Re: 34 inch monitor
I bought a 40 inch monitor :) The height is good. If it was possible to buy a square monitor I would by one. If you buy a monitor, check if your video card can handle it and at what framerate. I have a gtx 770, in counter strike I have 300 frames a second. But for 4k the monitor framerate drops like a bomb... (o yeah I'm returning the monitor, I prefer 2 monitors instead of 1 big one.) 2015-09-24 4:04 GMT+02:00 Tim Leydecker <bauero...@gmx.de>: > Hi Phil, > > I would advise against consolidating screenspace from 2 displays into just > one display. > > It´s nice to have a 4kish main display if the distance to the screen fits > comfortably > to the sitting position in front of it and there´s enough depth to the > desk but still, > having a second monitor in something of the 24"-27" inch range is a very > pleasant > way to have floating windows, other programs and references in view but > out of the way. > > Personally, I like having a 27" as my main, centered display and at least > some 24" to my left. > > Other´s swear on centering their displays around their viewing axis but I > don´t like looking > at that gap between screens all day, I prefer things wheighted to one side. > > Anything much bigger than 30", I found annoying in the past because I > would either end up > constantly craning my neck around while looking across the screen or I > would squint my eyes > to read small fonts after having pushed the display farther away to reduce > that initial headswinging. > > In a nutshell, i found it really depends on the available desk´s depth for > a comfortable viewing distance. > > It should be deep enough to allow to push the display as far back as > needed to see the whole image at a glance, > fit a Wacom and keyboard inbetween and still let you rest your forearms > comfortably on the desk. > > Cheers, > > tim > > > > > > > > Am 23.09.2015 um 22:21 schrieb Phil Harbath: > > Has anyone used a 34 inch monitor for mostly 3D work, any comments > appreciated. > -- > From: <pete...@skynet.be>pete...@skynet.be > Sent: 9/23/2015 4:11 AM > To: <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>softimage@listproc.autodesk.com > Subject: Re: 3Delight (free) - 8 core restriction and toon renders > > but did you check in task manager to see if there are actually 8 cores > active? > > in my tests with the 8-core restricted version, there were only 4 cores > active as before – and I’ve seen it mentioned here as well.

RE: 34 inch monitor
I'm also interested in a bigger screenspace. Problem is, I don't need just size but also quantity.Not easy for one who wants dual displays and using a wacom tablet. Since wacom tablets using 16:10 and I need that ratio on the screen space as close as it gets. Currently using dual 24" with 1920x1200 each and one in portrait mode. The resulting (virtual) screen space is roughly 16 by ten but if I'd move to 4k displays it would mean rotating one to portrait mode and that would be just too high. I stumbled upon this: http://www.eizo.co.uk/FlexScan-EV2730Q.html Two of these could be ideal for me. Height in inches would be managable on the desk and both of them side by side would be close to 16by ten ratio. (I still prefer two displays over one no matter how big it is). sven From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Phil Harbath Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 10:21 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: 34 inch monitor Has anyone used a 34 inch monitor for mostly 3D work, any comments appreciated.

Re: 34 inch monitor
Hi Phil, I would advise against consolidating screenspace from 2 displays into just one display. It´s nice to have a 4kish main display if the distance to the screen fits comfortably to the sitting position in front of it and there´s enough depth to the desk but still, having a second monitor in something of the 24"-27" inch range is a very pleasant way to have floating windows, other programs and references in view but out of the way. Personally, I like having a 27" as my main, centered display and at least some 24" to my left. Other´s swear on centering their displays around their viewing axis but I don´t like looking at that gap between screens all day, I prefer things wheighted to one side. Anything much bigger than 30", I found annoying in the past because I would either end up constantly craning my neck around while looking across the screen or I would squint my eyes to read small fonts after having pushed the display farther away to reduce that initial headswinging. In a nutshell, i found it really depends on the available desk´s depth for a comfortable viewing distance. It should be deep enough to allow to push the display as far back as needed to see the whole image at a glance, fit a Wacom and keyboard inbetween and still let you rest your forearms comfortably on the desk.
