Great to see, that this monitor is finally becoming available, but as expected at a pricetag of about 800 dollars. Some features worth highlighting are its 100x100mm vesa mount, it shipping preassembled in the box, 144Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, Nvidia G-Sync support and, of course, its striking design.

That's a really nice looking monitor and it's great quality. But at £720 I won't be getting one anytime soon.

Also, my GPU isn't Nvidia.

[Bagmup]

Nope, just more over priced rog.

I'll wait for an ips, freesync 1440p monitor thanks.

I declare anyone paying that for an 1440P TN PANEL is MAD, MAD I TELL YOU!

I would pay it, and I am not mad.

 

I'll tell you who's mad: everyone who replies to my post in anger...

I'm not angry, just stating the fact that you are mentally challenged

I still don't understand why people hate on TN's so much...

 

The PB287Q's picture quality is extremely close to my U2414H, which is an ultrasharp AH-IPS... It only suffers in the black department.

Tn is quite an old display technology and it is known for bad color reproduction/accuracy, but technologies do advance. For sure, there are a few ips monitors that look as bad or worse than some high end tn models. Initially a tn panel, will look worse, yes. But there is more to a monitor that influences the color reproduction than just the panel its self, fimware, scaler and general manufacturing quality do make a huge difference. I would never judge a product based on a single spec.

People don't know what they are talking about. They know next to nothing about panels and displays. Pretty much all they know is TN bad IPS good when it is so much more complicated than that.

Definitely getting one of these. I am not a professional graphics artist that would even notice the color difference between a high quality tn and an ips, nor do I ever get my monitors calibrated. the laughable thing about this is most of the people in here complaining about "bad quality color on a tn" most likely are not doing graphics work either, and have never gotten a monitor calibrated. But hey, you definitely look like you know what you are talking about when you complain about color on a tn! 

 

For reference, my current monitor is a qnix.

You can get a 4k monitor for that price instead

[Commander Llama]

As long as the Canadian stock is there and the price is only $50 more and not something ludicrous like the UK price, this is the monitor I'll be getting.  The Asus 4K monitor is great, sure, if you like gaming at 20-35FPS.  Plus Windows font scaling issues and other ideosyncracies showing software is not there yet either.  Also a lot of actual user reviews are reporting a lot of issues with it.  I'd rather invest in a super slick 1440p gaming monitor and get a 4K one when the technology has improved and there's a GTX880/980 that can hammer out decent FPS.

[Deus Ragno]

I'm getting three. Maybe four.

I really hope that prad.de will do a review on this thing soon. Also, that price for a TN screen: AHAHAHA! No.....

[matin94]

worst review ever, it doesnt say much. just says stuff like nice build quality, easy setup

this is more of an unboxing than revieiw

this is my opinion, no hate please

[matin94]

That's a really nice looking monitor and it's great quality. But at £720 I won't be getting one anytime soon.

Also, my GPU isn't Nvidia.

EXACT same situation for me going IPS coz this is so expensive.

hopefully by next year will have something like this but IPS

[matin94]

Nope, just more over priced rog.

I'll wait for an ips, freesync 1440p monitor thanks.

IPS, freesync 1440p @144hz monitor

[matin94]

i have only owned TN panels, ever.

i'd love to know your opinion why i should go with this instead of say an Asus PB278Q.

bare in mind i am willing to spend around £650. I have an AMD card. My current TN panel has 5ms response time (dont know what 1ms feels like), note that i dont do professional working, nor do i play 1000s of games, i play dota 2 most of the time, Dayz, time to time battlefield, Garry's mod. Counter strike, maybe a few single player games time to time like spec ops the line.

im am a fresh meat, i havent seen the beautiful colours of IPS, or the fast speeds of a 144hz monitor.

Give me a good reason to get this instead of a IPS panel. would appreciate it

Asus PB278Q

you must be blessed with money get one one if u can

[Deus Ragno]

A little bit. It'll still take a while before I have them all. But I decided on it and that's that.

i could buy 1 every 2 months, but i dont feel thats necessary.

do u game using eyefinity or surround? also what will u use to run these monitors?

[HeathCliff]

Am I the only who is pissed off by the fact that whoever priced that thing for the UK is completely retarded? $800 should equate to £467 +20% VAT (£560 total). Where there hell did this £720 price tag come from?

I have no idea. I haven't had more than one monitor before.

Shipping, they are using highly trained whales to carry the products from china to the UK. For the US they are still using the traditional logistics methods.

TN= don't care.  I'll keep my PLS 1440p panel.
