Default Stars table is 800 x 570 pixels I believe.
Max/full size is 1.6 x the default size.
4K res is 3840 × 2160 pixels.
Do the math and get back to us w/ the answer.
/math homework

Interesting.
What modifications did you need to make for it to work?

Aren't most monitors limited to 1200p via hdmi-inputs, too (as per their specs)?
Not just the hdmi-outputs of laptops/desktops.

Are 30-inchers really so dirty cheap these days?
How's the quality?

I'm tempted to upgrade my 20"+30"+20" setup (20-inchers on the sides in portrait-mode) to a 3x30".
Might be bit of an overkill, tho. Tabletop might not like the weight, either.

IIRC I had to pay 1300-ish € for my very 1st 30-incher Samsung something something in 2007 or 2008.
And 1100-ish € for my current HP ZR30W (bought in 2010 I believe).

paid $2k for my first 30in dell in 2006

They are cheap if you buy the Korean models - whilst they use screens from a batch that was not considered 'A+' it is very difficult to tell the difference in most cases unless you are a bit of a geek about these things.

Also, if you are only using it for poker (and not gaming etc.) the overall quality of the display is not as important as screen size and supported resolution. Things like refresh rates etc. really don't make a blind bit of difference to poker tables/web browsing etc. Whereas for top-end gaming it would be a lot more significant.

I ordered mine from http://www.2560x1440monitor.com/ just so I didn't have to deal with an e-bay seller and can recommend them - they have a good selection of 27" & 30" and delivery to the U.K was very quick considering it came from Korea. They will also show you the price in either £, $ or €.

Interesting.
And promising.

Need to do some more digging wrt quality / customs + taxes I need to pay here in this social utopia.

I´m really no expert in these kinds of things. All I can say, that it obv works with the Dell U2713HM. I just used the patcher below and then created a custom resolution with the Custom Resolution Utility.

Intriguing.

It looks like it's a monitor-specific thing ie one needs to have a monitor w/ HDMI1.4 input/connector.
The newer and more expensive version of Dell U2713HM seems to be good to go via hdmi (assuming your computer and hdmi-cable are also compatible (or hacked via modification like you did).

That´s strange. I´v got the U2713HM and it works as well. Maybe they changed this in the meantime since Dell-Chris posted this more than a year ago.

Ha just windin you up mate, I'm happy with the 27 I picked up and the adjustable stand in itselfs a huge imrovement over my 23" dell I had. Might add a 30 in the coming months from that site posted. I think I got hit with some BS £26 parcel force fees. I checked online, sometimes you can get outta paying it, but so much hassle while they hold onto it. These Korean monitors are the way to go IMO paying £1k for a monitor is too much for only a slight quality increase.

When did you buy yours and how much did you pay for it?

hi , just found few 28" 4K monitors for 700 usd ... has anyone some experience using these for pokar ? thnx in advance ...

given the resolution.. what kind of table structure can you expect

im not sure wherther i should get one of these, the dell 27' 2560x1440 or a 30' dell

what are some differences in table layout.. i know its been posted before, but gets a little confusing re differences 27 v 30

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago on Amazon.de and paid 475€ (approx. 650$). It looks like it got more expensive since then. Today you have to spend 515€.

I'd imagine that text will be unreadable on a 28" @ 4k-res unless you have your nose touching the screen

Try something like 55".

I'm old, tho.
But my vision isn't that bad.
I think I'm right.

Sounds like yours is the newer one then. With a HDMI1.4-input.

yea that 4 K res is just too sick , tables might look very small in that res, but those 4K panels for example samsung U28D590 have to run lover res too.And it costs 750 usd , dont think u get 27 or 30 DEll for that price. Not to mention ULtra HD resolutions is nearly here and in 2 years if tou want to watch something in UltraHD on those dells or other non 4K u just cant.
I was thinking saving some moneyz and purchasing one of those cheaper 30 inch brands like Yamakasi,Crossover or Shimian , but those have only 1 year warranty so rather go for that Samsung. ANd there is 31.5 Samsung U31.5.
WOW those monitros just look too good to purchase 30 or 27 inch ones.
Just watched few reviews from Cnet and in germany they come at the end of april for 659 Eur, which is a sick bargain.Wondering how much would that 31.5 4K Ud970 cost ...

would be good if anyone who is using this 4K for poker could post some review...but i guess those people are just too busy making moneyz and they do not read this kind of stuff.

Just got Parallels running on my iMac 2011 (i5 core with 4gb ram).

Going to increase RAM to 8gb (the limit) and was wondering if anyone would recommend what memory I should buy? Best quality or value for money?

Thanks in advance.

Serially tho. I'd like to see that 32" one in action.
4k$-ish is the rumors. -> http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Featur...-monitors.aspx
But most likely I'll still wait until 35"-40" (or even bigger) 4K-res monitors are out (and reasonably priced).

This seems to be the problem with my current cheapish desktop. It's not smooth at all with my huge HM2 database running and multi tabling. It can be the most tilting thing ever when it starts freezing for x amount of secs every other hand.

I'm looking to buy a nice laptop this week. 98% of its purpose will be poker related, so I want to make sure it can handle a big database along with a lot of multi tabling and other various poker software. I will occasionally use Skype or listen to youtube etc. but that is pretty much it.

With all that in mind, what amount of GB's SSD would you recommend for this? Is there not any highly recommended laptops that comes set with an ideal SSD and high resolution for poker?

Any other specs I should be following closely when looking for a laptop for this intended use. No budget minimum, but I don't want to overpay for a laptop where some of the features I don't need or will never use.

edit- Also how difficult would it be buy an SSD and have it installed to my Dell desktop tower that I've had for a few years now.

Thanks a bunch.

is there a consensus GOAT antivirus?

you can ignore my other post. I answered all of my questions by just reading a lil more of the thread haha. go figure

Think I'm going to get this.

HP ENVY 17" TouchSmart Laptop - Silver (Intel Core i7 4700MQ / 1TB HDD / 16GB RAM / Windows 8.1) 1920 x 1080 resolution

Then get a 256GB SSD and have it swapped in.

Downside is it only has hdmi or vga outlets, but I think with that screen size and resolution I can manage without any additional monitors. I already have a desktop with 30incher when I'm not traveling anyway. I need to get an SSD put into that too though.

http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memor...1/DDR3_21.5_27

Found this site that sells ram for Macs. Anyone used it/recommend anything? Was looking at the 16gb for my mid-2011 27".

I have parallels running with pt4 and about 6 sites + TN2. So 16gb should be plenty.

paid £1100~ for my Dell 30" and last year picked up a korean Crossover 30" for $350 with no dead pixels, i actually prefer the picture to the dell.

on a different topic;

Is there a small (13"~) ultrabook type laptop out that i can run 2x30"(2560x1600) and 1x20"(1600x1200) from?

I have this, with a 256gb SSD swapped in, i really like it and can run everything/see everything smoothly and perfectly for up to 12 tables tiled

hey,

i am not sure if already discussed before or not, if yes please direct me then.

how are those 4k resolution monitors ( especially the Asus PQ321QE 21.4 inch with 3840/ 2160 resolution ) for online poker?

i got an i7 4930k CPU and thinking of buying a gtx780 ti or a MSI r9 290x lighting. Single GPu is enough there?

does it really make a difference for online poker, cause i am sitting fu...... everyday in front of a monitor.

right now i got 2 Asus vk266H 24 inch monitors , but i got neck problems as i spread the tables across both and no more free space for the lobby (bumhunting :-) )

worth the money to spend ?
