Today we could find 40inch monitors on the market with 4k resolution. So it’s no longer limited to TVs. Now this post is more about large field of view. Of cause as 40inch monitors were released I recommend to buy them instead of TV for work. I still recommend large size though for some ppl.

Large resolution on a Large display can be the same as a smaller resolution on a smaller display. For when it’s a large resolution on a small display, Windows 10 has a desktop scaling feature.

It’s nice to hear that you enjoy such vast work-field too.

I received the computer and I can finally enjoy full 4k resolution. What a difference! My music composition software now can display plenty of arrangement, mixing desk and instruments to work really comfortably.

I was curious to experience 2K resolution, as it seems to me a good compromise since it’d still be very spacious and running at 60Hz. However I’ve noticed that even with ctrl-click in displays preferences, after 1080p, the next available resolution is 2160p, with no options in between.

I’ve tried using a program called SwitchResX which allowed all sorts of resolutions, and when I tried 2160×1440, to my disappointment, I ended up with a horribly jagged desktop…

Anyway, not a big deal after all. I’ll stick to 4k as I’m very happy with it. I’m still fine-tuning the monitor’s parameters to improve the fonts, as you already mentioned. I recommend this solution to anyone who makes composition: being composition a work of patterns and shapes, the view of large arrangements at once really helps being in control of the whole structure.

Thanks again, Victor!

Yes, 30Hz is not so bad as i expected too 🙂

I have already received my monitor today! It’s a first class experience on my 70cm deep desk. I am still waiting for the MacMini, so at the moment I can only use it at 1080p@60Hz with my MacBookAir (with a mini DP to HDMI, the thunderbolt is v1 so I can’t even get 2K).
I am trying 30Hz and honestly it’s better than I expected: I don’t feel any limitations in my workflow. I’m not programming but composing and I can’t wait to see big arrangements at a glance.
Will report once I get the computer. Thanks!

Got it! Thanks, Victor. I’ll buy this monitor later this month.

Inside ‘Displays’ settings you can only switch to 1080p by default (which is 60hz). You can tweak some configuration files to get it work at custom resolution and i’m pretty sure 1440p will work at high frequency as it requires a lot less bandwidth than 4k. But i would not recommend such resolution if you want to use it as monitor (unless you want to use it from distance)

Thanks for the reply 🙂 Yes, I read about the 3840x2160p specs. However, what I’m trying to understand (since it’s not mentioned anywhere) is the refresh rate at the lower resolution 2560x1440p, which for me would be ideal. From other reviews it doesn’t even seem to show up as an option. Am I missing something?
