This is a great monitor and pretty decent price for it, will post specs below. I have personally owned this before and its really nice to use. Has HDMI 2.1 so can do 4k 120Hz on a PlayStation 5 which few support currently. Sadly I had to return mine as it had a dead pixel I couldn't stop seeing but Scorptec handled the return fantastically.

  Did you find the 28" a bit small for 4K? Seems steep for that size in price too, even with hdmi 2.1. 32" seems like that sweet spot for 4K

    I have a 27" 4K. It probably depends on the use case, but higher resolution on a smaller screen makes the text look really clear and sharp.
    On the other hand, with a 32" 4K monitor you can display more info on the screen (e.g. 4 windows at once) though that won't look as good :-)

      4K 32" would still be fairly sharp judging by my 34" ultrawide.

        isn't a 32 inch monitor taller than a 34 inch monitor?

          @Carrian: Correct, but still higher PPI. UW 34" is 109.68 ppi vs 137.68 for 32"@4k

      4K would be extremely sharp and clear on 32". You won't see degradation on a 4K monitor until after 48" in terms PPI. 32" at 4K is 20% sharper/clearer than 1440p@27" and 30% more than 1080p@24". Here's a handy guide I made last time.

      24@1080p = 91.79/ppi
      27@1080p = 81.59/ppi
      27@1440p = 108.79/ppi
      32@1440p = 91.79/ppi
      34@1440pUW = 109.68/ppi
      32@4k = 137.68/ppi
      40@4k = 110.15/ppi
      42@4k = 104.9/ppi
      48@4k = 91.79/ppi

      28" seems way too small for 4K imo.

        Hello, I currently have a kogan 27" 1440p paired with a 3070 as a hold over and it works okay.

        I have been meaning to add a 27" 4k g-sync as a primary monitor, but reading your comments, it seems that 32" is the way to go?

        My desk is 60cm in depth, and the monitors sit on a dual mount. The monitor will be viewed at 55-65cm away from the eye.

        Should I go with:

        A: high end 27" 1440p (LG UltraGear 27GP850-B)
        B: this samsung or gigabyte 28" 4k
        C: the dell 32" 4k

        Budget is firm 1k (already inflated from 500)

        Thanks

          @yy89: It depends what you're trying to achieve on it? What type of games you're trying to play? If you want that high refresh rate. I'd probably go the second 27" LG high end screen. With a 3070 on newer games you proabbly won't get much better than 60fps on a 4k screen anyway.

          If you really want 4k though, I'd go the 32". It seems like the sweet spot, especially if youre gonna game with a console on it too.

          I personally use a 34" 1440p Ultrawide (x34p) paired with a 27" 1440p Dell in vertical orientation myself. I'd probably never step away from an Ultrawide myself. They're fantastic.I use a 2080 Super, and am not too fussed about high fps too, I'm happy to sit in that 60-100 range.

    The combination of 144Hz and 4K is what drives up the price of this monitor. I found the size perfect personally as I had another 27" monitor.

  Was $780 over the weekend, so wait for the price on this class of monitor to drop a bit further, to say sub-$700.

  Superior model is the M28U, and what should pop up as a better value for money offering us the MSI variant of this Innolux panel.

  • 

    Mooash on 21/03/2022 - 11:38

    What are the major differences between the two? Looks like the M28U has a USB-C in which is nice but apart from that seem much the same?

    When I was originally searching I don't think the M28U was in Australia yet sadly.

      Same panel, Gigabyte have just pulled one out of their butts and tuned it better for a change.

      Measurements are even very similar across the group of monitors using this panel, but in the pursuit camera photos you can see that Gigabyte have driven the response times in all the right places for a clearer image in motion.

    M28U has limited HDMI bandwidth compared to this model which is 40Gps.

    'We confirmed that the HDMI 2.1 ports are limited to 24Gbps.'

      And? Just means it's using DSC, which is visually lossless. 8K TVs can take native resolution above 50Hz without DSC, and UHD 240Hz isn't possible, and those limits are just for SDR content.
