Moving from 3D Vision to a 4K TV is a bit painful so far
I'm still struggling with the transition. going from tripple monitor setup to a 55" monitor is quite a difference.
I sit slightly further back but I can almost reach the screen still. If you go too close in 3D you see the black lines.
One hot potato is chromecast ultra which is needed to stream 4K content from viaplay.se
Everything works but there is no way to use surround sound at the same time.
I've been talking to the helpdesk of every party involved.
Google, LG, Samsung, Netflix and obviously viaplay.
4K streaming in general work pretty nice. All my 4K blu-ray work fine. 3D blu-rays work well using LG glasses.
I now have 6 pairs of LG glasses so there should not be any problems with quantity.
When testing in trine 2 I realized that if I'm too close to the TV I experience ghosting in the corners.
To test this further I wanted to try the original Mirror's Edge but I can't seem to get the 3D driver to engage.
It's frustrating as it seems to work with my ASUS VG278H on my 11 years old computer.
My new computer is now 3,5 years old and my sound system is from 2011. A Samsung home cinema system.
Due to new standards and all my stuff being very old it's getting tricky to even get surround sound to work like before.
Having 8 consoles hooked up requires a pretty solution. Just running 2 monitors creates a diffent arrangement.
The standard option for 3D TV are 720p60, 1080p24 and 2160p60 interlaced. 1080p60 is painfully absent.
If you go for 720p you can get higher framerates and might even be able to max out graphical settings.
As I still have my single GTX 980 1080p60 in witcher 3 was very demanding on 3D Vision.
Seems like 1080p24 is borderline playable due to low frame rate the remaining option is 720p60.
One thing I don't like is that it's a bit of a pain to switch between interlaced and 3DTV Play.
I'm really looking forward to a new graphics card which would perform well in 4K gaming in 2D and 3D as well as VR. Right now I need to stop buying stuff for a while so I can afford the next big thing.

Wow 8 consoles, and I can barely handle my steam backlog XP

None of the consoles have been bought new and my NES is currently almost not working at all.
I had a NES when I was young but we sold it along with all the games.
Fast forward and I bought first Xbox 360 which I upgraded from 20GB to 120GB.
Later I bought an US first gen PS3 which could play US PS2 games.
It died pretty quickly and I now have an european PS3 Slim.
After this I started focusing on retro gaming.
NES, SNES, Mega Drive II, N64, GC, PS2 (all of these are connected to an RCA switch so everything is ready to use with little delay. Before I got my first TV I was using my DELL monitor to play classic games.

Hello Flugan. I also have classic consoles all hooked up via switch boxes. I pretty much have all the major classic consoles. I have them hooked to two CRT tv's. One of which has RGB so I can use component for my gamecube and xbox og. Have yet to get some of those cables for my PS2 and Dreamcast, but it's on the to do list. Glad to hear someone here gaming retro! Now I can't recommend these enough: EVERDRIVE CARTS! I have one for my Genesis/MegaDrive, NES, and SNES. They're so great. Can put games, hacks, and homebrew on them to play on real hardware. Cuts down on wear and tear for the consoles too! They're kind of expensive, but I bought one at a time over a couple years, and never regretted it. :)

Sounds very prone to piracy.
If you have a real cartrige why would you want to dump your own game and play the copy on real hardware.
Should still say thanks for the tip.
Mostly because I can't afford much of the real cartridges anymore. That shit is getting EXPENSIVE! Which enables me to play games I'd never otherwise be able to play. Also, classic games profits are not going to original developers at all, so as far as piracy thing goes... it's a grey area. Also like I said before, it cuts down on insertion and removal of cartridges. That's metal on metal, it wears out. Games wear out, console connectors wear out. If you have one cart in there with all your games, you never need to remove or reinsert it, therefore prolonging durability. There is also quite the homebrew and romhack scene, and some of those hacks are quite fun and hilarious to play, and doing it on real hardware is always better. It is what it is, and you'd have to make your own judgements about everdrive carts. But I think they're a great way for classic game players to keep their systems alive and well.

Flugan, old games could stop working at any moment. Better dump them as soon as possible if you can.
That said, I prefer using RetroArch on my PC 100 times more than using consoles. G-Sync, ULMB, resolution, scaling, shaders, etc.
My NES for instance is PAL and means it works with all PAL cartriges.
This means playing in 50hz interlaced.
With the possible exception of PS3 emulation most of normal emulation is piracy. Pretty much. It's not 100% legal.
Sony offers PS3 firmware on their homepage and you can read most PS3 discs on your PC.
My computer is too slow for emulating PS3 and as far as I know real hardware is faster and supports a lot more games.
Just because buying used games don't affect the developers don't give me the right to download ripped games online. For instance many GC games have been ripped by THE SCENE. I'm assuming that everybody is aware of the scene with SkidRow being responsible for cracking the Lemmings protection on amiga back in 1991 for instance.

Why wouldn't just store away those old consoles and use emulators? If you own the hardware and the game what's the problem?
i7-4790K CPU 4.8Ghz stable overclock.
16 GB RAM Corsair
EVGA 1080TI SLI
Samsung SSD 840Pro
ASUS Z97-WS
3D Surround ASUS Rog Swift PG278Q(R), 2x PG278Q (yes it works)
Obutto R3volution.
Windows 10 pro 64x (Windows 7 Dual boot)
They are already stored away neatly but connected to power and close enough to the TV to play any of them without hassle. Switch makes it easy to switch console with a single wire going to the TV.
Why would you use emulation if you have the real deal which by definition works 100% correct. Buying an expensive game and then downloading the same game and never touching the real game feels very wrong. Not to mention that it's illegal to download games like this as far as I know. Note that different countries have different laws. Here in Sweden it started by being illegal to upload and it has been extended so it is illegal to download as well. Only curious aspect is that it is completely legal to stream video regardless of if the website itself is legal or not.
