4K UHD Monitor

[Daiwilletti]

... anybody got one, tried it with CFS3 and maybe Ankors new shaders? I saw a big monitor 4K UHD marked down the other day and was sorely tempted to try it - was so darn big (this is a monitor not a TV) that it could barely fit under the shelf above my desk.

Surely someone in SOH land has tried this?
I tried a search on the forums but query wasn't well framed got dozens of pages of threads on other things like "monitor"

If only I knew what a 4k uhd monitor was David, you may as well be talking Dalek!

Lol, there is so much tech geek literature out there and so little time to read it! UHD is ultra high definition. So a 40" UHD monitor has the equivalent number of pixels as 4 full HD (FHD) monitors. I am hoping that one big UHD monitor would do the same job as several monitors stacked side by side. It could be a neater solution. Then I could see the instruments and the main field of view without using the toggle/hat on my joystick.

Inevitably the price will come down, but I've already seen a Philips 40" UHD monitor for around 400 of your quid Clive (still too rich for me). Not a top end in terms of refresh rate so probably not good enough for gaming.

So I'm hoping someone else will have paid the early adopter price and can report back.....
