      Michael Ch dows it take some of your computers performance using this screen ? Seeing you use one of the newer Macs (I am one a Mini M1) I make music so performance is the most important part when choosing a screen

    if you compare BenQ pd3205u vs Asus proart pa329cv, would you say there is a difference between the two?
    I work with photo retouching mostly. would one of them be better than the other?

    Thank you ☺️ is it steady sturdy enough ? Seems in the video as much as you touched the monitor it was a little loose …

      Yes, it’s solid, I’m putting a lot of force on it to move it

    just got mine yesterday! , The three things i dont like so far....
    1) When you activate PBP - there is no option to select which source the sound should come from . Its annoying . Its keep on selecting default left side source sound.
    2) The response time is poor when you toggle the sources.
    3) hotkey puck interface is slow

    Hello! Thanks for the review, can I ask which is the average Delta Color that the Color Calibration paper said on the measurement result section? The one that you show at 7:59, thanks!

    Great review. I have the 27" version but I can't get the HK puck to switch from Win to mac. The rotating key work for color. But the 1,2,3 switches keep telling me no HDMI or USB-C connected when I try to switch. Any suggestions? If I just open my Mac it comes up fine. Now Mac connected w/HDMI, Win w/ USB-C. I've tried it both ways Thanks again for a great review.

    Would it be possible to have the KVM hooked up, and choose sometimes to switch displays independently without the mouse, keyboard etc always carrying over? can they be selected separately via the hotkey puck, or will KVM always be activated along with display input?

    • @photoshopcafe

      It depends how you have the KB and mouse attached to USB

    Been looking for a new screen! I make music and have been looking at this screen but since my main focus is making music I am a bit worried if this screen will take some of my mac mini m1 performance since that is the most important part for me!

    Can the KVM switch mouse & keyboard but NOT the screen? I mean my lapto does have a screen, I don't need it blown up on the large monitor, and would be nice to be able to see what the main computer is doing while I'm working on my laptop :)

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 роки тому

      Good question, I think it might be possible, not sure, but you can show both screens at once Picture in Picture, so maybe

    I know this is off topic but is there a way I can focus stack self portraits in photoshop?
    I take most of my own images with beautiful landscapes in the back. I normally focus on certain areas then jump in and photograph myself in front of the landscape. Last time I attempted to focus stack something like that, it was a big mess. The image with me in it got a mashed up after stacking. Is there a way to focus stack self portraits?
    Thanks!!

    i had a sony monitor in the 90s it could do the same! why are we living in a time where people get hyped over shit that was done in the 80s and 90s? did you watch too mutch teletubbies?

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 роки тому +1

      Not with a single cable you didn’t. I had one in the 90s too and there were a lot of wires ;)

  • @rewanji

    Nothing to be really excited here, really. It's basically a generic 32" monitor with a external puck-like controller. The monitor design is similar to dozens of other generic monitors on the market, the resolution stays on 4k and the speaker(?) quality seems to be low. Too bad almost no other brand seems willing to offer a real alternative to Apple's own products in terms of design, functions and built quality.

      You can’t judge sound quality when a lav mic is picking up a distant sound, because proximity

      Mostly the picture and color, hard to show on a video. But I love that it’s a single cable docking station for my MacBook Pro.
