4K 27" Monitor for Gaming & Editing

[zachwest23]

Hi, can someone recommend a good 4k 27" monitor mainly used for gaming and editing? I want to have 2 in my setup, and I know that it's hard to find ones cheap but does anyone that has knowledge of one or has one tell me? Thanks!

2) pg278Q isnt 4k, it's 1440p iirc

2) I now realize that I put 4l

Anyways, do you think it is an ideal monitor?

what purpose? purely gaming? or gaming + working on the side (can be student work or w/e)

if gaming, what games

Well, I'm planning on having the 2 monitors for my PC to multitask while editing photos or videos but also play games like CS:GO and Farcry 4.

You wont want to play any game on two monitors... either one or three. Get one of these and go for something else that is cheaper with seccondary monitor.

I was planning on using both for my normal PC use, editing, browsing, etc but only 1 for while I game aswell as have a playstation connected to one and switch between inputs. Now that you say using 3 monitors would be best. Do you know of any 4K monitors that would suite me best?

I use two, it's fine. I don't game across both of course, I just have the game on my main monitor and other stuff on my secondary monitor.

When you say "both for editing", does that mean you expect your editing program to span across both monitors, or that you'd have it on one and use the other monitor for other windows?

The Dell P2715Q is a good all-around 4K monitor. It's a standard 60 Hz IPS display but it's a good price for what it is, and it will do fine for gaming.
