and sell better LOL. Problem is I'm finding with this monitor I'm actually making less color / contrast etc corrections because it looks so darn great straight from the AX-100.

Hi Rekindle,
"I'm running it with a Dell XPS , Win 8.1, i-7 4.0 Ghz, 24 Gb Ram and the video card is AMD Radeon HD R9 270. I'm running dual monitors with the 4K monitor and another 28 inch Samsung 1920x1080 monitor. The system is driving everything just fine with no lag or jerks."

I was just wondering, you seem to have good system specs, except for the AMD video card? Why no Nvidia so you can have all the Cuda realtime benefits? A 2 to 3 GB vram Nvidia GPU card can be bought already for less than $200, so do you have any special reason for not adding this to your workstation? Just curious. I upgraded from an AMD GPU to Nvidia Cuda card half a year ago and noticed a big jump in performance with editing in PPRO and output rendering as well. But I am just starting in this field.

Main reason is that it is the one that came with it. So far I can render HD and 4K in almost real time. I'm absolutely sure you are right, just have not seen the need yet. If things do slow down then the R9 will be gone. Agreed there are a lot of cards much better and not too high of a price.

Ah I see, thank you. I like to do a lot of extensive "artistic" editing, many times completely pulling the original footage into something new, and then when using a lot of effects I really saw the difference in the real time playback speed & quality that the Cuda-Nvidia card gave. But this can also be related due to the fact that I am new in this field, and just love to try out each effect, slider and button that PPRO, After Effects and SpeedGrade give me!
You have a nice diversified portfolio!
Thank you and greetz,
