Dell 4K P2815Q 28in TN panel - $630

[me shiloh]

Just thought some people might be interested in picking up the new monitor 4K monitor that debuted at CES 2014.

Its release price was $700 but if you use a coupon code(QG3G$33HH3QP0) you can already get it for $630 which is a more appealing price point.

Check it out, just thought I would leave this here and see what kind of response I get. 

 

P.S. you can tell me if I was stupid for posting this, like if everyone already knows or i posted in the wrong place.

Cant believe i forget the link, was going to link

I did not see that it was expired but i do think its a different coupon code, try this Linus QZLZVG878LG5V6 , and if that doesn't work use the code they give you for 10% off

You jumped on that, didn't you? Sucks because we could've gotten 4k benchmarks!

[hawaiims]

there's a "hot deals" section on the LTT forum.

 

But that's besides the point. I was really interested in this 4k monitor until I learned it could only display a max of 30hz at 4k. Such a disappointment for those who want to game (not that I would get more than 5 fps with my 6870 anyway bahahahaha). But I'm still glad they're releasing this monitor because it should drive budget monitor prices down further.. perhaps we'll see cheap Korean B grade 4k monitors soon for 500$????

You know even if that Dell monitor IS 4K, I think anything above $300 - $400 is too much to pay for TN monitor. I'd expect IPS, PLS or VA at that price.

Hmm...I must say Linus, you don't have many posts for an Administrator. Although you probably don't live on these forums like the rest of us.

I read lots, but I don't always feel the need to post

 

edit: by this way it's best to edit a previous post rather than posting twice in a row in the same thread. Maybe that's why my post count isn't so high eh?

Why no G-Sync. All I care about is G-Sync IPS 2560x1600/1440 60hz panels. Also not by Asus. I am boycotting all Asus products after the disaster that is Xonar.

Fair enough. Plus all those great videos you do on your Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel probably take the majority of your time, correct?

Haha...well. I think some people maybe like to post farm to increase their post count (don't tell anyone I said that ). Yes a lot of us should probably just edit our posts. For the most part I do, just feel sometimes that there's a need for a separate post.

EDIT: Where'd you get your profile pic?

what grinds my gears is when people post 2 or 3 times because they are replying to 2 or 3 quotes. They could of course do that in one larger post, but instead they feel the need to clutter the thread to get an increased post count.

Yep I agree with you. Anyway I think we should probably get back to the topic that the OP started.

We now have another 4K display being released with an amazing....you guessed it....TN panel. It's a Samsung display. The model is U28D590D. The monitor may look nice but it's still using TN. Why are these beautiful displays utilising such panels. I realise they want to make 4K monitors available to the average consumer but I still think at least a VA panel should be used. I realise that such panels aren't good for gaming, but still it'd be much better than the TN panels currently being used. Yes this is a mini rant and yes I feel better

I'm just not understanding why they're putting TN panels in what otherwise would be considered premium monitors. I think people are far more likely to buy a 27" 2K 2560 x 1440 display with an IPS panel than a 4K 28"/30" 4K 3840 x 2160 display with a TN panel. But I may be wrong on this. However, we'll see about this.

The Samsung stand looks pretty nice, but as far as usability it gets a failing grade for me.

The Tested article was an interesting read!

Samsung needs to get off their high horse and stop designing stylish looking designs that aren't functional or actually look and feel like crap in person. 

The only enticing thing about that monitor is 60hz at 4k, but that should be a given on any monitor since 30hz is a step backwards. 

Other than that, tilt only, no vesa mounts and a weird stand and useless ports such as a headphone jack? No thank you. It's pathetic that a monitor that will cost 1000$ (certainly will cost more than the dell 28 inch because of the metal trim and samsung tax, as well as the 60hz refresh rate) won't even have swivel, rotate, or heck even decent tilt angles.

Korea will give us that within a year or two..

[PortentousLad]

God I hope my LG isn't going to leave me hanging any time soon I really really reeaaaally don't want to by a new monitor with 4k and G-sync still making "baby-steps"

 

I've had my "W2443" for at least 5 years now and it's doin' great!

[Bingbing10]

Give me IPS

Can it at least do 60Hz at 1080p? I do not expect to play games yet at 4k with demanding games, so 30 might be acceptable for desktop, pictures, videos,etc. But for games I want 60Hz
