Graphics cards and Monitors for the shack/ DXLabs
|
I hope this is not too far off topic.? I'm researching graphics cards and monitors to upgrade my shack to have more DXLabs and WSJT-X?windows.? My current monitor is a TV/Monitor that just does not offer enough room for much more than WSJT-X or DXKeeper.? I do understand that I do not need all windows open at once to be able to use DXLabs.? I gave my daughter my old monitor and it allowed so much more on the screen while maintaining good detail.
My problem is I have not yet been able to define the use case so I can decide which combination of capabilities is best for ham radio.? There is a good general reference on this subject in the DXLab references.? Written by? Dave, W6DE, it is:? ?
My computer?has an Intel UHD 730 graphics card (max resolution is 1920 x 1080p but 1360 x 760p is recommended).? It may well be too basic for a UHD or 4K monitor (3840 x 2160p), and I'm not yet convinced that a QHD 1440p monitor will meet my needs.? I'm seeing UHD graphics cards designed for gaming or photo editing that seem to cost as much as a monitor.? I'm doubting that hams need all that graphics power but I don't actually know what capability I need to have.? My real goal is to be able to place most of the DXLabs windows up at once with enough sharpness to read all the details.
I'm looking to understand what is needed in a new graphics card to match a 4K/UHD or a 1440p monitor without breaking the bank, grin.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks Rich, NU6T
