Thank u very much:
First, I'd like to thank you for your answer , I really like it
Second, you didn't suggest a monitor
?
-What is the port that gives higher quality (HDMI or DP)
-Please, I'm around taking a Korean monitor 4K, would you suggest any?
Youre welcome
Technically, DP is superior in a lot of cases. However, PS only supports HDMI (correct me if im wrong), and as you can see, having an HDMI port on your monitor is always useful since HDMI is the gold standard for home entertainment devices (thanks a lot, Sony /s).
Btw, youre talking about PS3/4, right? If youre talking about PS1/2, trust me, 4:3 CRT TV is the best. Theyre ridiculously cheap now, the color reproduction is great, and PS1/2 outputs the image at 4:3, which fits CRT TVs perfectly.
Sorry I couldn't recommend a monitor for you. Samsung's new 4K monitor seems great for its price, but that's all I know.
But I could recommend one thing: don't buy generic monitor with no brand, theyre built with the cheapest material, least reliable components. They don't put the brand for a reason. Stick with at least brands that provide warranty.
I've never understood what all of this scaling issues is. I plug in a plane jane 1080p 24" lcd and everything looks just fine. Never had to change a thing.
Biggest thing i think is the purpose of the monitor with regard to using it with the SP3. would your usage case really need or benefit form 4K?
Do you use the SP3's screen and monitor simultaneously? Do you spend a lot of time on the desktop? Metro scales really well, till the point where you don't need to worry about scaling, density, or resolution.
The problem appears when you drag windows from the monitor to the SP3 or vice versa. It will either be ridiculously large on the monitor, or ridiculously small on the SP3. The workaround in 8.1 is to post-process the UI to make it bigger or smaller, however, the outcome is rather blurry. Having high resolution monitor with the same density as SP3's screen allows you set one scaling level for both monitors, making the UI looks great on both screen.
4k with SP3 is a bit of a stretch and you still have scaling issues but in the opposite direction due to differences between screen resolutions.
One side effect of scaling is Desktop and Start Screen icon mobility (everything shifts around). There aren't any monitors that match the SP3's 2160 x 1440 resolution so it's pretty much inevitable.
You might be able to create a custom resolution and use it with a monitor like the Dell U2515H or U2715H that has resolution of 2560 x 1440 or just leave it, as it's not that much different so the rearranging and rescaling would be minimal.
4K with SP3 is perfect IMO. Since theyre roughly about 200dpi, I set Windows scaling to 175 / 200% with no post-process scaling introduced in 8.1.
Yeah, the icons on the desktop sucks.... lol, I don't even remember where the icons are right now.
