Posted May 27, 2014 NCIX: http://bit.ly/WY5yya Amazon: http://georiot.co/3ken ASUS has knocked it out of the park with the PB287Q. This monitor is suitable for casual content creation, gaming, productivity, and pretty much anything else you can think of. If it's time to go 4K, then it's time to go find whichever retailer has the best price on the PB287Q. **IMPORTANT NOTE** Due to the product embargo for this monitor, I can't release the video until 6am pacific time The good news is that it's worth the wait!

Posted May 27, 2014 Got super excited when I saw it for $450 on Amazon, but I double checked and saw it was the PB278Q. Asus should really rethink their naming scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t fall off your chair.. http://www.pcdiga.com/2/13266/Monitor-Dell-UltraSharp-32-IPS-4k-Ultra-HD-UP3214Q IPS is not worth almost 4 Times the cost of this one. Did you not hear how linus has said time and time and again, including this video that the quality of these 4K TNs is really not bad or crappy at all.

Posted May 27, 2014 Anyone care to explain the pros and cons of this vs. a possible Gsync monitor? Or perhaps will Gsync be crammable into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2014 Did anyone else notice that Linus tested the millisecond lag at 1080p? Isn't it possible for the millisecond lag to change between 1080p and 4k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2014 Anyone care to explain the pros and cons of this vs. a possible Gsync monitor? Or perhaps will Gsync be crammable into this? A G-Sync monitor gaming experience definitely will be better and smoother. However it's definitely going to be more expensive. The upcoming G-Sync Acer monitor is going to be at least $1000. As for cramming in g-sync the only monitor you can mod with g-sync is the asus vg248qe, anything else you're going to having to wait till it comes out already built in.

Posted May 27, 2014 I wish Linus reviewed this. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=860-BBCD It's a monitor with 4k, IPS, 60Hz, 1.07B colors, 350 cd/m2, and 8ms GTG for $950.

Posted May 27, 2014 Sooo you're done with the 21:9 monitor now? Make up your mind Linus! May I refer you to 9:03 in the video? He claims that he still prefers the 21:9 ratio, but there are some drawbacks to it. //ccap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
