I really like it because I have so much screen real estate for multiple windows or large spreadsheets, or I can scoot back a little bit for gaming (so I don't have to turn my head to see everything) and enjoy the higher resolution. My 40" 4k at 2' fills my entire field of view. So I ask, are there any soylentils with perfect vision and/or a super high resolution set up, and does this match where you can no longer discern individual pixels? Do you think retina resolution needs to match the Fovea Centralis or is a lesser value acceptable? But this tiny portion of the eye is processed by 50% of the visual cortex of the brain. Now the Fovea Centralis comprises only the size of 2 thumbnails width at arms length (2° viewing angle) and the eye's resolution drops off quickly farther from the center. At this resolution, a 4k monitor would need to be only 16" at a 2' viewing distance, or my 40" would need a 5' viewing distance. I did some research and according to Wikipedia the Fovea Centralis (center of the eye) has a resolution of 31.5 arc seconds. I'm still able to see individual pixels until I get to about a 4' viewing distance (but I am nearsighted). While this is right at the threshold where I'm told no benefit can be gained from additional resolution, I can still easily discern individual pixels.

I recently bought a 40" 4k tv which I use as a monitor (2' viewing distance). The top google hits say that there is little or no benefit to resolution above 4k. Here's a chance to brag a bit about your rig!Īnd, of course, please share any horror stories and/or triumphs, too! I know there are some gamers on the site, as well. Does anyone here have experience with that kind of setup? What OS do you use? What graphics card? What monitors and resolutions do you run? I'd like it to be compatible with some flavor of Linux or *BSD, preferably without systemd. I'd like at least 1920x1200 across 3 screens, though I'd not mind it if I could afford 3 x 4K screens. Some time down the road, though, I'd like to get a new computer and am thinking about a multi-monitor setup. I do not do any gaming, so I don't need the latest graphic card/monitor. Instead of using the built-in laptop display, I have a several-year-old Gateway monitor with 1920x1200 resolution 59Hz and 32-bit color.

(If you have multiple systems, feel free to enumerate each setup.)įor example, I run Win 7 Pro on a Dell laptop which has a Mobile Intel Core 2 P8700 Duo processor and which sports NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M graphics. It's been a while since we ran a story about some facet of people's home computer systems and I got to wondering what kind of monitor setup other Soylentils have at home.
