AMD: 3D Is Dead

Yeah thats why I have 2 monitors on my desk :| no way I'd do any kind of image editing on my BenQ it just sucks for color accuracy.

EDIT: Actually 3 ATM, Samsung PLS, Dell 2913 and BenQ XL2420T.

EDIT2: BenQ are pretty bad for it imo though - they seem to have gone for bright and colorful over actual image quality or accuracy - I wouldn't have been totally against image editing on my old Samsung 120Hz 2233rz post calibraton.

Main thing with occulus rift is, other than glasses + glasses on top not sounding great, neither does wearing a couple screens for a long time.

Ultimately, a I don't know, at a guess somewhere between a 35-45" curved OLED 4k stretching across the desk...... jawesome.

I can see OccRift just being something that is generally good and works but just isn't worth the hassle. You look at tv reviews countless people essentially say "I tried 3d, I really liked it but I just can't be bothered using it most of the time". I think I maybe watched two films in 3d and got utterly bored with it, couldn't be bothered, didn't like wearing the glasses and didn't like the darker image for the film. Oled may be bright enough and fast enough that 3d could have less downsides, even then I think I'd get bored.

I really don't know what the big deal with 4k in particular is. Nor why you can get 1080p on a freaking 4-5" screen and most 24" screens are the same ruddy res. Why must it be a jump to 4k and why is it taking so damn long. Why haven't we just had 1440p 22-24" screens, and 1600p, meh. For gamers who cares about 4k. 2.5k would still look better, not all that much different to 4k, and not need as much power... oh and cost a crapload less ;) My drool worthy dream of a desk sized curved oled... that I can afford at least, is at least 4 years away I would imagine so I really couldn't give a poop about 4k support from AMD or Nvidia now, it's nice to think about it now though so the games out over the next 4 years will scale and look right if I replay them after I upgrade.

In terms of colour accuracy, meh I don't much care for it. Ultimately you can have a IPS screen set up in 3 different ways and have different colour images... the image itself is whats important as long as it looks good, in real life I don't know exactly what shade or red something actually is therefore no colour is "wrong" or right to me.

For graphic design and for serious photographers sure, I can completely understand but for games, it's all much the same to me.

I can play through any game, change the screen settings and the game doesn't change at all.

Now that sounds like it is the right way to go with this sort of technology, a 3D headset that is just like wearing a pair of sunglasses and they will adjust the image so you don't need to wear your prescription glasses under them.
