Awesome Monitor or Scam?

[Chuck_Bucy]

Hey guys,

 

I've been looking into getting a 4k monitor for my new build. I want to be able to experience 4k visuals in my favorite games at 60hz. I also want to be able to play some games at higher refresh rates, such as CSGO (I can definitely tell the difference in games like this). However, I'm not really looking for 4K 144hz gaming. I know that the Predator and ROG could satisfy that (For the GDP of a small Third-World-Nation of course.)

In my searches I have come across this monitor. https://www.amazon.com/PRISM-Korea-M280PU-3840x2160-Included/dp/B01NCEAEEB

 

28 Inch Monitor

Display Port 2.0

1ms Response 

(3840x2160) 60hz

(1920x1080)  144hz

$350

 

This is like the best of both worlds!

However its one of those "Overseas Sketchy Monitors"

I saw a video where Linus tries out an ultrawide from a non-reputable monitor source and it met all of the specs it said it would hit.

 

I'm not looking for superior color quality and I am willing to part with IPS and Nvidia GSync.

I could also debezel the thing to make it look a bit more appealing.

 

What do you guys think?

Well it has a review, though only one

They also displayed Kratos from GoW too that's another plus. Though personally I wouldn't risk

Looks no more or less sketchy than the other cheap Korean monitors to me...

It's just a cheap korean monitor.

You might end up with a dead pixel or maybe even a few, so be cautious of that.

Looks like a cheap korean monitor, I doubt you can find any better 28" 4k monitors at that price. Of course you could get 24" but that may be a bit too small.

EDIT: here is a better monitor from a more reputable brand (but still korean xdd) with IPS https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRQAYPE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2VL6ZMH6X13BT

You could buy it and if it's a scam or broken, Amazon will most likely cover you as it's through their website and they claim that they trust all their sellers.

Buying monitors like this is pretty risky; you might end up with a broken monitor with no warranty, or it might be perfectly fine with great specs. It all comes down to the device itself (Linus tested a Korean ultrawide that was very good except some features that were on the product page but not available in the monitor). If I were you I'd research more before buying.
