Man, windows scaling on a 4k monitor is bad at the best of times but when the whole thing is only 24 inches diagonal everything is gonna be tiny or fuzzy.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

I've been thinking about buying one of those 4k dells and as far as my work laptop goes I'll probably just output 1080p to it because I don't even know if the hp they gave me can do 4k

I have a thing for courageous dongles

pretty much anything today can do 4k desktop stuff so long as it has displayport or hdmi 1.3

older hdmi puts you at 30hz which is shiiiiiiit

I thought 60hz 4k requires hdmi 2

1.4, mixed it up in my head

HDMI 1.4 added support for 4K × 2K, i.e. 4096×2160 at 24 Hz (which is a resolution used with digital theaters), 3840×2160 (Ultra HD) at 24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz, and support for 1080p at 120 Hz.


looks like 30 hz to me

My workplace has been rolling out Windows 10 since the start of the year, especially since MS won't update CPU drivers for any of the newer Intel CPUs for Windows 7.

looking at other companies we do work w/ in the healthcare industry the providers are still on xp/7 and the insurers/ehrs are on 10 or moving to 10.

are they actually providing an update path for existing users? mine is distributing windows 10 on new machines but if it shipped with 7 there is no upgrade path, so some people will be waiting until 2020.

we've still got win 7 but it's all on older computers. we actually have a refresh cycle here so we're just buying new computers with win10 and eventually there won't be win7 computers left.
