No, shit. I never would have guessed that. 15:57 < xray> LoL 15:59 < xray> I recently moved from using a desktop with multiple monitors to a laptop as my primary system. I wanted to have multiple monitors. I looked into all the ways of doing that and the only reliable solution was to use an external 4K monitor. 16:00 < xray> Not all apps play well with scaling so it is better if you can leave it off. 16:01 <@Mirage> I have 3 24" monitors on my desk. Sometimes I have all 3 active on my main workstation, depending on what I'm doing, but normally have one of them connected to either a secondary gaming box (when I'm dual-boxing a game) or my work laptop 16:02 < xray> TV manufacturers started adding PC/Gaming modes and supporting 4:4:4 chroma. 16:03 <@Mirage> on a tangent...fuck 10-bit encoded video 16:03 < xray> This has enough resolution to be used as a monitor. So at 55" you don't have to use scaling. 16:04 < xray> It cost me $100 more for a 55" 4K TV with the right specs as it did for a traditional 27" 1080P monitor. 16:04 < xray> I have been using it for about 2 weeks and it rocks. 16:06 <@Mirage> at work in the old "command center" they had 60" TVs instead of 40" monitors because the picture was just as good but the TVs were waaaaaaay cheaper even if they most likely wouldn't last as long running 24x7, so they went with the TVs 16:30 -!- skiboy [skiboy@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/skiboy] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 16:37 -!- strages [uid11297@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-funkvmfjadlqnwpx] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 16:57 < K`Tetch> i'm tempted to start gonig with TVs butr right now i found some decent monitors at goodwill for $15 each 16:57 < K`Tetch> so a 1600x1200 dell 20" some regular just-under 1080 widescreens 16:58 < K`Tetch> if they only last a year before the light goes out - fuck it, it was $15 17:12 -!- skiboy [skiboy@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/skiboy] has joined #se2600 17:28 -!- skiboy [skiboy@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/skiboy] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 19:37 -!- skiboy [skiboy@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/skiboy] has joined #se2600 --- Log closed Sun Aug 25 00:00:49 2019
