Large 4K screens at CES 2014

Over 100 inches on a bendy TV...

Whats the market ratio for homes that could reasonably house one of them in their living rooms! 




Certainly for gaming your eyes would be 'swimming' around the screen unless you were sitting a good distance back.

New PC build specification:

PC build:
For peripherals I use a Logitech G510 / G700 and G930 (I got a massive discount deal on them 2 years ago).

A few people have asked me for the spec so here it is. It's modest in places but I certainly think its value for money!

The case is especially nice to work with although the handles could be a bit more study. Ventilation is excellent which means I can run the 120mm (or larger) fans slower and quieter so its near silent.

Two SSD's in Raid0 is also very wow ;-) I barely get a loading screen in Skyrim with the highest quality textures.  



1 month till i'm on fibre! Yay!

Although for an ADSL line it holds up well! I can't wait to move at the end of the month and put my NAS on a half decent upstream 20Mbps with 80Mbps down!

My Broadband Speed Test



Heres a ping monitor of how the lines held up against heavy downloading all day and I reinstall Windows updates / Office and Steam games all day:
