1. Do you think 4K for a 32" monitor is enough for using without scaling? Does text/icon are still small?
2. Im using a new 4k monitor as my main and a 1080p one to the right of it. I've had many problems since upgrading. Please make a video about compatibility with two different resolution monitors :)
3. Could you review the Philips 43 inch BDM4350UC 4k Monitor please?
4. hello how much has this list changed in the past year? I mean are these cheap enough now to be more feasible? Do I want G SYNC on a 4k monitor? I am going to get a 1080 Ti and figure 4k is better than 1440 if I will have one of those.
5. u28e590d vs UN40KU6290? THey are both priced at 400 well for the UN40 its actually 380+100GC from newegg any thoughts for a monitor so I can do my video editing and light gamming?
6. In your personal opinion if you were to get a 4k TV and use that do you think I'd need scaling then?
7. +1 well covered. just what I was looking to learn. thanks!
8. the biggest problem ive had by far is all the scaling problems. i know that you can adjust the scale in the display settings but that doesn't always help. there are still many apps that look tacky and smushed its weird.
9. 1:06 what game is that?
10. I'll have an Nvidia 1070GTX soon. I'm on the fence between buying a Omen 32" 1440p (60Hz>75Hz OC, AMD freesync) and a Samsung U28E590DS 28" 4K (60Hz TN - little bit less quality screen). I'm puzzled about the scaling. 4K seems too small text/icons in windows to work with (and too demanding for games such as Star Citizen), but you can effectively quadruple pixels 1080>4K (right?). What happens when you set resolution to 1440p on a 4K monitor? Does it get blurry, can you apply scaling techiques? Does it work different for games (f.i. can I use a form of AA)? If I buy a 1440p monitor, can I upscale/downscale (4k>1440p) making picture crisper? So should I buy Omen 32" 1440p (does it tear at 75Hz?) or Samsung 28" 4K?
11. i see that you are using a DELL next to Asus. which one is that ? if you consider the fact that i will just be coding and not using the monitor for gaming. should i still go with 4K or 1440p(25 or 27) ?
12. I have a question.
    can my laptop(without 4K res) runs with 4k monitor?
13. I decided that my 32'' monitor(Acer Predator XB321HK 32” IPS NVIDIA G-sync) is small. I would like to take Philips BDM4350UC. My question is, is there a sense of change. I play mostly games. Philips don't have G-Sync
14. my 4k looks good with the pc. but things like Steam, Shadow Play, (ECT) looks kind of bad. Why? Please Wight back.
15. tech chap, I plan on also plugging my console into my monitor. I'm looking at getting the Asus 4k or 1440 monitor. Would you say or know that the scaling down to 1080 would look better on the 4k, because of the perfect 2x2, or better on the 1440, because it's just closer to 1080? And how does 1440 scale to 1080 just wondering? Hope to hear back, love the channel!
16. Yeah I don´t get why people whine about not being able to read stuff on the desktop because it´s so small. "Uhh, I can´t see anything, guys you need to get a bigger fucking monitor. Video over." Fucking scale you dumbass.
17. Why does my PS4 pro say I'm getting 3480x2160p @ 60hz on the asus MG24UQ but you're saying I only see 1080p? If I put a 1080p monitor next to it you can definitely see the difference
18. Windows scaling is still a joke, no matter how """""advanced""""" theyve come. I've got a 4k monitor and im running into numerous apps that show me weirdly scaled stuff.
19. Whats the game at 5:25 ??
20. plz make a video how to fix this 3840x2160 resolution for windows 10
