For the needs of most people,The display is more important than the graphics card,A computer is the most intuitive contact with us is the monitor,If you don't play games,You can even not buy a graphics card,My second host i7 is equipped with a set of top-level mechanical dispersion,Wait until the end or buy a 4060ti to make do,But the monitor I have always chosen better。
Everyone is familiar with the brand of Thunderbird,It is a cutting-edge brand under TCL,Share the latest technology of TCL and the resources of Huaxing Optoelectronic Screen Factory,It is the king of volume in the TV field,Popular brand in the TV circle over the years,The outstanding thing is that it is cost-effective。
This time I chose the Thunderbird Q8, and the parameters of this monitor should be the ceiling of this price range.
If you only choose a monitor,The most recommended thing I recommend is the 34-inch fish screen,I've used,I also set them up with dual screens,Even three screens,The size I recommend now is single34,Or double 27,No matter how big it is, you can't see it,48This size is not suitable for playing competitive games,The large size is close to the top and bottom left and right to look at it will be tired,More suitable for playing3A,The habit of using the computer is generally comfortable to look at horizontally,So now it is fashionable with such a fish screen size,Whether it is immersion or productivity, you can take into account。
Evaluate the cost performance of a display,It's nothing more than a few core parameters,First of all, the resolution and refresh rate that everyone is familiar with,Secondly, screen technology,OLEDOR MINILED,Finally, color gamut、Brightness and other parameters,Let's take a look at ThunderbirdQ8Where is the cost performance reflected。
The first is panel technology, miniLED
In terms of grade, MiniLED is a high-end product in LCD screens, and no matter how expensive it is, only OLED, but there are not too many OLED displays at presentThe quality of the display look,The core is light control,The most direct judgment criterion is brightness and dark performance,MiniLED is to add a more dense LED display of lamp beads, more lamp beads can do more detailed light control, improve the problem of poor LED backlight uniformity, the display has been updated for so many years, in fact, it is all about playing light, and the development trend of technology in the future is not clear, at present, MiniLED may be the most suitable to buy high-end display styles.
ThunderbirdQ8It's not just miniled,And it's 1152Partition of miniled,I looked at a few JDsearch for the display under the miniLED,The number of basic partitions cheaper than Thunderbird is less,There are even not to mention the number of partitions,Propaganda is to avoid the heavy and light,ThunderbirdQ8It is a real 2304 lamp beads,1152 partitions。
This is followed by refresh rate and resolution
The refresh rate is the number of times the screen is refreshed per secondThe higher the refresh rate, the clearer the dynamic picture,Low refresh rate is easy to see dynamic picture shaking and flickering,60Hz is a second to refresh the 60 times of the picture,170Hz is a second to refresh the 170th picture,If you only watch movies,Play small games,It's no difference,But play 3A masterpieces,Especially competitive games,The effect is particularly obvious,High-end game monitors are all high refresh rates,Daily use of the web page can also be seen,Ordinary players have a budget of two thousand yuan,The refresh rate of the display is at least 120Hz,Unless it is a professional drawing monitor。
ThunderbirdsQ8It also supportGTG1msresponse,Ensure the response speed of the game,It also supports compatibilityFree-sync,G-sync,This is basically the standard configuration of the monitor within 5,000 yuan,Now except for some high-end professional game monitors, there is no hardware G-sync。
The resolution determines how fine the image details are, and the higher the resolution, the more pixels, and the sharper the image.
The resolution is generally expressed by parameters like 1024*768, and 1024 refers to 1024 pixels on a horizontal line, also known asNumber of horizontal pixels, a total of 768 lines, also calledNumber of vertical pixels
Once 1080p, in the case of 16:9 is 1920*1080, wherep stands for progressive scanThere are 1080 pixels in portrait orientation, and it doesn't matter how many there are in landscape orientation.
And the current 4K, in the case of 16:9 in length and width, is 3840*2160, 4Kk means that there are four equivalent pixels in the landscape direction1024 pixels is an equivalent pixel
34-inch ribbon fish displays are now advertised as quasi-4K, and the actual resolution is 3440*1440, including six or seven thousand 34 inches, all of which are this resolution, for now, you don't have to consider choosing this size4K,The advantage of high brush accuracy 4K is that the requirements for the graphics card are not so high.
Finally, there is brightness and color gamut
Thanks to MiniLED technology,ThunderbirdQ8It can reach1600nits peak brightness,Ordinary LCD displays are basically HDR 400 certification,Brightness to400nitsItsIt's almost,More than HDR500You need to have regional dimming,More than HDR1000You must have a brightness to1000nits,This is the three stages of DisplayHDR certification,Thunderbird Q8 has obtained HDR 1400 certification, which is basically a non-OLED ceiling.
By the way, there are only 10 series of products that have passed the VESA HDR1400 certification officially found, and Thunderbird Q8 and U8 are two of them. Query**:
In addition to brightness,ThunderbirdQ8Quantum dot wide color gamut technology,Achieve a wider color gamut,support97%DCI-P3,99%SRGB,In addition to professional displays on the market,This is basically the data to the top,Don't worry about hardware,And ThunderbirdQ8It also has the same service as professional displays,Each one has a special color correction reportQ8 also has Rheinland low blue light certification, which can adjust the blue light display ratio to reduce damage to the eyes for a long time.
List several core parameters,At this price Thunderbird Q8 is a cross-level crushing,The actual effect we will look at later。
My previous display was another store with a price of nearly 5K4K MiniLED flagship machine,Change to ThunderbirdQ8,The most direct feeling is that the color is in place,High brush is not delayed,But quasi-4K does have a certain gap,But if you have to 34 with fish,You can only choose quasi-4K。
The advantage of ribbon fish is that it can display more content on the same screen, as a content creation, you can split the screen while watching and writing, according to the current width of the web page, you can put two and a half, leaving a little space for instant messaging information.
Not to mention office excel, the mouse doesn't need a side-sliding scroll wheel, and the feeling of seeing it at a glance can be regarded as a productivity tool for the office.
The game experience chooses dota2,Many people say that the fish screen is hardware cheating,My interface,Put the hero in the middle and left a little bit of the position,You can see the rune point of the river on the right,The feeling of a wide field of view can't go back,Deal with the butcher、White Tiger This long-distance skill,As long as there is a field of vision, it will be better to hide,This is completely an operation done by instinctive reaction area,Of course, you have to have a larger field of view,The actual measurement of 48 inches is not good,Because it is enlarged in equal proportions of the 27 ordinary size,There will be no larger field of vision。
In this position, you can see the hero from drinking to eating runes, we can do some responses, in addition, there is also a small problem with the LCD ribbon fish, that is, look at this**I shot from the side, compared to the picture above, it will look a little grayer, of course, it is completely unaffected when you sit in front of you,This is also the advantage of curved screens,Thunderbird's Q8 curvature1500R,Except for outsiders who can't see clearly,It's all advantages to see it in the middle。
3A masterpiece performance,ThunderbirdsQ8It's also quite good,Thanks to the miniled's black control effect,It's a little worse than OLED,But just look at this game,The dark control is not much,The following is the last survivor1Reset,It's a more representative work of the real game,Specially picked a dark environment,Isn't the black place quite dark?
The interface of driving at the beginning of the game,The right side is basically pure black,The picture is particularly real,I'm playing on PS5+OLEDThe color TV is almost like that。
Recently, I've been playing with Horizon 5, and for colorful pictures, the Thunderbird Q8 also performs quite well, and the colors are normal.
Although**The refresh rate is very low,But it looks very smooth,The actual game screen is not slowed down,My graphics card is3070ti,Medium and high image quality can be controlled,2KThe advantage of high brush is here,Otherwise, how can tens of thousands of graphics cards be ...... withstanding
Thunderbird Q8The viewing effect is also very good,I have more than a few hundred movies on NAS,It's too wasteful not to watch it,How about the effect of this movie wall?
Open a movie casually,Another advantage of the fish screen is that he can put all the movie pictures on the screen,There is no black edge,Completely use the screen of the monitor,It's also a dark part,Is it as dark as the retina screen next to the ipad?
Most people don't pay much attention to the color gamut and color accuracy,If you have the need to take pictures and retouch,Then the color gamut and color accuracy are very important,Get used to a monitor,Continue to retouch the picture for something else,You will have an obvious feeling,The results of retouching before and after are different,This is because the general cheap monitor is not carefully adjusted from the factory,There are differences in color accuracy,You may only feel that the color is not very good-looking when playing games,But it doesn't affect it too much,But the difference in color grading has a very big impact on the end**,Just like you use the monitor to see** The color and brightness are not the same as those of a mobile phone.
ThunderbirdQ8The internal setting interface is also very easy to use and concise,Modify the display mode,Adjust the brightness can be easily operated,You can also adjust the light control of miniLED。
ThunderbirdsQ8It also supports Type-C 90W multi-function interface,The new notebooks in recent years can basically do one line to complete charging、Transmit picture、Transmission of sound needs,You don't need a host,Usually bring back a line from the notebook to solve the problem。
For Mac system, Thunderbird Q8 is also fully supported, Mac can recognize the display, modify the resolution, etc.
Thunderbird has been popular with TV products in recent years,It is already a first-echelon manufacturer,His display is still the same,This packaging looks very good。
1500rThe curvature is quite exaggerated from the side, but it's not strange from the front, and even with the habit of curved screens, I feel wrong with a straight screen.
The length of a 34-inch hairtail is not much different from that of a 48-inch fish.
Thunderbird Q8The back design is very good-looking, and the black and white panda color scheme has a sense of déjà vu.
It's the same as PS5, OLEDThe version of NS,ThunderbirdQ8It also continues the attributes of this gaming screen,The color matching they do is similar。
There is a VESA interface on the back of the monitor, which supports stand mounting, and there are also contacts on it to make the RGB with its own stand light up.
The VESA interface is designed very well, and Ergotron does not need to connect the height screws, so it can be installed securely.
Thunderbird Q8 has a lot of interfaces, 2 USB interfaces, upstream interfaces, 2 HDMI interfaces, DP interfaces, Type-C interfaces, Headphone interfaces, power interfaces.
The KVM operation can be done with a single joystick, which complements the configuration interface.
There is also a headphone hanger on the right side, which can also save a stand for the table.
The design of the base and the back is unified,34The bracket of the in-inch monitor is basically like thisV-shaped,It's space-saving,And beautiful,After all34The weight of the inch is not as good as 27,And the center of gravity of the curved surface is also relatively forward。
The installation of the self-contained bracket is very simple, and the workmanship is quite good.
In addition to the power cable, the original configuration also has a DP cable, HDMI cable and Type-C cable, so you don't have to buy it separately.
It is equipped with a 260W large power supply, MiniLED itself consumes more power, plus there is a 90W C port output, and the power supply is normal, but fortunately it is not built into the display, otherwise the bracket may have to buy a high-end one.
Also included with the Thunderbird display logo and mascot sticker, instruction manual and factory color correction list.
The RGB lighting effects behind the stand and monitor are very restrained, the colors are also beautiful, and you can set up a variety of mood lighting effects.
The dynamic effect is very good, but it is a bit difficult to illuminate the wall.
Thunderbird Q8As 34993Inch MiniLED display,As far as the current market with fish screen,I think it is the most worthwhile to start with the display style within 5,000 yuan,Simple analysis:
The inch is too ordinary, the cost of dual screens is too high, and 32 inches is a bit stupid and big, only34 is the most suitable large-size screen for gamers, no need for 4090, and no big table;
There is no other choice with a fish screen,34 inches are basically 2K+ high brushes,Ordinary IPS is about 2,000 yuan,More than 3,000 can enter MiniLED,This is rare in other sizes,It's better to do this directly in one step;
Excellent parameters in all aspects, HDR1400 represents that the brightness and color gamut have reached the top, and the factory color calibration ensures that the color accuracy is no problem;
4. Thunderbird big brand, seven days without reason, only replaced without repair for 3 years, recalculated with three packs of new ones, TCL's brand after-sales must be assured.
There are also disadvantages:
2K is really almost meaningless for demanding players, but there is no better 4K choice for 34 inches, and you don't need to look at 34 inches with fish if you are tangled in 2K.
