Very cheap for a 4k monitor.

note: this is definitely closer to the bottom end for 4k monitors but is still fantastic for those who want to game at a desk on say a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. The response rate of 1ms is just prime. FreeSync is also very nice.

      I feel 27/28" is actually the most versatile size to get compared to 24/32".

      On a standard desk 32" is really a tad large, and on a small desk completely unusable. A 24" is ok for a mid desk, but less than idea if you're using a more table-sized desk.

      A 27" you can manage on a small desk but it's a tad uncomfortable, and on a large table-sized desk it's still big enough to be quite functional.

      • dcep on 05/10/2018 - 12:59

        yea 27" 2k is perfect

        would get va2719-2k that oc to 80hz for less

    • joeyy17 on 06/10/2018 - 08:01

      And it doesn’t have HDR, one of the most advertised features on the Xbox One X apart from 4k. Probably good to pass and wait till more HDR monitors come out

  • Ryuhayebusa on 05/10/2018 - 12:10

    Is a TN panel really bad? I've never had one but it might be worth it for this monitor. 60hz kinda stinks too but that price is great.

    • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:16

      Depends what you use it for. Single monitor (or your primary/directly-in-front monitor in a multi-monitor set up) and primarily for gaming with no creative productivity use? Perfectly fine.

      TN has great response times and minimal input lag. Bad colour accuracy/reproduction and bad viewing angles.

      • Carrian on 05/10/2018 - 12:19

        I'll be using this with my ps4 pro at my desk. And for smash bros when it comes out. Pretty ideal for sitting directly infront of for console gaming tbh.

        • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:27

          For a sec I thought you said Super smash on the PS4 Pro and was like… what?!

          But yeah - this would be almost perfect for console gaming at your desk. 4K, and 60Hz isn't even a drawback.

          • Carrian on 05/10/2018 - 12:28

            @HighAndDry: I paid more for my 24inch 144hz budget asus monitor lol.

        Sorry but this is simply not true.

        I have a 11 year old dell monitor. It's a TN panel.its 1920 X 1200.60hz.

        I just bought a brand new Asus 165hz 2560x1440 gsync ROG monitor. It's an LED and supposedly a very good one.

        I have them both next to each other.

        The TN monitor has better viewing angles, and a miles cleaner picture. Honestly if not for the RES, the cheaper older monitor would be better.

        Only thing I notice is the high HZ. If you asked me before I purchased the Asus if I would spend $1000 for fractionally better hz times I'd tell you where to go.

        Unfortunately you have kids who all they have to go off are quasi paid reviews and "info websites" that tell all this Bull shit. So they take the info as gospel.

        I should have just bought a 55 inch OLED then I could say how different it is to my old dell.

        For reference I have a Asus 1080ti.

        • CloudZero on 06/10/2018 - 13:08

          You most likely bought the ROG Swift PG278Q which is also a TN panel. Besides, some WQHD 144Hz TN monitors have bad colours/gamma out of the box. A few individuals I know have issues with their Dell S2716DG monitors.

        • HighAndDry on 06/10/2018 - 15:21
          +1

          it's an LED

          That's not a panel type, that's a backlight type. An OLED would be much better. Also would be 5x the price for the same specs. The other panel types are VA and IPS.

    • Han Solo on 05/10/2018 - 13:26
      +1

      Yeah 60hz does kind of stink, but if you want more than 60hz at 4K your spending upwards of $3000, which makes 60hz not so stinky at that price.

  • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:15
    +2

    Only drawbacks I can see are that it's a TN panel (bad colour reproduction, bad viewing angles), and it's bog-standard 60Hz refresh rate.

    Otherwise, 4K LED for $360 is a steal. Freesync is just icing.

    • King Steuart on 05/10/2018 - 12:29

  • geo365 on 05/10/2018 - 12:24

    I use this with a 980ti and it is generally ok but sometimes the screen tearing is pretty bad. Currently looking at an upgrade.

    If you're on a budget this is so cheap and will be a great buy but expect drawbacks.

    • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:34
      +3

      Enabling V-Sync (if you haven't) and/or capping framerates at 60fps should help with screen-tearing (on this monitor). Or get an AMD video card so you can take advantage of the Freesync. I don't think the issue is really a problem of this screen as it is a compatibility/software issue primarily.

      • geo365 on 06/10/2018 - 08:52

        Maybe I should have checked the link first. Mines the older model which doesn't have freesync so in the end a moot point. Capping at 60fps doesn't help on the old model. Most games will tear. V-sync or no v-sync.

        I'll get a new monitor though. It's time for a new monitor.

    • incipient on 05/10/2018 - 12:49

      You could upgrade to a $2000 monitor but if you aren't running g/v/freesync you're going to get horrid tearing at 4k with a 980ti.

      Don't hate the hardware, hate the setup.

      • geo365 on 06/10/2018 - 08:55

        Nah I'll hate the hardware. Like I said above it was the older model I have. Didn't realise the new one had freesync. My one doesn't.

        I almost pulled the pin on a $2k monitor but purchased a second RPAS instead. I'll upgrade to a better monitor soon.

        • incipient on 06/10/2018 - 11:15

          You'll still need to turn on vsync, or change the settings to make your fps as constant as possible and close to 60 as possible.

          • geo365 on 06/10/2018 - 12:10

            @incipient: I do, always. This is like the most basic thing you would do.. It doesn't really help.

  • johnnytran on 05/10/2018 - 12:34

    Looking for a 4K monitor for gaming on my PS4 pro. Currently have one of the 24” benq 1ms ones (rl2455hm).

    I only play FPS games so low response is a must. Can anyone recommend any? Obviously don’t need all the bells and whistles PC gamers need as I’ll only be using it with the PS4 pro and a standard PC monitor. If it’s cheap enough I’d buy two (hopefully a 1070 is ok)

    • Carrian on 05/10/2018 - 12:34
      +3

      this one…..?

    • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:37
      +2

      Pretty sure the PS4 Pro doesn't ever go above 60fps, so this screen should be fine for that. PC gaming, you're really not going to get much better performance than 4K @ 60fps on most titles on decent settings on a 1070, so IMO this screen is also okay for that.

      And this is a TN panel so should be good for shooters and fast-twitch games.

      Other requirements you might have notwithstanding, this monitor seems to tick all your boxes.

      • johnnytran on 05/10/2018 - 12:49

        Thanks. Not sure whether I could fit two 28” on my desk, is a 4K 24” one a waste of money? I guess I like 24” cause i feel it’s the optimum size for multiplayer FPS games.

        • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:53
          +2

          is a 4K 24” one a waste of money?

          Imho, definitely. Even 24" at 1440p would be hard to tell the difference (not to mention that any use for the PC will make everything way too small to be useful at native resolutions when not gaming).

          Depends on your desk, but check if this has VESA mounting, and if so, look into a VESA dual mount, which will decrease the footprint needed drastically.

        • Presence on 05/10/2018 - 14:04

          If you're going to get two of these consider the Phillips 4k 43" that was $700. It will take way less horizontal space and you won't need any scaling. Depends on your use case. I have one and for excel, GIS, general productivity it's amazing. Even 4k at 32" you'll have to scale to able to read anything, somewhat defying the point of all the extra pixels - 43" 4k is a great font size at 100%

  • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 12:46

    This is actually especially good for Xbox One S and One X owners, because they have support for Freesync. PS4s should also be able to, since they have AMD GPUs, but so far Sony hasn't added Freesync support to PS4 firmware.

    • FunkyMunky on 05/10/2018 - 13:56
      +2

      It's actually a little bit of sleight-of-hand by monitor manufacturers. Many of the freesync monitors only support freesync over display port (for PC), not over HDMI (xbox)

      I did a lot of research on this when looking for monitors suitable for the X1X; you can filter the list of supported monitors on the AMD website to find ones that support freesync over HDMI:

      https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors

      I ended up ordering the asus VP28UQG, which was the cheapest option (no HDR unfortunately).

  • ro0sta on 05/10/2018 - 12:49

    Can state for the record these are brilliant with 4k gaming consoles especially XBox One X. 1ms response time is what competitive gamers and PC enthusiasts demand. I already own these and bought an extra In a dual. Monitor set up.. Come to think of it I don't really need 2 any more.

    Got this monitor from computer alliance.

    It gives off a high pitched whine when viewing white screens (window screen) - checked online and others have had this issue too - seems to be DP related. I am connected via DP too.

    and also during standby when the blue LED goes on and off. pretty annoying.

    Other than that its Ok.

    Oh and videos tear like crazy, with a Vega 56 - no idea if its a software or hardware issue yet.

    • HighAndDry on 05/10/2018 - 15:31

      Have you enabled Freesync? Shouldn't really get tearing with an AMD GPU.

      • BradH13 on 05/10/2018 - 16:46

        FreeSync only works in a certain framerate range on low end screens. You'll get tearing if your graphics card doesn't pump out the 'sweet spot' for the screen (which I have no idea what it is for this model).

        • FunkyMunky on 05/10/2018 - 22:52

    DO NOT BUY THIS! I have one for almost a year now, since day 1 the monitor makes a lot of screeching noises. Turning on makes loud SCREEEEEECH noise, idle mode with the LED light flashing makes beep bop beep bop noise, completely shut down STILL make a low screeeeeeech noise that is noticeable at night. Overall NOT recommended at all because of the annoying noises.

    • kehuehue on 05/10/2018 - 14:41

      Yeah can confirm the low brightness and bad viewing angles make it bad for different situations like elevating it a bit higher so your neck does not hurt or watching from your bed.. if you are gonna be at level viewing angles and close up 100% of the time like a desk then it is great.

      TL;DR TN panel = bad brightness, bad for non level viewing, bad for watching from afar, but it is much cheaper than IPS and VA.

    Is there any bargain with height adjustable screen? Helps with neck cramps

    Is this one height adjustable. I read but don’t think it stated

    As much as i enjoy the comments here, could someone direct me into a high reso monitor under same price, other than this more slimmer. Just need it to look nice in study and connect it to macbook.

    NTSC 72%.

    I get competitive gamers don't necessarily care about image quality, but that is a damn low colour figure.

      TN Panel. Can't really get those super-low response times with any other panel, and you can't get any better colour reproduction with a TN.

    My take on this monitor after owning it for almost 4 years:
    This is a very good deal for a decent monitor. I can attest to the response time etc. It can split screen too but I never used that function. The design is very nice even in today's trend.
    The biggest downside for this is no height adjustment and the tilting range is pretty bad. I like my monitor high so had to put it onto a monitor stand. However the top 25% of the panel had pretty bad colour distortion, especially when you lean back and/or slouch on the chair. The screen will not tilt down enough so I had to add a little wooden piece at the back of the base to make it tilt forward when I do this.
    2nd negative about this one is if you use it for a prolonged continuous period say 6hrs+ the screen flickering will make your eyes tired. Especially if you spend most of the time staring at documents and web surfing due to the white background.
    Colour accuracy is bad but did not stop me from enjoying the occasional movies on it.
    Overall this is one of the best value for a budget 4k monitor especially if you use it for gaming and youtube. For office or creative use I would recommend getting a 1440p Dell Ultrasharp even at 25inch instead. For study, it depends on what kind of students you are :D

    Don't get me started on how bad some led monitors bleed AND glow. It's just garbage when you are used to plasma OLED or TN panels

    I'm looking to buy this monitor to use when I work from home as well as connect my Xbox360 and eventually buy a ps4 pro.

    With the xbox360 I'd be connecting it via HDMI but how do I get sound?

    And is this the type of monitor I'm after for the ps4 pro? I don't really play FPS but more Uncharted, Tomb Raider and Red Dead. Those type of games. Or should I wait for one that's HDR and 4k?

    • ro0sta on 06/10/2018 - 10:16

      How much do you really need HDR? Both Assassin's Creed Origin and Tomb Raider games look sensation on this display. I can help you out if keen…

      • johnthepg on 06/10/2018 - 19:31

        I don't know much about this space and I don't know whether I need HDR. My friends said to get something with HDR to future proof myself but I really don't care.

        As long as it's the best possible 4k (obviously value for money is key) then I'm happy.

        Yes, help is always good. Thanks

      The monitor has a normal 3mm headphone plug for audio output.

    Wonder what stock levels are left of this…
