Which screen is that? I want it!

Philips BDM4065. That was my exact reaction when I first saw it!

Do you happen to know the ppi? Also, is it IPS?

It's roughly the same as a 27" 1440, as it's 4k. And it's VA. Sadly not brilliant for colour correct stuff. Been looking for a new monitor for a while, this one's high on my list but I need colour correct.

It's not a perfect screen, but for my usage it is awesome. The other downside is the stand has no adjustment at all, so I might have to get a VESA mount for it, as it is a bit high.

Sold the Mac's and now have a PC Setup + Cinema Display. Looking to get another 20' or 23' Cinema Display as they are now cheap and still have great picture quality.

Desktop is a Custom CyberPowerPC
3.5GHz 6-Core AMD FX, 8GB RAM, 240GB Crucial SSD & 500GB Toshiba, nVidia GT 720 (1GB), Corsair 500W PSU,

ASUS Laptop is pretty basic, 1.7GHz Intel i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, Intel 4400 Graphics

What kinda of tablet stand is that?

NEC and Eizo both have a 4k wide colour gamut monitor out for colour acurate work.

Picked up a used 27" TBD for my bedroom office, I actually prefer something in the 24" size for my room but there's not much options for my 13" macbook pro.

Here's the before...

And now.. Installed new lighting fixture to spotlight so I can ditch my table desk for cleaner desk surface...
Planning to upgrade the table legs with some DIY piping since the ikea legs are not sturdy at all..

Does it bother you using such a large display so close?

 

[Skylitfly]

My setup for now. Hope you like it.

Love it. Where did you get those speakers? And did you modify the Apple wireless keyboard? The keys look silver instead of white?

Lovely setup, how do you turn on your Mac if it's in clamshell mode? Does the Mac have to be in a permanent standby?

I noticed if keep connected my MacBook to my screens via the two thunderbolt ports it gets really hot even if it's sleeping. Probably, because the dedicated GPU has to stay active?

Nothing at ikea is sturdy! Beautiful set up tho

make a desk out of their kitchen counter tops nailed to some of there oak cabinets...or just buy one of there dining tables...all 100x better options than any of there desk offerings.

 

[RobotJon]

Both Dell U2515H...

I've just got the U2415 Dell monitors - did your displays preferences ID them as televisions? Mine seems to be on RGB for the display port output and YPbPr for the HDMI output. I'm wondering how to correct this?

I don't think so. I am away at the moment but can check tomorrow.
