Due to changing circumstance (reduced sq. footage)My 60 in.is being replaced by a 43 in.
The upside is the 4k jump in resolution. I get in on my Roku, not on my computer.

My Nvida doesn't offer it. 1920X1080 is as high as it goes.Is it possible my card can't cut it?

GeForce GTX 670 FTW
 
If you are using HDMI, then 1080p (or maybe WUXGA, 1920x1200) is all you're going to get unless you have HDMI 1.3. Even then, you'll only get 2560x1600.

To get UHD (3840x2160), you'll need either multiple DVI links or a Display Port link (depending on the monitor setup). All the monitors I've used at UHD have Display Port.
 
Hmmmm. My model is here:

Would you please take a look and work up a plan for me to do this...if possible.

This is a $300.00 set at walmart...May God forgive me, we had little choice as to where we could get to in order to buy buy.

Cheapest set with 4K we could find...so who knows what I may be able to fail at doing":O}

Yeah, HDMI.

I'm willing to go to a reasonable amount of trouble to get this done...if you have the time my friend, There's no blood loss here so if your busy I can go it alone.

A further complication is perhaps my Denon. I'm using it as my switching hub.
It offers me several more ports 4K and not so 4K

It two is a cheepo. Denon AVR S500BT Here's the most helpful thing I could find on it.

Your going to be just so happy for me! ":O}
And I'm just so happy for you...you got your week-end back!!

Setting up to use my 5.2 receiver to handle all my inputs and switching

I was getting the infamous "HCP, not HDMI 2.2 and having my Monitor go green (I mean Green in the BIOS,
in MY bios for God's sake!!
Green in my CloneZillia as I tried to get back my settings...Half way thorough my "Restore" my monitor came to it's senses.

So weary as hell of trying to work around this "cable issue" I decide to pull all my inputs and return to using My Hisence TV as the switcher, Computer and Roku went 3840X2160

I saw a cripple leaning on his crutch and he called out to me
"Why must you ask for so much."

I saw a woman leaning out her door
"hey why not ask for more."

I guess we know who won that argument.":O}

Chris my man, we are living in a new world!
I got these settings simply by asking Nvidia for them,
Tell me this is really real! LOL

Do you have multiple monitors?

Mosaic is an nVidia extension that allows you to 'tile' your display onto multiple monitors, if I understand things correctly. If you've only the one monitor then there's no point.
 
Thanks can barely fit one monitor.
Howsabout "rotation and reflection"

I can't think why anyone would use multiple monitors anymore, We can buy monitors in all shapes and sizes, Expand my knowledge!
 
Rotation is useful if you turn your monitor on its side. This is referred to a 'page view' and is particularly useful if you are viewing rendered documents, such as in desktop publishing.

Reflection is less useful, but comes in handy when you have a need to mount a monitor in a mirror, such as in a projection display.

As for multiple monitors, hard-core gamers like them for games which support it as it can provide a more immersive environment. Beyond that, I find having 2 or even 3 monitors to be very helpful for my work, as I routinely work with multiple virtual machines and large amounts of data (I just bought a 32 GB RAM upgrade for my laptop because 16 GB just isn't enough any more).
 
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a 60" and work space your way though your busy busy day?
I guess there's a lot to be said not to have keep flipping back and forth between work spaces,


I'll allow it.LOL

As always thank you Gizmo.
 
I have reached the point where free choice can be entered into..As the I-Ching would say...

Am I better off at 4096 @ 30 hz
or 3820 @ 60hz or by the bit or auto?

Nvidia settings have always been a bit arcane for me to grasp.":O}

Click to expand...


What makes you think I don't use work spaces? LOL

That's one of the MANY reasons I love Linux!
 
Yeah yeah, but is it 30 or 60?
No offense George but I'm not getting off the highest rez of my sweet short life unless Gizmo makes me!! LOL
 
There is cause for doubt. While nvidia offers this setting and seems perfectly fine;
It doewsn't hold the setting in a reboot. As it does hold all other settings...it's has me wondering if I should really do this. And yes George 30hz does seem under par.
 
I'm way to lazy to reset the Rez every-time re- boot. So probably going to let this pass.
 
With HDMI 1.4 you can get 4K, but only 30 Hz. That's all the bandwidth you have available on the cable.

As for the 'mirror' mode, I was mistaken in my earlier description. 'Mirror' allows you to show the exact same thing on multiple displays. This is useful when you have multiple displays scattered around in a building (think sales presentations or information displays) and you want them all showing the same stuff.
