@h9826790 hay what is it like to edit video on a curved display iv seen reviews where people complain the curve makes strait lines look bent, is it just hot air or an actual problem ?
also do you calibrate the display? dose the curve make the puck device not sit fat on the display? (so it wont calibrate correctly)
looks like a super nice display kind of coming to the time where im getting the itch to upgrade myself
ps i think the 8gb cards are slightly faster than the 4gb cards as the vram is faster or something, might not mater much tho
Even though I personally don't feel it's a series problem. But you are correct, it's a bit hard to tell what is real straight line now by just eyeballing. However, I rarely need to confirm if there is any straight line solely by my feeling during video editing. e.g. If we adding some effect, we know that's a straight line, Then no matter how it looks, my brain already told me it's a straight line. All I need to check is if I like the actual effect on the final product.
Of course, compare to flat monitor, the perspective changed a bit. But I personally won't consider it will affect my judgement. In general, we know what is the straight lines on inside a video. If in doubt, it's so easy to make a straight line on a computer for assistant.
TBH, the only time I really notice the monitor is curved is when I move a Window across the monitor. It really looks like a paper sliding on a cylinder. And I found that for this kind of ultra wide monitor. The curve is actually needed to make it looks "normal". Otherwise, the edge is really too far away, and the viewing angle is too shallow, which looks more strange than a bit curve right in front of me. It's a bit like when you have 3 monitor setup. You will intentionally make the 2 side monitor facing you, but not make all 3 on the same line like a wall.
Yes, I use Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate it. The curve is not a problem at all, the suction cup can still do its job. Anyway, I did some test for this tool. Even it can't "stick" to the monitor, as long as the ambient light is not very strong and pointing to the sensor. It virtually won't affect the calibration. In fact, you may also switch off all the lights when calibrating it (after the sensor real the ambient brightness) to make sure no light "leak" into the gap during calibration.
I am sure there will be more ultra wide monitor coming. This is just the 1st gen product, expensive, and not really top of the line (e.g. not OLED). But I really can't wait. It's really time to let my 27" ACD step down.
And now is time to choose a new GPU. Yes, I agree that 8GB card is better. In fact, I can easily hit the 4GB limit when run some games. Because I occasionally gaming on this machine. I tends to pick the GTX 1080 or Vega more than RX580. I know RX580 has best support at this moment, but nowhere near a high end card. Vega perform better but may draw too much power on a cMP. 1080 perform the best but not OOTB in Mac....
