While you may enjoy your tv it is far from ideal for a number of reasons. a 50 inch screen needs to be 4-5 feet away from you for ideal viewing gives you about the same angle of view (and thus visual resolution) as a 32 inch monitor at 2 feet or a 27 inch monitor at 18". Those numbers are for 4K - for 1080p you can go to 2/3 of those distances.
In addition - a tv is a lousy monitor compared to quality dedicated monitors. Color gamut is very limited as it only has to do TV (8 bit) and not HQ color (12 or 14 bit)

Your post shows that you do not understand a word of what I was saying and I guess that's my fault for not explaining it properly.

When I am doing computer work on my Samsung Q6, I usually focus on the window that is in focus. That window is only a small part of the 4K display. I have many other windows opened on this screen and I can see them just by looking at them and can continue typing in the window in focus.

Using a 4K monitor is very much like having 4 HD monitors in front of you in two rows. Just think of it that way. But instead of have 4 connectors, 4 power supplies, 4 stands, 4 bexels, etc. you only have one and it's seamless.

If I want to watch a movie or a TV program, I switch to that input and push away from my desk to enjoy the whole view.

I feel your pain - week long (from arrival to tear down) trade shows, days that start at 5 and end at 11, and a dozen hours per day standing on a hard coliseum floor are the stuff of nightmares. You just reminded me how glad I am to be retired.


I will be in a booth talking about riflescopes. I am not in the industry, but I am a long-time long range competitive shooter with a few medals and a passion for optics that started with cameras in the 1960 and carried over to sports optics. I'm doing this as a favor to a friend.

I did computer industry shows for 30+ years as a vendor and I know only too well about the long hours. Thankfully, I don't do the setup or tear down for this show.

If anyone is going, PM me and maybe you can stop by the booth and visit.

I was just explaining that you were a liar, is all.

And yes, the coup has failed and the cabal is being exposed. It will take time, but it will be interesting to watch.

Thanks for the compliment - I’m not especially tall and sit in a regular office chair (and I wear progressives to boot) so I just can’t go bigger, but I have seen 4K content on a large 4K monitor, and it is very nice.


It's not a compliment, it's just a statement of fact. It's always fun reading posts from a knowledgeable person.

I own my own company so I buy the chairs and the equipment I want. These are business expenses because this is what I do for a living.

He's already shot down ma Pelosi several times. And Sandy Ocasional Cortex is a know nothing lightweight.

And PDJT is an equal opportunity insulter; nobody is safe.

There are many people here who share that interest. This is why I was cryptic; figuring knowledgeable people would know.

Personally (and this is just my opinion), I prefer multiple 27” (or whatever size you choose) monitors over one large monitor. The reason for me is simple. Assuming you place the monitor on a standard desk top, I find it tiring to my neck constantly looking up to use the upper part of a large screen - I prefer my display centers to be at eye level and relatively close. In fact, I actually use 3 monitors arranged horizontally (two driven from my video card and one from the MB onboard graphics). I typically have PS in the middle for critical editing, one for the various tools menus and one for DPP to sort through exposures and export into PS. All this fits nicely on a standard desk with the side monitors angled in maybe 15 degrees. Although I calibrate all, only the one used for editing needs to be higher quality. Just some alternate ideas.

Now, as desert gecko has said, it is not hard to assemble a desktop from parts, and you can build a high performance editing platform for maybe $1300 plus the cost of the monitor. You need an I7 CPU, 16-32 GB DRAM, a decent video card with 2GB (min) VRAM, a decent MB, an SSD for OS and Apps, a Larger SATA for photos, 64 bit OS, power supply, case, keyboard and mouse, and maybe a DVD (BluRay/MDisk preferred) drive. You can assemble it in an hour or two, and add a few more to install the OS and aps. You can save $, learn a fair amount in the process, and have some fun and a sense of accomplishment.

As usual TriX posts excellent information.

The arrangement on my desk is similar to his. I also use three monitors with my laptop. On my left, the laptop panel is open and useable. It's a 17inch HD display and the laptop is at an angle about 45 degrees.

In front of me is my 49 inch 4K Samsung Q6 and it's on a very low stand. I sit in a rather tall chair, because I am quite tall.

On my right, I have another monitor, a 24 inch 2K display and it also angles in at about 45 degrees.

The way I work is that I have email open on the right at all times, I do most of my work on the Samsung Q6 in front of me and I don't have to crank my neck to see the top of the screen. I have a couple of status windows on the laptop panel on my left.

This all fits very nicely on a standard desk. I do just about everything on the computer.

No, in this case, you may well be right. Terrible gun handling, though. He's breaking rule #2. But if you're right, he's looking to break other "rules."

Oh, and by the way. The revolver in the picture would never fire regardless of how much he squeezed the trigger. It's a single-action revolver.
