Kevin G - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkOn the Windows site of things, what video card and driver was used? How AMD and nVidia handle MST support varies slightly so you might have better luck with one over the other. Reply
Samus - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWow, $2800 bucks...you can have a whole WALL of ZR2740w's for that price. Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - link... or a wall of U28D590D for $699 each. 60Hz TN 4K. I'm glad to see the major players offer up affordable 60Hz 4K. Of course, I'd rather have 120Hz 4K DP1.3. Doesn't matter if you can't play games, it would be of tremendous value to me just for desktop operations. Reply
Gunbuster - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkOr you could run 4 39" 4K's at 1080p 120hz in multi-monitor and still have 4k resolution and some change left over...
Bad pricing is bad. Reply
WithoutWeakness - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkIf I'm correct in assuming you're talking about the 39" Seiko TV then I must inform you that those are not 120Hz screens in the same sense that a computer monitor is 120Hz. Those Seiko TV's only take an HDMI input which is currently limited to 4K@30Hz. They then interpolate frames between frames of source material to give the illusion of 120Hz. A 120Hz monitor takes in a 120Hz signal and displays it natively. There are currently no 4K 120Hz monitors on the market (there aren't even any 2560x1600 120Hz monitors I'm aware of). Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThe 50" Seiki 4K TVs do native 120Hz 1080p over HDMI 1.4, but it seems to be a lottery as to whether it needs to be hacked or not. While this resolution is not officially supported, creating a custom EDID makes it possible. In addition, several people have been loading the 50" firmware on the 39", making native 120Hz 1080p possible there as well. So you can have your desktop and videos at 30Hz 4K (not ideal, but still razor sharp) while also gaming at 120Hz 1080p. Some are claiming 720p at native 240Hz... but I'd have to see that to believe it.

houkouonchi - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkAll seiki 50 inch displays will natively display 1080p@120Hz. The 39 inch models all will to (with a firmware update). The 39 inch monitors with the firmware update do pixel doubling which means ideal scaling for gaming (almost identical to gaming on a big 1080p display with no scaling artifacts).
Both the 50 inch (and 39 with the right firmware) will accept 720p@240Hz. It sitll only displays 120Hz but this does halve the input lag from around 9ms to 4.5 ms which is why for games where it really matters (only quakelive for me) I ran at 1280x720@240Hz. Reply
marcosears - Thursday, October 09, 2014 - linkIt's nice, but it could be a lot better! /Marco from http://www.consumertop.com/best-monitor-guide/ Reply
dave_rosenthal - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkActually, the 39" inch Seiko *does* accept 1080@120hz over hdmi (when flashed with the firmware from 50" Seiko) and output all individual 120 frames per second (it looks very smooth!). You're right that it's limited to 4k@30hz. Reply
inighthawki - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkEnjoy your massive bezel and spanning content across monitors. Reply
Samus - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkFor <$400 and 2560x1440, I'll take a thick (matte finish) bezel with an IPS panel. Infact, I'll take 6 of them and keep the change instead of buying a "Dell"
Samsung just announced a direct-competitor to this monitor for $800 starting price. So maybe just 3 of those and keep the change, and they have a razor thin bezel and aluminum frame construction.
I mean...I just can't get over the price here. $2800 bucks. It's not even worth $1000. Reply
inighthawki - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkAre you referring to the ud590? It's hardly a "direct competitor." It's not only 4" diagonal smaller but it's a TN panel, and lacks quite a few input types. Or are you referring to the ud970, in which case would you please post a source to the $800 price tag, which sounds unlikely.
On top of that, remember that you then need 2 video cards to power 4/6 monitors (nvidia supports 4 but only in span with the fourth as an "extra" display) so you won't even be able to tile them properly by default. On top of that have fun trying to play a game across all the monitors. At least with a single 4K display you can render at 1080p and have a seamless scaling across the entire display. With 4 or 6 monitors you'd have to run it in the standard "eyefinity" style 3x1 configuration which is nice, but also will cost you with resolution. At that point you're going to need not just two GPUs, but likely two high end GPUs. When all is said and done I don't think you'll save much once you take into account the disadvantages of the setup on top of the price. Reply
nevertell - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkYou have never been truly productive with a computer, have you ?
A multi monitor setup enables me to do things just that much faster. While you could argue that a 4K monitor would allow me to do stuff side by side on the same panel, at the end of the day, when the new resolution becomes the norm, you have to develop content for 4k. And the only way to see your results is to see them at 4k, so you have to have another panel. Single display setups are meant for lazy office people and content consumers. And even then, playing a game with a surround monitor setup is much nicer than having one large monitor.
People used the same kind of software back in the days of 1280 by 1024, 1024 by 768 and 800 by 640. And even though most of the software for today is written for 1080p or 1200p panels, the fact still remains, you cannot operate Visual Studio in half of that. Hell, it's a nightmare to run Visual Studio on 1336 by 768, let alone something like 960 by 1080p. Even though application UI's appear scalable, scaling them is a last resort. So yes, when we will catch up to 4K on the software side of things, we will need multiple monitors again. But yes, of course, for a web developer of today, being able to edit multiple stylesheets, javascript and html files at the same time AND seeing the result largely in scale is truly great. Unfortunately, most enterprise developers rarely need to edit countless files at once and the php/css people just simply will not be able to afford these displays. Reply
Sabresiberian - Sunday, April 06, 2014 - linkWhat do you mean by "run 4K at 1080p"? That makes no sense.
If you are talking running those 4 monitors to get a total screen space of 3840x2160, sure, you could do that, but you entirely miss the point of having a high-density monitor. The pixels on a 39" 1080p screen are the size of a truck. Maybe suitable for using as a TV viewed across your living room, but not as a monitor a couple of feet from your face. Reply
mczak - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkA wall of TN panels is fairly pointless if you can only see the center one due to the poor viewing angles :-). Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkAdobeRGB vs. sRGB, HiDPI vs. Regular DPI, Apples to Oranges Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI tested with both Nvidia and AMD cards and had the same issues with both. Reply
toncij - Sunday, April 06, 2014 - linkYes, that information could help, since not every test was done on Nvidia/AMD and the same driver. Also, it would help a lot to hear if those problems also happen with ASUS and Sharp, to compare those products. Anandtech made a review already: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7157/asus-pq321q-ult...

jasonelmore - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWhere the hell is HDMI 2.0? Its done and being produced, why isnt it in these new devices? Reply
SunLord - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkIt takes more then 6months to go from a finished standard to fully certified working silicon let along shipping it in quantities to enable mass production of consumer devices. Reply
willis936 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI'm not sure this is right. Companies usually are making and testing IP while a standard is in the works. In some cases they're out before the standard is done. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThis is correct. There is currently no full HDMI 2.0 silicon out there that I'm aware of, and since the Dell started shipping last fall it certainly didn't have access to it then. There are currently devices shipping that claim "HDMI 2.0" support in the AV world, but that isn't full HDMI 2.0. It is support for 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, which is part of the HDMI 2.0 spec, and enabled UltraHD resolution at 60 Hz. Since computers don't use chroma subsampling, this isn't relevant and there is no HDMI 2.0 silicon right now. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkNot even Maxwell can output it, so what sources are you suppose to use? Reply
BMNify - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkwhere you get that idea from , its false you need a GeForce 600 "Kepler" graphics card or newer to drive a display up to 4096 x 2160.
hell, even the ChromeOS guys have merged this linux UHD patch in to their tree now...so intel Haswell/Iris Graphics work at "UHD-1" 3840x2160P if you are not gaming http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2014-Januar... Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkYou can do that resolution at 24 Hz, or 3840x2160 at 30 Hz, but you can't do it at 60 Hz without MST right now. HDMI 2.0 allows it at 60 Hz but that isn't available yet on a product. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI was speaking about 600MHz HDMI not ~300MHz. 300MHz HDMI has been around since GCN 1.0 and Kepler. It's also available in Haswell, works fine in Windows, OS X or GNU/Linux at that res, but that limits it's to 30Hz for 3840x2160. That's not HDMI 2.0 specs. You can't use anything else than DisplayPort for 60Hz 4k/UHD. DisplayPort-receivers only do that on MST too. You need two 300MHz HDMI-ports to do UHD @ 60Hz. So gaming in UHD with HDMI is out regardless of gpu/source.
Maxwell doesn't do H.265/HEVC for that matter either. You only need ~300MHz HDMI 1.4 to do 4096x2160 @ 24Hz. Not HDMI 2.0, that can do it @ 60Hz. Reply
zanon - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkAs far as things that still aren't there, I'd throw in color space (both gamut and bit depth) as well. Official UHDTV (see Rec. 2020), beyond the resolution standards bumping to 4K or 8K, also at last features a significantly larger color space and also the depth necessary to go with it (either 10-bit or 12-bit). That's another marquee feature of HDMI 2.0, 12-bit 4:2:2 4K@60fps. Without the increase depth a wider gamut isn't a straight upgrade since the delta between colors increases too, 8-bit AdobeRGB say isn't a clear superset of 8-bit sRGB. It's exciting that as well as HiDPI we'll finally see an industry wide shift to a color space that will be a strict improvement and is large enough to basically be "done" as far as human vision.
There's still a lot more pieces needed on the PC side though, including both hardware (video cards, interconnect) and OS/applications. High DPI is slowly improving, but even Apple has slipped a bit in terms of color management and support. That said, given the economies of scale that'll come with the general UHDTV push the market pressure should be there at least. Reply
npz - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - link"Sure, you can run a desktop at full resolution with no scaling but that is almost impossible for anyone to actually use. To get any real benefit from any HiDPI display you are going to need OS and Application support."
I don't understand this thinking. To fully utilize all the pixels at your disposal, why would you scale? You want native 1:1 resolution. It makes NO sense to scale. If you can't make out the details with the finer pixels with your eyes, why bother getting more pixels in the first place?
Objective utilization of higher resolution requires ability for your eyes to *resolve* the pixels better, which means its purpose is for screen real estate of display items, not to scale the picture on this 4k monitor to the same size as seen on a 1080p monitor.
4k on 32" monitor at 1:1 pixels is very useable, if you don't have bad eyesight. If you need to scale, meaning your eyes can't resolve well at this pixel density, then why not just get something like 2560 x 1440 instead at the same size? Plus you'll have the added benefit of avoid distortion and blurriness introduced from scaling bitmaps. Reply
peterfares - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkHe doesn't mean scaling as in stretching it out, he means more intelligent scaling like all phones and newer desktop programs do.
Interface elements are composed of more pixels to increase clarity and keep them big enough to be usable. If Photoshop worked well with HiDPI systems the buttons physical size would remain the same but be made up of more pixels. The photo work area though would be 1:1. Reply
npz - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWhat I mean is why scale? Why not have everything proportionate to the DPI to actually utilize the extra pixels? But adding extra pixels to interface elements doesn't actually add extra detail that was not there to begin with. It's not like a photograph. It just adds extra pixels for the sake of increasing size. Even if adding extra pixels to the interface elements increases "clarity"--let's assume it's something like a highres texture--that means your eyes can resolve the details better i.e. actual perceive the difference in resolution. So if your eyes can actually resolve the difference in detail at a finer level, why not just keep them small in order to gain more useable working space? That's where real utility comes in.
Most applications like the majority of graphics and audio applications using their own custom UI don't use vector graphics. They instead use bitmaps with pixel level precision placement and bitmap fonts in order to have small widgets. Most of these, DAWs, 3D, Adobe-like programs, etc pack a ton of things in the interface. Why not take advantage of the resolution for more working space then? Reply
datobin1 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWithout scaling on High DPI screens text becomes so small that it is not legible at worst or really uncomfortable to read. With proper scaling text looks much nicer on a high DPI screen. Look at 1080p phones as an example, text looks great.
If you want to see the need for scaling, remote desktop to your computer from a 1080p phone. You'll have a full 1920x1080 desktop but it will not really be usable. Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI've been playing with the Dell UP2414Q and it is razor-sharp and legible without scaling at exactly the same distance that I had my 24" FW900 located - about 30" away. Spreadsheets look particularly incredible! Reply
peterfares - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThat's not comfortable or even possible for everyone Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWell those people don't have to buy it. I don't believe that I have Superman-esque vision, but maybe those people that can't read the text need a newer prescription for their glasses. I know I wouldn't be able to enjoy 4K without my cheaters... I can barely enjoy 1080p at that distance without them. Reply
seapeople - Thursday, April 03, 2014 - linkThis monitor is at 140 dpi. The phone you're speaking of is likely well over 300 dpi. There's a difference. 140 dpi does not require superhuman vision to see without scaling, more like somewhat "normal" vision. Reply
peterfares - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkPhone is much closer to my face than my monitor. Reply
basroil - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkPhotoshop does work just fine as long as you enable OpenGL and use Windows 7/8 with custom DPI settings.
But I'm with npz, you don't get a 4k monitor to limit yourself to 2k spaces. The only reason to use 4k at all is to tile your windows (or for use in CAD, but most CAD work is better on 2x 1600p because it's easier to drive with cheaper cards). Reply
vshah - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkthe point is that UI elements should scale to a comfortable size while content that needs hidpi should display in hidpi.
in photoshop for example, tools & menus will be nicely sized, while the image you are working on will display using native resolution...this is the way it works on OSX. Reply
Accord99 - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkOnly after Adobe updated it to work with HiDPI.
Just like it will work fine on Windows once Adobe gets around to updating it, just as Adobe Lightroom 5 already works fine at HiDPI. Reply
houkouonchi - Friday, April 04, 2014 - link100% agree here. The problem is people are pussies and god forbid the text is smaller than what it is on a 96 DPI screen and it suddenly becomes unreadable. Dude there are people who say 3840x2160 on a 39 inch seiki is to small... Give me a break. I used 3840x2400 on a 22 inch LCD since 2005 and that was on linux with X set at 75 DPI (smaller than windows 96) which made stuff even smaller and I had absolutely *no* issues using it 40 hours a week at work. Reply
peterfares - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkDid you test it on a Windows computer other than the one you pictured? Because that one is 8.0, not 8.1 which added multi-DPI support. Reply
datobin1 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkCorrect, 8.0 has static scaling across all displays. 8.1 introduced different scaling for each display.
This works very well for surface pros that are docked. It will scale the surface pro display at 150% and the extra monitors at 100%. If you move a window between the displays the screen with the majority of the window will decide the scaling for that window. As you pull it from one screen to the next you will see the window change its scaling factor. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkYes, I tested with both Windows 8.0 and 8.1. I just happened to have rebooted into Windows 8.0 when I took the photos but I tested both. Reply
MrPete123 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkHey Chris, I have the similar UP2414Q and have the same issues of having to "reboot" the monitor frequently when waking my computer up from sleep. You said you were able to update your firmware for the 32" monitor. Is there one for the 24" model as well? I was not able to find one. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI'll update the article but I got the firmware from Dell. You would need to return your monitor to them and exchange it for a refurbished model with the updated firmware it sounds like. Reply
aron9621 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWhere did you get the firmware update from? I own a UP2414Q and experience the issues you described in your article (the need to power cycle the monitor most of the time after the computer goes to sleep is driving me crazy), but I couldn't find a firmware update on Dell's site. Reply
davepermen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWindows can scale each display independently. Most desktop apps don't support that yet and get blurry. But Windows itself is definitely there and works just fine. Now it's the app developers who have to step up. Reply
aron9621 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThey claim in can, but it doesn't work properly. I have two displays connected to my computer, a 2414Q (2160p) and a 2414H (1200p). I can either say I want to use the same scaling for both displays, in which case I am allowed to specify the DPI scaling, or I can choose to use separate scalings for the monitors, which is utterly broken - Windows guesses ("detects") the proper DPI scaling and if I am not satisfied it allows me to scale both display simultaneously, but not separately, which is kind of brain dead, especially since it doesn't guess (ehm.. detect) the DPI properly on the 4k display. Aside that, using the same (200%) scaling on both screens breaks some DPI unaware applications, but letting Windows use separate DPI scalings breaks most DPI unaware apps. In either case, the 1200p screen is useless as everything is too big, or the 4k display has elements so tiny you can't work with it without a magnifying glass. Why I can't simply state I want to have 180dpi on screen 1 and 100dpi on screen 2 is beyond me. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThat's still not true.
If you set your primary display to 120% and your secondary to 200% the 200% will actually be 120% bitmap scaled. Or wise versa. One screen will always look rubbish and blurry. Read what Microsoft says instead of broad claims! Reply
BMNify - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - link" With PremierColor, your monitor provides superb color accuracy and 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB coverage."
this is an April fool right ! at $3,499/$2800, under no circumstance is any real certified UHD-1
Rec. 2020 real color space 10bit per pixel "UHD-1" 3840x2160P 16:9 ratio panel going to give you only 99% AdobeRGB at best

cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI don't believe I ever said it has full Rec. 2020 coverage. Nothing has Rec. 2020 coverage as aside from lasers (I've been told), nothing can produce the gamut required. Not LEDs, not quantum dots, nothing. The display claims AdobeRGB and sRGB gamut which is what it has. Reply
BMNify - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - link"Nothing has Rec. 2020 coverage as aside from lasers (I've been told), nothing can produce the gamut required. "
:) he is wrong OC as they would not and could not ratify the 2020 spec if they could not already produce the results it lays out, the guy was probably trying to sell the Mitsubishi LaserVue panels with their use a laser for red and regular LED's for blue and green...
rather than just state they can ill point you to this page as you will probably find it interesting... the quantum dots and the M3 film are cool too
for the less interested ill just add this paste...
"Rec. 2020
Much like with Rec. 470, Rec. 601 and Rec. 709 the Rec. 2020 standard is more than just a color space. It is the standard for Ultra High Definition Television (UHD-TV), which knows two versions: 4K (3840x2160 and 4096x2160) and 8K (7680x4320 and 8192x4320). Apart from the obvious improvement in resolution over the Rec. 709 standard, the Rec. 2020 standard also improves upon its predecessor in many other ways. The maximum frame rate doubles from 60 Hz progressive to 120 Hz progressive (interlaced resolutions are no longer supported, which is good). The color depth also increases by at least 2 bits per channel, with the possibility of 4 bits. Because Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 both use studio swing /narrow band, this does not result in the usual 16.8 million, 1.07 billion and 68.7 billion colors though.
Bit depth per channel
Reference black level
Reference white level
Usable combinations per channel
Total number of colors
Last but not least, the Rec. 2020 offers significant improvement over the Rec. 709 standard when it comes to the color gamut: nearly twice the size of its predecessor. It uses three monochromatic primaries with wavelengths of 630, 532 and 467 nm. This results in a very large gamut, but without most of the drawbacks of even larger color spaces like the Adobe Wide Gamut RGB color space.
Most of the thought process behind the origin of these primaries can be found in ITU Recommendation BT 2246-2:2012. The summarized version is that UHD-TV should have a larger color gamut in order to cover the real surface colors (based on Pointer's gamut and SOCS database) as much as possible using real primaries."
what is clear is that much like the PCISIG the ethernet SIG etc the panel entities are also not fit for purpose as they dragged their feet actually producing new panels and ened to end kit to the latest specs that where in effect made by NHK and the BBC R&D... Reply
tjoynt - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkFor my data point: using the Mac 10.9.3 with HiDPI on an UltraHD display is gorgeous. If you have a Mac that can handle it (I have a 2012 Macbook Retina, as a reference point), you should definitely try it. It's like the retina display but huge. My eyes are finally happy. Reply
BMNify - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linktjoynt, find the best visual quality "2001 A Space Odyssey Opening in 1080 HD" or higher clip you can find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-QFj59PON4 and play that , tell us you cant see the ringing due to the 8 bit per pixel pseudocolor, that why we need Rec. 2020 color space, in fact 10bit isnt really enough as it takes 11bit's or more to get true real colour but consumers have to make do for a reasonable price (this is not reasonable) Reply
Panzerknacker - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWay too high input lag, useless display tbh.
I guess displays like this are for the niche market where people will buy it anyway to show off. There simply isnt much engineering behind a screen like this anway, they just slap a 4k panel and some electronics into a box and call it a 4k display. The many unacceptible flaws listed in this review prove this point. Reply
CSMR - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThe Windows dpi comments are exaggerated.
This monitor is not ultra-high dpi. It is just high dpi. The 4k is just a good resolution for 32".
150% is a suitable dpi setting in Windows for this monitor.
People using this monitor will typically not be using it with other screens at the same time, or low res monitors. The typical uses will be as a single screen connected to a desktop, or to a laptop. 150% might also be suitable for a good laptop screen, say 1080p 13".
Also most software has worked well with high dpi settings in Windows for several years.
The only problem with windows is the lack of per-screen dpi but the extent to which this poses a problem with this screen is exaggerated. The pixel-war 4k resolutions for small screens, e.g. 24", are more likely pose a problem because they would require a dpi setting close to 200% which would be very inappropriate for most other screens. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThe problem is if you use this as the primary monitor in Windows with 150%, say your 27" 2560x1440 monitor that you run at 100% will be 150% bitmap scaled to 100% in Windows 8.1. If you choose you 100% screen as primary the results will be really disastrous. One screen will always look blurry and bad if you do not use the same scaling. Plenty of Microsoft's own software doesn't work decent with DPI-scaling and stuff like the browser ignores the native scaling and just scales by zooming. 24" 200% still produces some oddities even if it's your only screen. You can't really speak of any improvements here in Windows yet. OS X seems to do multiscreen better at least. Having different scaling on your laptop screen and external screen seems like a given to me. Reply
CSMR - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI agree that this is a problem in principle, but not so much here because:
- Using 32" and 27" is unlikely given the size of screens. (And using non-identical dual screens is not recommended anyway because of differing color profiles needed anyway.)
- 27" 1440p is quite high dpi. So if 150% is preferable for this monitor then 125% is preferable for 27". So you'd end up with things only slightly too large on the 27".
Coping well with screens at different dpis should be done but it is quite challenging for OSes and software and will take many years.
A gradual increase in dpi (as in this Dell) is the best approach at the moment IMO. Reply
Hxx - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkhey Chris, other reviewers found input lag to be less than 20ms. How come your results are so skewed? Aren't you suppose to use the best setting to test this? Why are u testing at a non native resolution? TBH you're better off not testing for it. Reply
BinaryTB - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkHe already mentioned why he's testing at non-native resolution, because most graphics cards (even the higher end ones), can't drive all games at high settings at a 4k resolution.
Makes sense to me, if I'm going to be playing at <4k resolution, that's where I want the input lag tested. Reply
apertotes - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkthere are many games that can perfectly be played at native resolution, like Civ 5, or FIFA, or WoW, or any 2/3 years old game. Also, he used HDMI at 30 hz instead of DP at 60 hz.
I do not see the point of giving figures if they are not the best the monitor can do. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkThe HDMI input is driving at 1080p at 60 Hz, not 30Hz. 30Hz would be if it was using a 4K signal. Tom's Hardware is measuring using a 1080p signal as well, so their results should be similar but they're using a high speed camera instead of the Leo Bodnar device. TFT Central measures it using SMTT which I find slightly odd as that would require a CRT that can do UltraHD resolution, of which I'm not aware of any.
I'm working on a better way for input lag but for right now it's a static test that is as accurate, and comparable, as I can make it. Reply
NCM - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkRegarding the unexpectedly high case temperature the author measured, I'd expect that to be a function of high pixel density, which blocks a greater proportion of the backlight. This in turn requires more backlight intensity to produce a given panel illumination. Reply
Taracta - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI don't know what is considered by many as HiDPI but this monitor is most definitely not HiDPI at just 140 DPI! I know that most highend monitors are ~ 100 DPI and common one are even lower but I don't see why 140 DPI would be such a big deal. Are the Icons that much smaller? Are the alphanumeric character unreadable?
I believe the the ridiculously low DPI of generations of monitor has made expectation of huge icons and lettering the norm and they are just not needed. You can see the icons and characters perfectly fine at 140DPI no scaling is needed! Reply
houkouonchi - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkYeah I think its just people set in their ways. Even when I had an out-dated prescription and saw worse than 20/20 I still would have no problem with that size. The only thing I can think of is that is just how most people have used computers and are stuck in their ways. I used 1600x1200 on a 17 inch CRT way back in the days (pre windows-2000) and soon after when I switched to linux I was 2560x1920 on a 22 inch CRT. It was even a bit blurry but it was still not a problem and that was 160 PPI. With a super sharp 140 PPI display why do people need scaling? I don't use scaling even on a 200 PPI+ display. Reply
JDG1980 - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkPersonally, I'd like to see a 39" 4K monitor, using the same VA panel in the Seiki TV but with a 60 Hz input. The Seiki TV is OK for productivity apps, but if you play any games or watch videos, as I do, then the low frame rate is a deal-breaker.
A 39" monitor at 4K would provide an absolutely huge workspace - you would no longer need a multiple monitor setup. And the DPI isn't much higher than a standard 27" 2560x1440 monitor, so you don't need to use the Windows scaling that so many applications still don't do properly. (Microsoft really needs to do something about this - right now they seem content just to hope everyone eventually moves to Metro, which they aren't and won't.) Reply
sk317bge - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkChris H. - does the Dell preset for Game exist? On my 24", the Game mode has less lag (by many milliseconds), with a tradeoff that the color is a bit too overdriven. Reply
GTVic - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkMay be UltraHD in comparison to a TV, but 138 DPI is something I would sneeze at. A 50% increase in pixel density compared to a standard 16:10 24" monitor with 94 DPI is not enough. Reply

praeses - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkYou mention the usefulness of contrast over brightness in this instance. As LED monitors do lose a notable amount of brightness over time, are you able to re-test the brightness of a monitor that you have previously tested and recorded the numbers on and report the differences?
I suspect over the long term having a monitor that can go brighter than needed may be more useful than suspected. Reply
Human Bass - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkIt was looking quite decent, but that lag, wow, seems like a motion blur city. Reply
cjl - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkLag does not cause motion blur. Lag is how long a display takes to react to an input, and is usually (in the case of displays like this) caused by a delay in the image processing circuitry in the display itself. Motion blur on the other hand would be caused by a slow pixel response time (where the pixels themselves take a long time to change states after the display has already begun to refresh). Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkI'm more looking for the 28" Dell one, much better price/performance for me. 600€ is nearly as much as I paid for my 1440p monitor not that long ago. Incredible. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkOn the topic of HiDPI and scaling: I have a 11.6" 1080p laptop (XE700T1C) and have no issue with it running at 125% and that is with using my finger most of the time (I only use the pen when I am already holding it because of note taking). 11.6"@1080p is 190 DPI, this is just 140. Unless you are using multiple monitors and suffer issues because of that, you need to get your eye sight fixed if you have having "high DPI" trouble with modern Windows . Reply
Bob-o - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkWould love to see Anandtech evaluate all products on linux. . . at least a 1 paragraph "I tried it" kind of thing. . . Reply
houkouonchi - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkI tested this monitor on linux. Works better on linux than all the rest because of the MST BS. On linux you just set it in a config file and never have problems and you don't have to worry about drivers 'dancing' their way around the problem. Not only that only on linux allows both GPU and monitor scaling of all resolutions while the display is in MST mode. People can't get scaling working at all on this on windows when the display is in MST mode.

lord solar macharius - Tuesday, April 01, 2014 - linkJust FYI - these issues have all know since the monitor went on sale last December. Dell's stance currently is if you want one with a fixed firmware you have to give up your new monitor and accept a refurbished replacement.

dgingeri - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - link"Sure, you can run a desktop at full resolution with no scaling but that is almost impossible for anyone to actually use."
I use a 27" WQHD (2560X1440) monitor without any scaling, and it works beautifully. That's ~109DPI. It's not that much harder for a 32" UltraHD monitor to do the same. The DPI for that monitor calculates out to about 137DPI. I don't agree that it would be "almost impossible for anyone to actually use." Reply
nquery - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkThe key is having good OS support for HiDPI. This is at least coming to OSX in 10.9.3.
I have a 2013 retina MBP driving a Dell UP2414Q on 10.9.3. It works really really well. I have it set to 2x scaling most of the time ("Retina" in Apple parlance) and so have a super super crisp display for software development/text all day long. I don't game much but all apps work perfectly. It is like looking at a 24" recent smartphone, iPad. The only issue I have is that on occasion the display will not wake from sleep, but a quick cycle of the monitor power button resolves its and all windows return to where they were. Once Dell fixes the firmware for this I will likely exchange it. Otherwise the build quality and image is superb.
Before people chortle that it is waste to have an OS scale a 4k monitor to 1080p, remember that even though the effective resolution is 1080p for text with OS X scaling, the full 4k resolution is still available for use by imaging apps, games, etc. And sometimes I simple change the OS scaling to provide a 2560x1440 desktop if I need more 'real estate'. But my primary goal with HiDPI is to finally have crisp, sharp readable text on a big screen. 4k @ 32" is not about HiDPI, it's about desktop real estate. So it depends on what your needs are.
fyi, I was recently able to buy the 24" Dell Ultrasharp for < $1000 all in with some careful shopping. That's a few hundred more than the recently announced Samsung UD590 but it's far nicer IPS panel. Reply
CalaverasGrande - Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - linkI don't know what is wrong at Dell. They never had the industrial design chops of Apple or IBM/Lenovo's products. But they were still head and shoulders above the other PC and display makers. The current Dell displays are just ugly. Not talking bout the picture quality, rather it's chassis and stand.
Seriously, what is up with that hideous stand? There is not one angle that looks right on it. And the chassis with the silver and dark grey is very out of place on a $3k monitor.
The Lenovo UHD-4k designs are far more professional looking. Asus qhd/4k/uhd displays are also more pleasing in a Honda CRX kind of way.
Samsung and LG's professional offerings are similarly far less ugly.
I know it may sound trite, but hey, if I am sitting in front of it 40+ hours a week it matters. Reply

I use a flexible 2-foot ruler to measure circumference. I also bend it in various shapes to see what possible handles would look like on larger pieces. When I decide on a handle, I know how long it needs to be.
I bought a big, wooden triangle, the kind geometry teachers use with blackboards. It is very useful in handbuilding, weighs almost nothing, has a knob on the front to hold it, and does not stick to the clay. It was about five dollars on Amazon.

Thanks Wayne! I haven't even started wheel throwing but was wondering how I was going to figure that bottom thickness out. I will keep your tip ready to go when I start wheel work.
You can take 2 measurements. One form inside an done from outside.Use a thin stick (light weight so you do not damage your piece) an rest it at the top of the vessel. Measure inside depth and now move the vertical measuring stick to the outside of the vessel and you can see the difference.
I attepted to draw you a picture but the "code" tags do not work here correctly.

I bought a box of disposable icing bags and fill them with slip. Then I cut the tip off ( I can control the thickness by just cutting the tip ). And 'pipe' away with the slip
I don,t get as many air pocket splatters using them

I have only been throwing on the wheel for about 6 months. I still have a hard time telling how thick my bottoms are and how much to trim. Before I trim I would push an extra thin needle tool through the bottom of the pot with my finger tip against the tool. Remove the tool with finger tip still in place to measure how thick the bottom is. When I couldn't get my hand inside a narrow neck I took a small ball of clay, placed it on the end of the needle tool. As I pushed it through the bottom of the pot the ball of clay was pushed up the needle tool showing me the depth of my bottom. Does this count???

I use disposable icing bags, too! Though I also use the plastic collars and the frosting tips to get different effects. I also find that just cutting the tip makes it sort of flat, where the metal tips keep it more round.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/3/2013 (1609 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
From Hollywood classics to so-bad-they're-good cult films, from the director's chair to the theatre lobby, Owen King clearly loves the movies.
In his amusing debut novel, Double Feature, King follows Sam Dolan, a student and cinephile in New York State set to make his first feature. The ambitious film, titled Who We Are, has a clever time-shifting element that squeezes the four-year college experience into one meaningful night for a group of partying youngsters.
The story also examines the earnest Sam's relationship with his father, Booth Dolan, a boisterous character actor proud of his work in numerous exploitation movies with titles like Black Soul Riders, Hard Mommies, and Hellhole 3: Endless Hell.
Booth is best known for his only directorial effort, a B-movie classic called New Roman Empire, and his ability to be almost unrecognizable from film-to-film, thanks to his collection of prosthetic noses.
Embarrassed by his father's theatrical oeuvre, Sam is happily distanced from the older Dolan, whose feedback for his son's script is less than supportive.
Sam does, however, find support from investors, including one very generous former classmate, and even attracts an A-list actor named Rick Savini, a (fictional) regular in Coen brothers and Quentin Tarantino films, who has a strange hobby of collecting memorabilia from airplane catalogues.
Though his sights are set on making the Citizen Kane for his generation, something happens with Sam's film during post-production that takes it from a potential Sundance player to the kind of cult movie -- like The Room, Showgirls or Batman & Robin -- that inspires drinking games.
Flipping back-and-forth through decades -- from 1969 to 2011 -- the story moves from the early years of Booth's marriage to Sam's unfortunate career slide into that of wedding videographer.
King's obvious love and knowledge of cinema make for some very funny moments along the way, such as Sam's specialty in creating themed wedding videos for film buffs in the styles of grindhouse movies, French New Wave or even specific directors (one happy couple requests one in the style of western legend Sam Peckinpah).
Also amusing is a series of synopses for movies playing at a local multiplex that are quite believable despite their outrageousness, including The Pit, blockbuster about a giant sinkhole that swallows Las Vegas, Fair Share, a thriller about an IRS agent-turned-serial killer, and Cheeks, the story of a good-hearted potbellied pig that brings a family closer together.
Inspired by Orson Welles, Booth is the book's most interesting character. King may have had another inspiration for the character though, as he grew up with his own famous father -- legendary horror author Stephen King.
With its themes of high vs. low art and a son trying to move out of his father's shadow, it's possible that Double Feature is semi-autobiographical. Then again, maybe not -- the author's bio makes no mention of his larger than life dad, possibly because he wants to avoid this kind of comparison.
Overall, Double Feature takes a few too many detours in its storyline and is longer than it needs to be, but movie lovers will find quite a bit to appreciate in this entertaining debut.

Police in San Jacinto County continue to investigate the death of a mail carrier whose body was found in a burning car Friday.
The mail carrier was identified as Eddie "Marie" Youngblood, a United States Postal Carrier, who made rural delivery rounds in her own vehicle.
The San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call of a possible assault of a postal worker around noon on Friday in the area of Harrell Road near Highway 156 in Coldspring. When they arrived, they discovered a car on fire near a rural pumping station on Morris Creek.
The fire department was called to put out the blaze and Youngblood's body was then found inside of the car.
The woman worked out of the Coldspring office and delivered mail in the area.
Police said they are searching for a person of interest. James Wayne Ham is described as white, six feet tall, 145 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He is considered armed and dangerous.
When the Local 2 News crew left the scene Friday night, a San Jacinto Sheriff's deputy searched their van. He told them they were looking in every vehicle that left the neighborhood in case someone was trying to stow away and leave the area.
People who live near Harrell Road were also having difficulty getting home. The road remained shut down for several hours and no one was allowed down it without a police escort.
"I'm just trying to get home," said Kim Reed. "I'm scared. This is unnerving to me. It's so quiet and peaceful back here we never have any trouble."
Late Friday afternoon, a worker at the post office in Shepherd confirmed to Local 2 their office was briefly put on lockdown, but it's unclear if it was related to the incident in Coldspring.
"I figured something happened," said Kevin Jolly, who lives on Harrell Road. "They just didn't want to talk about it. They were pretty closed lipped."

As we all know, Victor Cruz is after a big, fat new contract…but unfortunately for Vic, fellow New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is also headed for a new deal. And the sooner Cruz realizes that Nicks is the one about to get the big boy money, the sooner he can hopefully come to a long-term agreement of his own with the team.
Cruz is merely a "restricted" free agent, and despite key players like Will Beatty and Kenny Phillips facing unrestricted free agency, it's Cruz whose contract talks dominate the news. By the time Cruz is really a free agent, after this upcoming season, Nicks will have just completed his rookie deal and also be gearing for the payday that is NFL free agency.
At one point, Cruz said deal was inevitable. Then, he promised no holdout. Well, maybe just a little holdout. The problem? Sounds like Cruz is asking for top dog money. And that money belongs to #88.
A recent ESPN report makes it pretty clear that the Giants are prioritizing getting a deal done with Nicks, who the team "views as a legitimate no. 1 receiver," over Cruz.
Giants owner John Mara said last week that he wants Cruz to remain a Giant, but at a reasonable price. "We certainly want him back, but like with any player, there's a limit to where we're going to go," the Giants' co-owner told reporters Friday. "He's been a terrific player for us, he's a fan favorite, he does a lot for our franchise, but there is a limit."
The Giants do a pretty good job of both valuing players and taking care of their own, so the fact that Hakeem Nicks is on the verge of getting huge money doesn't necessarily mean the Giants are going to lowball Cruz. There's still, we can only hope, a solid contract for Cruz somewhere coming down the pipeline. He's a phenomenal player and the Giants (and Eli Manning, for sure) certainly recognize his value.
But he's going to have to settle for the good contract…after the great contract goes to Nicks.
Calvin Johnson recently got $132 million for seven years from the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set last year's wide receiver free agent market by signing Vincent Jackson to a five-year, $55 million deal. Nicks' deal probably lands somewhere roughly in the middle of those.
Cruz's future with the team probably hinges on whether he really shoots for the stars or not. If he does, he's good enough that he'll quite possibly find a taker.
But here's to hoping he decides to settle in with Big Blue if they can come up with a good, albeit not eye-popping, offer.
The Giants can offer him a lot: he'll play across from a legitimate number one threat; he'll catch passes from a two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback; perhaps most importantly, he'll be in the biggest sports media market in the country.
They should be able to find common ground. But we'll see how that turns out once Cruz is forced to watch the kind of contract he was after go to Nicks.

Six Kings and Sultans from Aflao, a city in South Africa, converted to Islam in the presence of Libyan President Muammar Al Gaddafi. African kings, sultans, leaders and tribe headmen gathered together at a summit held in Tripoli, capital of Libya.The Aflao leaders expressed their joy because of converting to Islam.
Before the Aflao leaders repeated the Islamic testimony of faith (the Shahadah), Gaddafi explained the five pillars of Islam and said that Muslim Prophet Muhammed (saas) is the last Messenger of Allah sent to all of the humanity.
While inviting the new converted leaders to comply with the pillars revealed in the Qur'an, Gaddafi stressed the importance of reading the Qur'an and doing good deeds. Aflao leaders repeated the Islamic testimony of faith (the Shahadah) during the lecture and Gaddafi expressed his feelings by saying this was the blessing of Ramadan.

Straight off the shelf, most vehicles aren't appropriately set-up for people of short stature. Fortunately, PME has a whole suite of solutions to tailor-fit vehicles to make them easy and safe to drive. These include everything from access, seating and securing, to driving control and accessory function modifications.
|Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery
We have years of experience doing short stature conversions and we understand the differing requirements that each situation presents. We know that your challenges are individual and we treat them that way. Each individual will differ in height, mobility and range of motion, as well as in associated disabilities, length of torso, legs and arms etc, so each conversion is tailor made.
A short stature conversion can involve any of the following;
Foldaway pedal extensions
Removable pedal extension systems
Removable false floors
Modified seating
Steering modifications
Steering column modifications
Airbag disabling systems
Steering wheel modifications
- Other driving controls and accessory functions.
We do what we need to, in order to give you the optimal driving experience.
Give PME a call on (02) 9482 2808 to discuss what we can do for you
Mechanical linkages to allow for hand control of the brake and accelerator
Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery Gallery
High Quality, Professional Looking and Comfortable to Use
PME Hand Controls use mechanical linkages to allow for left or right handed control of the brake and accelerator. Our design offers a simple intuitive operation which incorporates the least fatiguing and most natural motion to apply the accelerator. They are comfortable and responsive to use.
At PME we achieve the best possible result with no, or minimal, modification to the vehicle's interior to retain the factory look. Quality is assured; PME hand controls are certified to Australian Standard 3954.2 for your safety.
There are two standard types available with different methods of operation;
The Push-Pull system operates with a push for the brake and a pull towards the driver for acceleration.
The Radial system operates with a push for the brake and a pat (downward push) for acceleration.
Hand Controls will generally be installed with a spinner knob for steering and accessory controls on the hand controls or on the spinner so that blinkers, head lights and other functions can be operated without removing hands from the wheel or hand control.
And Now Available: PME Knee Intrusion Air-bag Compatible Hand Controls
Previously, vehicle modifiers have been unable to install hand controls into vehicles with a Knee Intrusion Airbag. This is because it is necessary for the hand controls to run below the dash, and right across the air-bag, making them a hazard should the air-bag deploy.
Electronic Accelerators such as the Accelerator Rings and Electronic Radial do not have this problem as the mechanical brake bar can be routed around the airbag. This is the preferred option as all safety systems are maintained.
However, for the case where electronic controls are not preferable, PME have developed an exclusive Hand Control system that is compatible with Knee Intrusion Air-bags and satisfies current RTA requirements.This system features a removable connecting rod that temporarily disables the Knee Intrusion Air-bag ONLY while installed. This rod is removed with 30 seconds when an able-bodied driver takes the wheel and the Knee Intrusion Air-bag is re-enabled.
As increasing numbers of vehicles are incorporating this safety feature, PME are continually working on new developments in this area. However,we still advise that customers avoid vehicles fitted with Knee Intrusion Airbags as unfortunately this system comes at an extra cost. Please discuss your intentions with us before purchasing a vehicle with these Air-bags.
PME Hand Control Options and Features
- The device can be fitted with orthopaedic grips for higher level quadriplegia or PME also offers Custom Hand Controls if a unique solution is required.
- Hand Control modifications can optionally include flip-up pedals to improve the users safety. Flip-up pedals avoid the risk of the pedals being accidentally depressed when the vehicle is in use by the disabled driver.
- Indicators are generally located on the Hand Control unit to reduce the movement and so the risk involved in indicating. The indicators are self-cancelling so that they turn off after a manoeuvre has been made. Windscreen wiper, horn and high beam functions are also available from the Hand Control unit.
Designed for natural, low fatigue operation
- Designed to meet Australian Standards for your safety
Minimal modification to vehicle interior
Can be installed for right or left handed operation
Radial or Push-Pull systems available
Knee Intrusion Air-Bag Compatible Hand Controls Available

Department: Sheriff
Release Date: Sep 27, 2013
Contact Information:
Larimer County Sheriff's Office
Andy Josey, Public Information Officer
NEW INFORMATION FOR AFFECTED RESIDENTS ONLY as of 09/27/2013
Rain has forced the temporary closure of the access route known as Powerline Trail, between Bobcat Ridge Open Space and Storm Mountain area neighborhoods isolated due to flooding. Wet conditions are quickly degrading the trail in conjunction with the increased traffic of residents affected by the recent flooding. As a result the trail is closed until the area dries out and the trail can be inspected for damage. Repairs could be necessary before reopening.
Local property owners plan to continue working with flood victims that desire access as soon as trailconditions stabilize and needed repairs are made.
Resident credentials are required for anyone going behind the checkpoints and roadblocks. As a result, the Sheriff's Office will continue to remain at the gate at Bobcat Ridge to credential those needing access to their properties via this route. Personnel will be present tomorrow and through the weekend despite the temporary gate closure.
Individuals found behind the checkpoints and roadblocks without credentials will be cited. Patrols will be active in all areas. The Larimer County Sheriff's Office Posse is now patrolling the remote areas on horseback.

England have given a vote of confidence to the players beaten in painful circumstances by France by selecting the same matchday squad for Saturday's clash with Scotland.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster has kept faith with the 23 who were edged 26-24 in Paris on the opening day of the RBS 6 Nations Championship as the Red Rose team seek to reignite their title challenge.
Lancaster will announce his starting XV for the Calcutta Cup showdown at Murrayfield on Thursday morning, but it will almost certainly be an identical line-up.
"We were disappointed by the result against France, but very proud of many aspects of the performance," Lancaster said.
"We want to give the same 23 the opportunity to build on that against Scotland."
The only injury concerns that arose from the Stade de France were wing Jonny May's fractured nose and the cheekbone damage sustained by lock Courtney Lawes.
Lawes was passed fit on Sunday when it was revealed he had suffered only bruising and May was cleared to play in Edinburgh on Monday evening.
Wing Anthony Watson, fly-half George Ford and prop Matt Mullan travelled to Paris as reserves, but are among 10 players to have been released back to their clubs for the weekend's Aviva Premiership action.
"All the squad have been excellent in training over the last two days and I know those going back to play for their clubs will be determined to put a marker down for the subsequent Six Nations matches," Lancaster said.
There was much to admire in England's performance against France, not least the character displayed in turning a 16-3 deficit into a 24-19 lead that was overtaken three minutes from time by a brilliant converted try by substitute Gael Fickou.
Danny Care and Owen Farrell bristled with attacking intent, debutants Luther Burrell and Jack Nowell grew in stature and the pack were in control up front.
But it was a game England should have won and Lancaster has lamented the errors that cost them a shot at the Grand Slam - and possibly the title - for another year.
Having opted to stick with the same 23, the starting XV selects itself with Lancaster highly unlikely to deviate from those selected to lead the assault on the Stade de France.

Australian actor John Noble has joined the cast of the new US drama Sleepy Hollow.
Noble is best known for his work on the series Fringe, and for his role in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He has also starred in The Good Wife and 24.
Sleepy Hollow is the Fox network's reboot of Washington Irving's iconic American story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
It screens in Australia on the Ten Network.
Noble will play Henry Parrish in the series, a "kind and reclusive man" who possess supernatural powers. He will serve as an ally to the show's protagonist, Ichabod Crane [Tom Mison].
Sleepy Hollow is produced by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Heather Kadin, all of whom worked previously with Noble on Fringe.
Sleepy Hollow launched in the US earlier this month to an audience of 10.1 million viewers; it was the Fox network's most-watched autumn drama premiere in seven years.
In terms of scale its Australian audience is much smaller – about 600,000 viewers weekly – but it has been winning its timeslot, a significant windfall for Ten.

Former Bradford prop Brian McDermott insists it will not be an insurmountable task for his old club to bring back the glory days.
The Bulls are currently bottom of the First Utility Super League on minus two after having six points deducted for going into administration and losing their past five matches.
But they have launched an appeal to win back the docked points and coach Francis Cummins has been promised cash by the club's new owner to strengthen his squad for their battle against relegation.
Bradford, world club champions only eight years ago, will receive a reminder of their halcyon days when wing favourite Lesley Vainikolo returns to Odsal as a guest for Thursday night's derby with Leeds, whose coach McDermott would love to see their fortunes revived.
"I spent 10 years there and enjoyed it immensely," McDermott said. "I just hope they get back to where they used to be.
"Some tough decisions have to be made but I don't think it's as big a task as we imagine it to be.
" Leeds-Bradford derbies used to be big occasions and we all can't wait for the day that comes back. As it stands now, Bradford aren't where they want to be.
"They've been through a bit of turmoil but, regardless of that, they will be good against us. There will be a little spike in their performance and we've been preparing for a good Bradford all week."
Bradford have arguably the toughest Easter assignment in Super League, with Thursday's game against high-flying Leeds followed by a trip to reigning champions Wigan on Easter Monday.
"That's what you want, to be honest," Cummins said. "We want to be on top of our form and we know we've got to be as well.
"I'm seeing good signs in the team. We are looking quite good in training and we've just got to take it out on the field."
Thursday's match marks hooker Rob Burrow's 400th appearance for Leeds, while full-back Brett Kearney will bring up his 100th for the Bulls.
Lee Radford is no stranger to Hull derbies but his first as a head coach promises to be an emotional roller-coaster.
The 221st derby at the KC Lightstream Stadium looks too close to call with both Hull KR and Radford's Hull FC registering their best wins of the season last weekend.
"I t's two points but it's a special two points," Radford said. "It's a shot in the arm for the club if we can get a result and it's a shot in the arm for me because I can take my kids to school or rugby training without getting any stick.
"That's what the derby is when you live in Hull. It's a massive game around the area, however involved you are in the club."
In Thursday's other game, London Broncos seek to break their duck when Catalan Dragons visit The Hive.

The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).

With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Engineering challenges are fun activities that are frequently assigned to students in physics or engineering classes, but they can easily be used outside of these venues. An engineering challenge usually has a simple goal and some rules about what sorts of materials you are allowed to use. These are great ways to get people thinking creatively and to foster teamwork and competition. Try an engineering challenge at a birthday party, office outing, scout meeting, or any other gathering where you want to have fun and encourage creativity.
In The Bridge challenge, each team is given some building materials such as glue, toothpicks, popsicle sticks, or small pieces of wood. Each team should get the same amount of materials. The goal is to build a bridge that can span a 24-inch distance and support increasing amounts of weight. The bridge that can support the most weight before breaking is the winner.

Damascus must disclose chemical weapons stockpiles: Statement by Foreign Minister Westerwelle
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle today issued the following statement at the Federal Foreign Office on the further approach to the crisis in Syria:
While there are grounds for scepticism, the movement we have seen in the past few hours has increased the chance of a political solution in Syria. However, we have heard things from Damascus on various occasions before. What is needed now is for deeds to follow the words. In the light of the war and suffering in Syria, there cannot be any playing for time.
In the Federal Government's view, there are three important points:
1. If Damascus is serious, it should immediately accede to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which regulates the disclosure, control and destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles. Damascus could do that at once. We call upon Damascus to take that step without delay. Our aim is a prohibition, outlawing, supervision and finally the controlled destruction of all Syrian chemical weapons stockpiles.
2. It is now necessary to create transparency as quickly as possible. Damascus must put its cards on the table and disclose its entire chemical weapons stockpiles; above all, it must allow international experts to inspect its chemical weapons stockpiles.
3. It is clear that we must not allow ourselves to forget that the issue of responsibility for the terrible events of 21 August also needs to be clarified. For us, therefore, seizing the International Criminal Court of the matter of the use of chemical weapons remains on the agenda.
We must not forget that these latest developments do not yet bring an end to the suffering of the people in Syria.
We are not naive; only actions count. But we are convinced that, in this dangerous situation for Syria and for the entire region, no chance of reaching a non-military solution should be missed, no matter how small that chance may be. That is why Germany is emphatically committed to all diplomatic endeavours to reach a political solution.
On the question of the urgency of a United Nations Security Council Resolution, the Minister said: Zusatzinformationen
We can well imagine a UN Security Council Resolution. Talks about this are underway. At the moment it is a matter of making sure that there can be no playing for time. Something has to happen quickly so that the momentum provided by this new opportunity is not missed. Accession to the Convention could be a test of how serious Damascus is. All international efforts must continue unabated.

Like thousands before them, these Fairfax County Police (FCPD) officers and candidates hail from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages. The FCPD looks for candidates like these; honest, hard-working, diligent individuals who've heard the call to public service and decided to answer it.
The Fairfax County Police is now hiring and is accepting resume submissions for upcoming academy sessions later in 2013 and 2014.
While some officer candidates have backgrounds in criminal justice or security areas, many do not. According to Robert Fitzpatrick, Director of Personnel, "The FCPD is comprised of 1,400 sworn men and women and the agency is making strides towards diversity so we'll more accurately reflect the residents we serve; ethnically diverse, educated, and technology-savvy. In fact, our most recent qualification under the category of "preferred job requirements" is for candidates to be fluent in Spanish, Korean or Vietnamese. These languages are pivotal in conducting law enforcement duties in Fairfax County," he said.
Upon successful completion of a thorough background investigation, Fairfax County officer candidates undergo a rigorous six month training period at the Criminal Justice Academy. Complete with its own driver training track, classrooms, and firing range, the facility offers trainees all they'll need to perform the job out on the streets. Afterwards, new officers are paired with a field training officer for an additional three months; learning on the job from those with years of experience, wisdom, and advice.
Many officers enjoy working in the field of patrol for their entire careers; answering 9-1-1 calls for police service and assisting residents in need. Others, however, are attracted to the many specialty units within the FCPD and compete for spots on squads such as: computer forensics, crisis negotiations, fugitive apprehensions, language support, motorcycles, K-9, financial crimes, criminal investigations, or electronic surveillance.

Brave SailorsMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
We are brave sailors always riding the sea
We are less than one hundred but as tough as can be
We sleep in three bunkers on top of each other
Our numbers double from one bunker to another
We dance in joy all through the night
In groups of fives under the moonlight
Last night twelve of us were swallowed by waves
Leaving alive more than two third of the braves
Still we continue the journey refusing to fail
So tell me how many of us are left to sail?
Answer58 sailors are left.
1. From line 2: Total number of sailors is <100.
2. From lines 3 & 4: Let number of sailors sleeping in bunker 1 be X, then number of sailors sleeping in bunker 2 is 2X and in bunker 3 is 4X,
i.e. Total number of sailors = X+2X+4X = 7X and thus it is a multiple of 7.
3. From line 6: dancing in groups of fives means the total number is a product of 5.
4. From lines 7 & 8: 12 of the sailors drowned in the sea, leaving more than two third of the sailors alive, so the total number is > 36 (3 * 12).
Summing up all the above given information, the total number of sailors is <100 and >36, it divides by 7 and 5, which adds up to the total number of 70 sailors.
Since 12 of the 70 sailors died in the sea, there are 58 sailors left to continue the journey.
