I May Have Goofed Slightly
I got my new computer. Yay!
I got my new computer. Yay!
I got it up and running with no problems at all. Yay!
I plugged it in as a second screen for my existing computer, and it worked immediately. Yay!
The colour temperature, brightness, and gamut of the new display are noticeably different to the old one. Oh, well, we can adjust -
When using it as a second display, it forgets all your adjustments and uses the defaults.
Rats. Maybe there's a per-display adjustment I can do from the video card side of things.
Update: Yes! Not full control, but I have full control of one display and brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation on the other. They still don't match quite perfectly, but it's actually a closer match than my previous second screen. I can't quite solve the contrast and gamut differences, because it seems that the new panel is just plain better than the old one. I'll survive.
I once bought two Samsung professional IPS displays - from the same store, on the same day - that had as much difference as this.
And the fancy multi-system bluetooth keyboard and moose are now attached to both systems as well.
Update 2: Running Rally as a second screen for Tohru works, but not vice-versa. I might just need a new HDMI cable; I haven't tried that one at 4K/60Hz before. It syncs at first, then drops the picture and generally messes up.

I think the last time I had two displays that matched perfectly, they were Wyse 60s.
