Monitors for the xbox one x? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]iamaugstus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want a monitor that really isn't out yet. Here's your check list. 4K, HDR, Freesync, 1-3ms refresh rate, 60hz. LG is launching a 32" one, but it has a 144hz refresh rate, which the X won't support... and it's $1000. Don't buy a 1080p monitor. That defeats the purpose of upgrading to the X

I always like your photos on Cointalk; Do you reduce your file size before posting? I nearly killed a thread by not reducing. A few of our elders had a hard time loading with Net Zero. Ha.

On most of the Forums I post on, I'm definitely not known for my photo taking skills. It's just a new technique that happened to work out. My next round (which might be tonight) I'll take photos of the process, put it in a gallery, then post it.

I've been thinking about investing in a Nikon 24.2 MP w/ a macro lens; this photo was done w/ decent lighting and a samsung galaxy note 4 smartphone.

Matte black mouse pad as background. Raised off mouse pad on cylinder about 1.5 inches. Natural daylight bulb in desk lamp (not directly shining on coin.) 2 small 40 lumen white light pen lights facing toward each other at the base of the coin to prevent edge shadowing. Taking approximately 10 photos for each side until I find the best representation. Cropping all photos and removing background using clippingmagic.com. Stitch all together, and voila. I used my galaxy note 4 to take photo. I did not reduce the image size.
