get a used or refurb wacom, then if you actually use it [99% of people don't use them much at all] invest in a better wacom

4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal resolution in the order of 3840 (or 4096) pixels and vertical resolution in the order of 2160 pixels.[1] Several 4K resolutions exist in the fields of digital television and digital cinematography. In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is the dominant 4K standard. In television and consumer media, 4K UHD or UHD-1 is the dominant 4K standard.

"3.84k" performed horribly in market testing

back in the days when people still used cordless phones the phone companies made a huge deal out of moving from 2.4 ghz to 5.8 ghz frequency phones then when the vastly superior DECT came out since it was "only" 1.9 ghz they changed the name of the entire standard to "DECT 6.0" because then people would believe it was better than 5.8

what's a halfway decent 4K TV for under 1 grand

I would like 55" but could go smaller I guess

maybe the vizio M55-E0 [make sure you get this years model or else you get an android tablet instead of a remote]

if you could go smaller the sony 49x900e is like $1100 and pretty good

simple fact is that if you want a good tv in tyool 2017 you have to buy a 4k one there's a few decent 1080p models left but they have worse brightness, contrast and processing than 4k models

Just keep in mind anything under 1000 nits is not considered HDR, and anything under 650 is not HDR for oled because special reasons

you seem to be confusing branded hdr standard dolby vision with the entire concept of increased dynamic range, it's a common mistake

so Vizio is still killing it, huh

I think they're more "acceptable but super cheap"-ing it

this years samsungs are all edge lit, if you want to get something better than vizio you should either get a sony x900e or above [but not the 930e] or an lg oled

currently the bda recommends 1000 nits only for speculator highlights or other small areas and only for a brief time but that's assuming a light-controlled room so a tv in a sunny living room will need to be way super bright

quote:

BDA Authoring Guideline for HDR Content will be prepared to include the following recommendation text: �Maximum Frame Average
Light Level� not to exceed 400nits. Over 1000 nits should be limited to specular highlights which are expected to be a small
percentage of the picture area.

when dolby did the original vision presentation at ces a few years back they had to dial their crazy laser projector down after the first day because people were like running into things on the way out

400 nits average light level of a display is just STUPID, you better have died in the movie and just woke up from a coma, and are in the jonny ive white room in a horror film for that poo poo to occur.

as a bonus we found that an A/V receiver from a manufacturer of very expensive speakers is totally broken. It claims to support HDR and does not, and in fact violates the HDMI specification in a few important areas

I am not looking forward to buying a new receiver, my current one has been a champ and even the really expensive new ones I'm looking at all have something stupid about them like a giant remote with 200 buttons or only 3 hdmi inputs [srsly] and every single one lies about the amp rating

same but we got some cheap piece of crap 75 inch for <$2000, but it's 10000x better than the terrible projector we had before and it does the job

nothing like hosting a design review on a 1024 x 768 projector with permanent yellow cast because the capital depreciation plan says spending $1000 for a new one is impossible even though the company makes a billion dollars a month

same place also had a bunch of rectangular pixel 768p plasmas we couldn't replace because they'd been there for "only" 8 years and were really expensive when new

sounds like someone should have """accidentally""" tripped and bashed some of that equipment

yeah, I don't know how it happened but someone spilled coffee in the ceiling mounted projector and we're going to need a new one

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

if you have to use windows just get 1080p, it will save a you a lot of trouble but also money which you can use to invest in a proper computer hth

this is my work computer, I would never use windows by choice but I work from home 1-2 days a week so it's a factor

do you people byo personal laptops and let your work manage them or something lol
