Anyways: 4k screen?

It sure is, the most cheap AOC display there was €499. i'm really happy with it, but everything is kind of small..
First i had it running at max 30Hz witch is really bad. now i got it at 40Hz which is nice.

not sure if my GPU can handle it that good, i have integrated graphics "Intel HD 3000",
on my newer laptop i can't get the 165Mhz pixel clock cap off.. so it does not support this resolution

The native resolution is a little small, but if i put it in 1080p HiDPi it is just to big (but really sharp).
I was trying to set it in 1440p HiDPi (because that is a nice resolution) and then scale it down to UHD, but my Graphics card is not willing to give me 5120x2880, but it would probably look really good.

For now i see it as a good investment, do you guys think about getting a 4k monitor?

I tested it with Half Life 2: Lost Coast, on 4k with all setting on low (V-Sync off) and my HD3000 got about 12FPS on the stress test.



funny is i waited 30days for this monitor, and when i didn't get it then i bought it somewhere else and got it in 22h shiped to the door (DON'T BUY AT ALTERNATE) <--- Bad Store!

You can probably use xrandr to force your display to a certain resolution. I used newrez (which is using xrandr) to set my netbook's resolution to 1344x752, which is not really standard.

As you said, everything is too small so I don't really see the point of buying a 4K monitor to set its resolution to 1080p, which is what I would do if I got one

Fun fun fun.

Spoiler For Spoiler:

WTF pinball on linux?

That's probably Wine.

Also have the excerpt of my theme.lua I changed based on those colors, for you Awesome WM users, if you want a Princess Luna theme:

theme.font          = "silkscreen 6"

theme.bg_normal     = "#161D3F"
theme.bg_focus      = "#404680"
theme.bg_urgent     = "#8159CE"
theme.bg_minimize   = "#040404"
theme.bg_systray    = theme.bg_normal

theme.fg_normal     = "#aaaaaa"
theme.fg_focus      = "#ffffff"
theme.fg_urgent     = "#ffffff"
theme.fg_minimize   = "#ffffff"

theme.border_width  = 1
theme.border_normal = theme.bg_normal
theme.border_focus  = theme.bg_focus
theme.border_marked = theme.bg_urgent


As for 4K res screens I doubt my graphic card and computer would even handle them because the graphic cars is from early 2012 and the computer, although an higher end work machine, early 2010.

However, isn't it possible in some OSes to resize the theme fonts and icons on large resolutions to make them easier to read? I remembieber it was possible under Windows 2000 and XP.

Yes there is, but not so much becoase the resolution is nog realy supported by the hardware.

Seems so yeah.

Also have my Luna-themed desktop:

I can't really post my background, it changes every 5 seconds. Anyways, it's every 2013 FCB player, backgrounds downloaded from their website
