My little corner of solitude
View attachment 675048

STILL the very BEST Star Wars movie EVER! THAT is when they made Darth Vader strikingly EVIL and terrifying (the man NOT to be messed with).

Hmmm ... nice choice of words ... 'solitude' almost made me think of castle/house of solitude and recall Superman (original) ... Hoth, ice, solitude.

Nice poster.
I used to have all the original trilogy posters on my wall. Then I got married!

^ time for divorce!
Go check that thread out on that teen having the girl he likes wanting to try watching star wars (seems like history may repeat itself ... save HIM from your mistake SAVE the REBELLION!!!)
ps: I haven't read that thread myself but if that guys gf will make him sell his posters ... you know what to do (sweep the leg). so he can duck her.

I'm kidding, partially. ;)

My wife watches SW, just doesn't want posters in the house. In fact I picked up midnight opening night tickets for Rouge One for the two of us yesterday.

Right on!!

Rogue One looks like it's going to bring back the awesome into the saga that was left off by Empire (saw that when I was 13 opening night with my pops).

I better get tickets as well.

Question, I used the "Scaled" option in OS X as having the display at 3840x2160 the GUI bars and text were too small for my liking....or atleast a culture shock for me.

However when I "Scaled" the resolution to 2560x1440 it is a sweet spot for GUI size and text size. It also looks no different in picture quality than the 3840x2160.

So I'm confused...am I not at 4K anymore?

When I even go into "About this Mac" and look under display it shows the external display shows it at "2560x1440" as if it is not making use of having this 4K monitor.

Sorry for my lack of competence with this stuff, someone help me out.

It's still using all of your pixels, it's simply not doing a 1:1 representation. This keeps the sizes actually readable while also keeping the sharpness of the image.
 
So here is a cool idea. Post your setup!

How CLEAN can you get it looking?

Here is mine.

How do you like the LG display? Is it a 4K display or 1080p?

1/10. Too much wood paneling in the background. Also, questionable news channel.

Fox News is the best news. We don't have a similar station up here in Canada. It's all liberal crap.
 
Nice setup but don't you get a crick in your neck from having the monitor up so high? I had a 24" iMac and had to mount it to a monitor arm so I could lower it because the stock stand was too high.

Have got my desk chair adjusted for it so doesn't cause any issues

Just got a USB-C to DP for my new mbp 13. Hardly used a dongle unless I go for presentation using projector with HDMI, and weekly backup for time machine in ext hdd
