    Damn that 15" is ugly as **** compared to the P750DM, my lil batman :')
    In all honesty I'd rather stick with this and pray to prema to make the 1070 from MSI work. (As he says.)
    I think its also thicker, perhaps for cooling.

    I highly doubt we are going to see a 15" 120hz panel this generation, hardly anyone even makes the 17" version anymore because 3D was such a flop. Isn't LG the manufacturer of basically all of the 17 inch ones?

    ... Are you for real? What about Quadro cards? I am sure we can opt for Xeon CPU's at some point down the line with Pascal Quadro cards, too.

    Wasn't Alienware the only one who had a 120Hz panel there for a while? I remember owning the Alienware M17x R4 and Alienware 17 R1 at one point.

    Don't know of others. Could be wrong there.

    IF you mean 120 Hz ones, I'm not sure, but AUO makes the 4K high gamut display in P870.

    while I kind of want one work stations, I kind of wish it did not look like two or three laptops stacked together. Seems they just were not that great to carry with you everywhere.

    I had 1 Asus g53sx with 120hz LCD but with very low resolution @1366*768 maximum and I did email Asus to get another 1080p@120hz LCD for the laptop but the answer is they cannot make it as there is a limitation of technology, 15' 120hz LCD at 1080p is impossible.

    I'm confused by this.

    We are going to have 120Hz displays in the upcoming laptops. That has been confirmed.

    I think that the limitation was back when the ports would not support the resolution and the refresh rate.

    Kind of like how today, we can't have more than 4K at 60fps. If we extent over, we need special ports and such.

    BTW, regarding optimus:

    On some optimus devices, you can't set a custom refresh rate. I am using an LG 17.3" FHD screen (the one every laptop has). I can't set a custom resolution or refresh rate from Vnidia center because of optimus, so yeah...

    The screen is known to go over 100Hz too...

    Well, to be fair, they have been developing those in conjunction with surgical machines to do it remotely for years. They are extremely costly, lower quality, and less mobile.Now we will see mobile, less costly training scenarios. Also, if it increases sales, they develop more of these behemoths for us to enjoy as enthusiasts! So hope that corporate picks it up, too!!! :)

    Which is why I'll pick one up. I game with a controller on my 4k TV. Don't judge, I just hate keyboard and mouse. Plus, games are finally putting controllers in a separate room for online, meaning I don't get killed as much....

    4k tv controller setup is not a joke....thats my plan but with a desktop....

    however what you guys should be interested in is the new w490 by optoma. a 1080p 5000lumen led yes led projector...imagine 150in of bright gaming heaven...don't be turned off by 1080p on a projector because even a 720p 100 in image will look sharp from 12 feet back...1080p vs 4k when sitting 10 feet away from a 150 in image will be negli...

    I've read about your situation and thought that maybe this could be useful to you (and others). Even if only as food for thought.

    Intel NUC

    You would have to bring your own monitor and maybe an eGPU but I believe you were considering such alternatives.

    Hope it helps! :)

    to be honest, the effort of carrying an eGPU makes a small case desktop, like node202 be a good idea XD

    but then, a Clevo P870 comes with everything one needs. From GPU to CPU, to everything. It's just a bit more expensive. And not too expensive when you consider it has it's own display, keyboard, and everything else within.

    The GS43VR Phantom Pro is now on Amazon and DGXTech for a price of $1766.31, along with most of the specs. It comes with a GTX 1060.

    https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GS43VR-Phantom-Pro-006-i7-6700HQ/

    https://dgxtech.com/sales/vr-ready-...i7-6700hq-16gb-128gb-m-2-sata-1tb-windows-10/

    The price does seem a bit high compared to the XoticPC leaked price of the GT62VR ($1549), which also comes with a 1060. We'll have to wait to see how the price pans out in the end.

    I currently don't have the space for that. But I do have three 50" 4K vizio M50s, two in bedrooms and one in the living room. Currently playing shadows of Mordor on it...

    I like and wish I could afford one! Try to find one using the new wider gamut bt.2020 standard! It switched to using gamma 2.4 and is as wide or wider color spectrum than AdobeRGB! That will keep you glorious for years and is the blu-ray 4K standard upcoming...

    Haha, to be honest, there is still no real single GPU solution for 4k if you want to max out things and run them at 60fps imo. Pascal isnt going to do the job, Volta titan might. Also the OLED is still expensive and way too big imo.

    There is a 4k blueray standard coming?

    Yes! Japan has had 4k blu ray players since at least 2011, but this is before mastering standards came out, plus zero content. It uses BDXL Blu ray player, bt.2020 wide color gamut, I forgot the audio standard (at minimum 7.1 or 7.2), etc. There are only like three on the market and zero discs! But, how you've seen more 4k content for movies, that is coming and companies are trying to convert what they can to get ready for it. They meant to release it last Christmas, but weren't ready. So seems like a year push, like everything else...

    Btw, Japan gets 4k tv next year by law! :)

    We do! But the US government isn't going to force 4K as they not too long ago just finished fhd conversion. So instead, they'll make them change equipment with the release of 8K, which isn't for half a decade, then they'll give them a decade like they did for 1080i/p, then the cable companies won't start until two years before the deadline, then file up to three years for exception to compliance...

    Not sure if it's BRLX but the 100GB discs have on sale here for some time now. I believe a 125GB is to follow.

    It's not whether we can buy them, it is industry adoption. Not computer industry, cinema and media industries. Once the cost per disc reaches a certain point, the amount of media you have available in that format to make the runs worth it, etc., reaches a specific cost amount, you make the switch, and not a day before. Also, the slow down in purchases of inventory have caused delays to prevent losses and huge mark downs...

    Righteo, yeah I missed you saying there's no content. There really isn't apart from demo videos selling the TV's.
    Right now there's far more 4k TV's on the shop floor than 1080p's, considering there's no content I kind of chuckle to myself.
    Not sure how how good their internal up scalers are but I doubt it's anything special either.
    I think that 4k streaming via Netflix etc will be a more ubiquitous source for markets that have enough bandwidth before discs get up and going. We'll see I guess.

    I've been seeing a growth on Netflix and Amazon prime 4k offerings. Also, the films filmed in the past couple years were originally 4k and downscaled so that they would have them when the time was right. Also, certain classic films shot on specific equipment are being rescanned at the higher resolution to fill out their library. Upscaling is still limited, though, as always. At least some companies are trying to preserve some things at 8K for future content to be ready, but the tech is so new...

    But yes, 4K content is coming and I'm excited for it... I'm more excited when we get video cards that can render 8K without a massive array to do so (welcome to the world of tomorrow) or holograms!

    Damn, why are we wasting time on 4k?? 8k is where it's at now!!

    Forget 4K: In Japan, Olympics will be broadcast in 8K resolution
    In Japan, they have already moved on from 4K to 8K or as the Japanese public broadcaster NHK calls it 'Super Hi-Vision.'
    http://indianexpress.com/article/te...cs-will-be-streamed-in-8k-resolution-2953584/

    World’s first 8K TV broadcasts begin for Rio 2016 Olympics
    Unless you have an 8K TV you'll have to attend a special viewing theatre.
    http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/worlds-first-8k-tv-broadcasts-begin-for-rio-olympics/

    Looking forward to the UltraHD Blu-ray to play on my 4k laptop with SLI 1080:

    Ultra HD Blu-ray: everything you need to know
    http://www.whathifi.com/advice/ultra-hd-blu-ray-everything-you-need-to-know

    But, now the question is, can it do 8k @ 30hz, or 60hz to an external monitor??

    "The format used by NHK, which it calls " Super Hi-Vision," also features 22.2-channel surround sound."

    They already revised it themselves. Simply look at their updated spec-sheet in the same article and compare it to the articles headlines to get closer to the truth.

    That WCFTech post is from 2 months ago.

    If you have been following this very thread, you should know that "GTX 1080M" was actually Mr. Najsman's MSI GT72R with GTX 1070.

    We already know much more today (pretty much everything :)).

    These 3 notebooks GPUs are coming soon (shouldn't be more than ~one week):

    You all have given me so much crap and hate...

    It's funny to see you all squirm at the hint of an M series, like it's the end of the world if it were to happen.

    It's coming. Get over it.

    The more of your posts I read, the more I come to the conclusion that you are intentionally trolling. How does it look to you @Ethrem ?

    Not yet :(

    Since 1080 was announed, I've been delaying the purchase of it since April XD

    Nowadays I'm contemplating that I might end up getting an 1070 Clevo but still get more performance, thing which makes the wait having been worth it.

    Still have to see what the scores for 1080 are.

    I can't let it go. I've seen it!

    Not trolling. I'm sharing information that you just happen to not believe.

    Get the 1070 if the 1080 is too much.. If you need, get 1070 SLI..
