Precision M4600 Owners Lounge

Reading some NVIDA documentation on 30bit displays with Quadro, I noticed that there is a different 32 bits interface - 10 bits per component plus only 2 bits of alpha:

Thanks Chris! That was some of the best color info that I have read outside of DPReview.com 's forums.

When I get the IPS paneled machine in, I will be contacting you throughout the testing.

 

Hi, eds,

great deal you have there! Getting a 2820QM for that price is just exceptional. One thing to consider though is the screen: Working with Solidworks on that resolution may not be too enjoyable...unless you attach an external screen to it.

 

Current ST/Genesis solution features 10/14 bit Processing with only 8 bit LUT.
That is why you would not see over 98% Grayscale performance after the calibration across DELL Ultrasharp series as well as ASUS PA246Q, not to mention HP Elitebook Series.

 

Looks good, for price

 

Get it or you will regret later.

BTW, I got a similar configuration at $831 after coupon, tax last week.

The screen resolution maybe..

Full res is best!

 

It only happens with my CPU fan. I'm getting a replacement fan sent to me so I'll see if that fixes anything.

 

Yea originally I was just going to go with a i5 or dual i7 but I heard the quad is better for rendering in Solidworks so I set out to find a good deal on a quad. As far as the screen goes...I think 90% of the time it'll stay closed on the desk and I will be hooking it up to a 24" monitor when doing Solidworks.


Thanks guys for the suggestions!

kevinshiong I have to say I'm abit jealous of your deal...just because of the screen you managed to grab.


I had the configuation I posted in my shopping cart.. and kept refreshing it so they wouldn't take it out of my shopping cart.. I didn't know they took it out after an hour even if you show activity so I lost it and the Bots picked it up. After a night long battle against the Bot Scripters in the Outlet I found a easy way to beat them! and I was able to get my 4600 back.. right as I got it in my shopping cart I payed for it to make sure I didn't lose it again.. it'll be here Thursday.. I can't wait! This is a HUGE upgrade from my Compaq Cq50-139wm that I picked up for $298 a few years ago... goodbye Celeron, 160gb, 2gb,and integerated graphics and hello quad core, 500gb, 8gb, and AMD Firepro.

Looks like I'm joining the M4600 family.

 

You just don't get it , do you ?

Most professional monitors do have high precision luts(14-16 bit LUT). Whatever 8 bit(DVI-D) or 10 bit output (Displayport) it is for high end professional monitors will bring the end user exactly the same color reproduction. For NEC P241W as the example, 8 bit output ouf of 14 bit LUT, 10 bit output (with additional requirement to meet) ouf of 14 bit 3D LUT.
