My first impression with the 800E resulted in some text that didn't look right, but then I found out about changing the color setting to Graphics (or Game) and that made a huge improvement. I had recently purchased a 2nd Dell U2518D (25" 2560x1440) monitor, and was using the two Dells plus my 2016 MacBook Pro 15's display, but have gotten a little crazy lately with remodeling my office and thought it might be nice to minimize the clutter on my desk, stow away the MacBook, and use a Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and one really big monitor (the 43" Sony) or possibly go really crazy and use the 43" Sony in conjunction with the two Dells. RTINGS.COM apparently still likes the 720E slightly better than the 800E (I forget the specifics), but they're pretty close to identical. My understanding is that this is a newer version of the 720E. I'm just wondering if there's anything to do about the text issue.īumping this thread because I just bought an open-box Sony XBR-43X800E. When everything is working great, the displays are amazingly clear and the colors are awesome. Is there anything I can do about this and are there any tests I can run or app's to buy to run specific tests? I find it strange that this is even occurring.

If I change the resolution using (SwitchResX) and then return to the usual 3840 x 2160, the text degradation sometimes returns. Usually, this subsides after an hour or so. When I turn on the Mac Pro, usually in the morning, I can see a slight degradation in the macOS, web and email text. There's no mouse lag whatsoever, so I'm pretty impressed about this setup.


I'm running both displays at: 3840 x 2160 I can also run them using HiDPI as well. I provided the link below.įor the 43 inch display, I'm running a 20 foot (HOSS Active High Speed HDMI Cable - 4K 60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 24AWG, YUV 4:4:4, C元, 20ft, Black) Link provided below.įor the 49 inch display, I'm running a 9 foot (Siig Premium Braided High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet 4Kx2K - 3M - Red). (2) Vantec VLINK Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to HDNO 2.0 Active adapter. In order to get every thing to work, I purchased: I have a 2013 Mac Pro (Black) running High Sierra 10.13.4.
