It is essentially that. I can find screens that are 2560x1440 on the net for decent pricing, and a controller board and you have yourself a diy high-res monitor for ~$450. (note: NOT 4K) The only place that's got any competition right now are the smartphone screen providers. If it were price per pixel, the 4k monitor i drooled over a few pages ago would be outrageous if the same price-per-pixel made its way into phone land. The past 2 years have been the industry orgasm-ing over HDTVs and it's only now that it's starting to fade. The size of the 23" monitor i bought on black friday fits me JUST fine, despite desperately wanting 4k res.

But also, that Dell is for artists and extreme enthusiasts like Freelancer who spends $5,500 per computer. It supports adobe RGB and sRGB color ranges, so that's also a part of the reason for the increase in price. (note that the lag is 8ms, which may create a ghosting effect while gaming due to the enhanced color precision)

You know, my monitor is also supposedly 6 ms GTG with 12 ms typical, 16 ms tested by Anand. If it's ghosting, I'm usually too busy having fun or oogling at the visuals to care. A bigger issue is the input lag that results when you enable VSYNC. In Battlefield, it's enough to get you killed.

You can get non-DIY 2560x1440 screens for less than that. For example, this.

Look for some (probably non-critical) suspicious events right before the critical one. Is your computer running hot? HWMonitor should give an answer.

[Bodzilla]

nope.

It was a while back because i had a warped fucked CPU heatsink and fan, but i now run a MASSIVE cpu fan, which keeps it at 35 degrees under load.

That's what I'm talking about. I always equated the ms with response time between updates with hertz/refresh

My old samsung syncmaster had an advertised 75 hertz refresh rate, but when we went to the full Rez of the monitor of 1900x1200 it would drop to 60. False advertisement, or misleading, rather.

What sucks about all of this, is that 4k monitors in less than 27" screens are only making a comeback JUST NOW those monitors are $1,200 on eBay currently, and were released in 2001. TWO THOUSAND AND ONE. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE 4K monitors for 12 FREAKING YEARS. IM PISSED.

And what did you want to do with 4k Monitors in 2001? Watch a DVD? Play a game with your GeForce 8600 GT? ^^

I cannot understand why you one want right now either. In the future maybe yes but now?

There were no 8600 GTs in 2001. Radeon 9800 Pro and Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra were in vogue, though.
