sblx » 2x4k

we’re rendering 3840x7406 and slicing that onto two 3840x2160 outputs. i’ve already got one of those as my main monitor, as it was the nearest i could get to a ‘retina’ monitor – pixel-doubled at a size where the pixels are small enough to disappear. at desk viewing distances, 24” is already borderline too large, but it works, and there wasn’t anything smaller.

so i went to buy another. no-one makes ones like this any more! 4k is seemingly only for large tvs, or larger gaming monitors. the market for professional productivity didn’t work out!? onto the second-hand market, and a drive across the country.

that done, good to finally see our output directly: every pixel, every frame, any glitch.
