By the Nine!

Does anyone know of a 24-inch IPS display that does at least 120 Hz refresh, has 1440p resolution, supports G-SYNC, and covers at least 90% of Adobe RGB?

Well, I guess this meets or exceeds all of these requirements.

Problem is, this thing is going to be insanely expensive...

Journeyman Geek

yup

also

> To take full advantage of the Predator X27 monitor, gamers are going to need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-series graphics card with a DisplayPort 1.4 connector. NVIDIA & Acer are using every bit of bandwidth offered by DisplayPort 1.4 here, and even that's not enough; the X27's bandwidth requirements actually exceed what DisplayPort can provide

I'd wait a generation ._.

bwDraco

27-inch, 4K@144Hz, AHVA with quantum dot and direct LED backlighting, 100% sRGB, 99% Adobe RGB (!), 96% DCI-P3 (!!!), 10-bit color HDR, G-SYNC, and Tobii eye-tracking.

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco yeah. All that new tech is scary ;p

djsmiley2k

yAWN

SO DEAD TODAY

Gonna be even worse tmorrow as it's bank holiday as well -_-

bwDraco

Well, finally, a wide-gamut display for gamers!

Nov 14 '16 at 1:43, by bwDraco

The problem is that wide-gamut panels are so hard to find in a gaming monitor. I need the display to be able to do both gaming and photo editing.

bwDraco

12:30 AM

Also, I would need new gear to properly calibrate this thing. My ColorMunki Display is not equipped to handle 10-bit HDR displays (I think it only does up to DCI-P3) and I would probably need a much more expensive spectrophotometer to calibrate it to HDR10.

Not too sure about the measurement constraints of this colorimeter but I kinda doubt its ability to handle anything past DCI-P3.

djsmiley2k

12:48 AM

What kinda lighting you got @bwDraco

for when you're working on a monitor?

bwDraco

@djsmiley2k LED for the most part.

If not, natural light from my bedroom window.

djsmiley2k

ah right

yeha, obvs. natural light is best, just wondering what is defacto these days

i studied graphic design back in college, many years ago

Led lighting then wasn't really something you'd hear about...

djsmiley2k

1:33 AM

Right

it's time for that robocopy stuff I was talking about

Can any of you cool cats explain why that tells mefilename is incorrect

ah, the \ it added to the destination path as breaking it heh

bwDraco

2:05 AM

Wait a sec. Why is Acer shipping this thing with a monitor hood?

This is not something you normally see on anything other than high-end $1000+ professional displays.

djsmiley2k

it likely lets them 'adjust' the brightness numbers?

bwDraco

Apparently, it's supplied to allow for easier color calibration. Notice the cutout in the top if you look closely; this is intended to allow the use of a colorimeter or spectrophotometer.

Again, you typically only see these sorts of hoods on very expensive professional monitors.

djsmiley2k

o_O

Would a hood affect colour calibation tho?

bwDraco

You'd use this when you're doing color-critical work. It shields the display from glare.

Then again... it looks like Acer has decided to spare no expense with this display.

http://www.pcmag.com/review/353325/acer-predator-21-x — Shor's bones!

Apparently, this is not the first time Acer has released a product that is utterly designed without regard to cost; see the linked message.

$9000 "laptop"? You bet.

Now a gaming monitor that can pull double duty as a professional wide-gamut display for serious photo and video work?

This is basically what the Predator X27 is.

The Predator 21 X laptop is a striking example of the sort of system that's possible when a computer manufacturer decides to design a product completely without regard to cost.

There's a reason people call it "ridiculous", "insane", and "absurd".

Apr 7 at 6:01, by Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco for people who want a bigger epeen

(out of context, but fits here 100%)

businessinsider.com/…

> Eric Ackerson, the company's senior product marketing and brand manager, says the company isn't expecting to make much revenue off the Predator 21X, but that it mainly wants to push back against its reputation as a netbook-making, value-focused manufacturer. It's a brand play, in other words.

It's an engineering masterwork more than it is a normal product.

Hence, designed without regard to cost.

Ok so I need batch script to.... take the path of the files to be saved to, the IP of the store, make the folder, copy the files, delete the old one if more than 2 backups exist, confirm in a log somewhere (or leave a window open on screen informing of success...

Those predators cost makes Apple laptop computers look cheap

djsmiley2k

lol

Gypsy Spellweaver

@William I wouldn't keep a Predator if it was donated to me. I would sell it. It's a status symbol I don't want.

In my view, having one of those would say I have more money than brains, and don't know what to do with either one.

William

The most I have spent on a laptop in any one single sitting was $700. I buy macs and Thinkpads used typically. Upgrade them with SSD and RAM and they work well enough.

@JourneymanGeek It's a pool table expression.

@FleetCommand the other variation of that is "Break a leg, preferably someone elses"

When Astrid corrected their mistake, they said they had to apologize to quite a lot of people including their mum!

@FleetCommand The protagonist lost a foot and the dragon lost a part of its tail in the previous movie. I wonder if that line was an intentional jab at that.

@JourneymanGeek techniques. I'm ethically sound. Thank you very much.

I've probably reached Kohlberg's 4th level in ethical development.

Do lithium cells in wireless earbuds have expiry as a result of degradation when NOT IN USE?

@Nick Not really. It was a jab at the twins (who are utter idiots) and at Vikings in general (who all have a limb missing).

Nick

@Boris_yo Good question. They do but we don't talk about it. the average person loses their wireless earbuds while jogging long before anyone can notice.

@FleetCommand Glad to see a Dreamworks animation junkie in this room besides myself :)

@DavidPostill Me too. But I don't wear earphones. Just halucinate auditorily.

@FleetCommand To be honest I prefer Warner Brothers Animation...and Disney.

@Nick I guess buying a spare bluetooth earbuds does not justify it if they won't be much in use?

@DavidPostill First you explain how to bypass a wifi captive portal, that blocks porn, without using Tor or VPN. Then I'll think about it.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick is that ethical? ;p

@Nick warner in the late 90s was excellent

Nick

@JourneymanGeek Knowing it (the technique) is. Using it is not.

Journeyman Geek

Batman TAS for example

and of course, animaniacs

Nick

10:00 AM

Warener Animation is still good in making movies. Check out Teen Titans vs JL and The Judas contract.

DavidPostill

@Nick Shrug. I don't care enough to want to know.

Nick

The new batman movies with Damien as Robin are also very nice.

@DavidPostill I know you don't but what am I?

Journeyman Geek

@Nick the big thing with TAS was the stories/animation style

those were much more influencial than a "cartoon" had any right to be.

And I wish batman beyond lasted longer.

Nick

@JourneymanGeek and Harley. Oh boy, did that OC pop into the DC-verse in a big way.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick and the TAS harley and her interaction with joker and ivy...

she was in a abusive relationship with the joker

Nick

10:02 AM

@JourneymanGeek Same here. I bought all the 2.0 comics. It was pretty sick. One issue had a backstory where Batman impregnated Barb while she was engaged to Dick.

Journeyman Geek

Ivy was doing her best to help. and it worked

(she does end up living a relatively normal life.)

Nick

@JourneymanGeek /there's a new BTAS-inspired movie where Batman enlists the help of Harley to find Ivy. It's coming out soon.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick ah. I kinda lost touch with comics at some point. I probably need to see if I can get my paws on it.

Saw the previews

I'd love to see dini script a live action movie

he gets how batman should look/feel

user226528

@Nick From Warner Bros, I've only watched Iron Giant. That was cool, but only because a Pixar director made it. (Brad Bird)

@JourneymanGeek Probably but giving them an awesome presentation is just as necessary. I'm going to be using a lot of animation. Just started making the slides right now.

No, if the review was completed fully, that page would say "review completed" - the task was invalidated

I'm guessing it was put into the LQP queue by an NAA or VLQ flag, which was then dismissed by a mod

Once the conditions that put a post in the queue become false, the task is invalidated

That makes sense.

@Nick Oh, yeah. The so-called "yo mamma" joke/insult that I never understand. Americans seem get worked up over it so much. I just don't get it.

DavidPostill

@FleetCommand You don't get the jokes (which aren't funny IMHO) or you don't get why people get worked up about them?

The jokes are so popular there is a TV show - in the US of course.

Yo Momma

Yo Momma is an American television show based upon insulting one's mother. Creators, executive producers and hosts are Wilmer Valderrama, along with Sam Sarpong (Seasons 1 and 2), Jason Everhart and Destiny Lightsy. The show—which ran from 2006 to 2007, and as the title suggests—used "yo momma" jokes, and many episodes featured guest appearances from rappers. == Guest appearances == === Season 1: Los Angeles === Week One: Method Man Week Two: Mike Jones Week Three: Chingy Week Four: Ne-Yo Best of LA: They were selected as the jury for the hosts === Season 2: New York City === Week One...

@DavidPostill Neither of the two.

Twisty

Much better IMHO: YO MAMA BATTLE (of Compliments)

DavidPostill

@FleetCommand Well you are not missing much. It is reality TV after all.

user226528

@DavidPostill I watch The Big Bang Theory sometimes. The maternal insult part is like the lamest part of the show. I mean they say "I'll ask your mother tonight" implying what both you and I know. Well, I'm like "that was the most pathetic lie I've ever heard."

I mean are you going to enrage him or are going to make him laugh to death as to what a fool you are!

DavidPostill

@FleetCommand Humour is can be very culture dependent. I don't really find any of the US sitcoms funny at all.

Nick

@DavidPostill I am keeping up. I saw that from @Nick_Craver and I immediately mailed the super-user.com owner if he'd sell cheaper. I DM'd nick that sup3rus3r.com is free to buy.

Hi, guys. Came across this question in the reopen review queue: superuser.com/questions/1204700/…. It's closed as off-topic, and five users agreed, but there were no comments and nothing pops out at me as why it would be (although it might be too broad). Can anyone provide some feedback to the OP on the specific issue?

user226528

@fixer1234 Yeah. That. I just voted reopen. I don't know why was it closed as off-topic, but this seems wrong.

DavidPostill

@FleetCommand @fixer1234 Reopened. Lets see what happens :)

Ben N

@DavidPostill @fixer1234 I suspect people tried to migrate the question to SF, but the question author is question-banned on SF, so it just did a generic off-topic closure (that explains the weird instant lock/unlock cycle)

@BenN Even if they weren't question banned it would have gotten sent back ("I have Windows Server 2012 R2 on my home server machine") - they don't like home networks :/
