Anyone running GCIII in 4K?

I keep coming back to this topic. I am eyeing a 1080 GTX and wanted to know if anyone is running GCII in 4K? Also is there a step up from 1080p but below 4K that also looks 'amazing'?


What monitors are you guys using for 4k?

"Amazing" is a product of pixel density versus viewing distance.  If you buy a 64 inch 4k tv and sit it two feet away from you, it will just be four 32 inch 1080p monitors, fidelity wise.  If you buy a 32 inch 4k monitor, it would instead have four times the resolution and you'd have "amazing" clarity.

 

If you want a finer picture, you simply need a higher density display.  I'm typing this on a 27 inch2560x1440 Acer K272HUL, it's an IPS, and it looks pretty good.  I'm in need of more real estate more than higher fidelity, so I'm waiting for 32 inch 4k ips/pls monitors with good color to be less insanely priced.

I am running an Acer XB270HU, an 2K monitor., which is the step up from 1080p.  I have posted a couple of videos of my ships and they should be in 2K resolution for you to look at if you have access to a high resolution screen.  The screen was gotten for real estate more than GalCiv, but I certainly like the way GalCiv looks on it.   I notice the fine details as my ultra shiny ships reflect the very starfield around them.  You can see individual stars.  That is impressive.
