Yes it does. But be on the lookout for the 4Ks. I just saw one for about USD500.00 28" 4K Samsung or a non-refurbished, but a demo for just USD400.00

Any 4K in the 23' range? Would 2 760 be able to handle 3 monitors?

I don`t think there will be monitor less than 27". But who knows. Sergio, I think you can do it.

Okay, I just find 3 othem bigger than 27 to be a bit too much. Would need a new base of operations for that...lol

You know; I`m thinking to get a Big screen TV and used as a monitor. Like 46". Does anyone in here using their TV as Monitor?
I`ve already used once on my 64" inches Plasma in my living room with a surround system, and it was blast in image and sound.

I don't like using the TV, seems to look weird for me. Plus I like to be sitting on my desk and having everything within reach.

problem with a tv, it doesnt have the resolution of a monitor, the size of the lines, size of pixels, say for instance 1080p 23" monitor, fit 1080 lines horizonal much more finer in a monitor, + your monitor is running 60hz.
now take a 42 " HD 1080p TV, those same 1080 lines are much bigger and lose detail. How it gains detail is with Bluray. is that it draws @ 120 hz. double the frequency and 24 frames per second. the same rate as the HD camera used to record the movie.
Hope this helps a bit.

It really depends on what your using it for. say if you have a cockpit and want it as an outside view only, You wont have any detail problems for you dont need that HD detail for scenery.

for cockpit gauges you want quality.

Sergio, About looking weird is just a matter of adjusting and in my setup, I would be in my desk and I could even add a 70" TV on it or I could do wall mount.

This is not the example, but this guy is using a TV 46" on his home built cockpit:

That looks like a set of Projectors, not a 46" TV.

In his other videos, he uses TV smile

In this video it's a green screen, which is basically a roll of green cloth.
You can later key it out in editing software and replace by any background (that's how 99.99% of movies are shot) smile
