Update: the game being played is Portal not Portal 2
It has been suggested that my MacBook Pro 2014 can output 4K at 60Hz over the DisplayPort...this is not what I understand from reading this: support.apple.com/en-us/HT206587 but perhaps I'm wrong...however I'd rather have a 21:9 screen than a 4K one now after using it for a while, so I'm happy. When editing the video is only visible in a small window in the corner, so I never get to see it in 4K/UHD until it's finished....at which point I can watch it on my main UHD TV.

@dan_loup 7 жыл бұрын

Just to randomly add details, that freesync thing described on the specs is a capability your display have of allowing games to control the refresh rate when using an AMD videocard. This make the motion smoother because the game will always deliver the frames in a consistent basis, even if the frame rate varies. On non freesync/gsync screens, the game needs to repeat frames and they don't exactly do it in a very clean way.

At least for me, The HD4000 that I have with my i5 does not support outputting to 4k @ 60 hertz. He pointed out the same for his HD Iris - The internal gpu cannot output the needed refresh rate at these resolutions. Thus, a 2k monitor is still a big upgrade, as long as you're running it at native resolution (compared to some crappy 1336x768 laptops (like mine) )

I also have that one but with different stand. After roughly two years of using, I must say it was a great decision to buy it. I can comfortably use four windows at a time and play games with very wide field of view. You may have noticed that many music videos and series are shot in 21:9 ratio, so they fill the screen entirely (although sometimes I have to use Ultrawide Video plugin for Chrome to crop black stripes). Also the speakers are pretty decent for me. Got if for PLN1200, which is approx. GBP250. I think this is not much for the great experience :D

I played around with monitors and MacBooks for work and can tell you something. The limitations apple tells you are for HDMI. If you use the thunderbolt ports as mini display port, all MacBooks support 4k at 60hz, i tested it even with an 11 inch MacBook air. Since you macbook pro uses discreet graphics, it should run fine.

@martyp2138 7 жыл бұрын

Was going to say this. TB2 > Display Port will do 4k @ 60Hz.

@kaitlyn__L 7 жыл бұрын

yeah, i was thinking how the internal screen on that macbook pro is closer to 4K anyway, since that's clearly a "retina" model. (i don't know the exact resolution of the internal screen, mind) trying to run two at once in extend-o-mode would possibly get a bit laggy, but using it docked in single-screen mode like that should definitely not have been a problem. of course, whether he would get any benefit from the extra pixels is questionable given the distance he's sitting from it, and his failing eyesight comment. my eyesight's pretty good and i can't really see the pixels in 1080p at 2 or 3 feet away. mine's a 24" monitor but i imagine the 29" ultrawide is a similar height as my 24" 16:9 one.

@GraveUypo 7 жыл бұрын

it's actually almost exactly the same height. my 34" is also almost exactly the same height as a 27" screen. the pixel density is the same. on both. anyway, larger screen means you can push it further away from your eyes, which means less eye strain. try using a screen from about 1 meter or more away for a couple of weeks and then push it back to the usual 50~60cm. it literally hurts your eyes to focus in such a close distance for long.

@martyp2138 7 жыл бұрын

The internal screen is native 2880x1800 however, most resolutions are scaled which actually puts more demand on the GPU but doesn't really impact the use on the desktop. The GT750m is more than capable than 4k scaled down (to become legible unless you have a 40" display) and run the internal screen at the same time. I wish Apple made displays again, the 30" monitor was my workhorse for years, 16:10 is the best aspect ration imo. My replacement 32" 4k monitor blows it out of the water on all other points though.

Adapting the DisplayPort to HDMI is what limits your resolution. Even DisplayPort 1.2, which is supported over the ThunderBolt 2/miniDP port, can support 4k60 properly. He even bought the proper cable for it when plugging in the dock.

What do you need HDCP for if you're not watching 4k media? He's editing the content. And HDMI version has nothing to do with the DisplayPort version (1.2, which does support 4k60). While it might require an MST monitor, it's a single setting that allows his laptop (and any Macbook Pro newer than 2013) to be able to output 4k60.

On windows, you can also divide screen up to 4 equal applications with "windows+arrow" buttons or you can use the software comes with the monitor which allows you to divide your screen if the OS doesn't support.

Keep an eye on the temperatures when you dock your mac-book. My overheated when docked, and the motherboard died. (though that was a 2011 model. The airflow might be better on newer models)

@x-iso 7 жыл бұрын

actually, this kind of dock is more like a death trap, especially when intended to use with large monitor and utilize CPU and GPU at maximum performance. The Macbook itself have a bit poorly designed ventilation, and using this kind of dock station just outright blocks most of the airflow. Techmoan, take note please, or we won't see new videos for a while!

@kaitlyn__L 7 жыл бұрын

i've noticed the models with smaller screens can sometimes have their vents obstructed by docks/stands. his one looks on the larger side though, and should probably be ok. overheating is possibly indicative of a more serious problem, though,. processors have dynamically underclocked themselves when they get too hot for many many years now. they can usually go as low as ~800MHz if need be (half the cycles = half the heat, sort of). your computer should just shut itself off if that's not enough, rather than destroying itself. (of course if it was out of warranty when this happened, it doesn't really matter where the failure lay.) i've had my laptop turn itself off on a 30ºc summer day after rendering a video, once. wouldn't turn back on for about 6 hours, but once it was cooled off enough, it was totally fine. that happened about 4 years ago, and i've been using it every day since :)

@x-iso 7 жыл бұрын

if the airflow is severely blocked both by closing the lid and covering a portion of the whole laptop with a dock case, it's going to heat up much faster, even with throttling. and if the point was to use it for CPU/GPU intensive tasks, then you don't want it to underclock. as for safety mechanisms, it might not work if it heats up rapidly under high load, with no way to dissipate the heat. I've 'burned' the gpu once on my old laptop, by accidentally loading extremely heavy 3D project with real-time rendering, and it just died at trying to process it. it was work related, normally intended for use on workstation PC, but I was also able to export 'lighter' versions of the projects for laptop editing, without enormous uncompressed textures and other heavy stuff (obviously that time I forgot to load the right version). it's worth noting that gpu was a bit overclocked, so it might have not corrected the clock rate under the load and high temperature, while CPU did. but I also had a moment with same laptop when the fan decided to fail, the system properly responded and turned off, with no damage being done.

@tschuuuls486 7 жыл бұрын

Foreigner037 Depends on age. Circular CRTs were the OG style before that newfangled TV thing forced them into rectangular formats invented for cinemas and paper.

Thats a nice set up. I love watching your videos they are very educational

@Descry 7 жыл бұрын

Instead of bashing the operating system I'd like to give you props for explaining the reasons why you chose the monitor and the benefits it's provided you since obtaining it. I don't think many would have taken into account the benefit of the timeline view and editing process and while that may be a benefit more specific to you it's still something worth noting as I'm sure you're not the only one that would benefit from this. This is a very thorough review of the monitor in everyday usage and you don't fail to mention the reasons *you* bought it and that it might not be for everyone. Liked the video and although I'm a PC guy, I'm going to subscribe.

Invested (heavily) in a 38" widescreen Acer Monitor and it's brilliant. I'm working on it most days and it allows me to get so much done. Just having 2 or 3 applications side my side plus my laptop screen too is so productive. 21:9 is Highly recommended

Your monitor seems to be in interlaced mode tho, just pause the footage whenever you're scrolling somewhere and you'll see what I mean.

@l3p3 7 жыл бұрын

I had to dislike but I agree. I wonder if that could have been the camera in combination with the screen.

@GPTSkills 6 жыл бұрын

When a monitor is interlaced, you'll see a pattern shifting a bit horizontally. It's usually not vertical, therefore, the cause might be the camera.

I've been using the previous version of that monitor for a few years and it's been just great. The ultrawide is especially good for spreadsheets, too.

I bought a previous model (29UM67) a year and a half ago - mainly for gaming - and I'm still blown away every time I use it. Easily the best PC upgrade I've had in years, worth every penny. No way in hell I'm going back to 16:10.
