Monoprice Releases 4k (3840 x 2160 16:9) 60Hz 28" Monitor (/w HDMI 2.0 + HDMI/MHL) for $575 + shipping

[Real_PhillBert]

I would really really really like to see a 28" IPS 4K monitor that is capable of 60hz, for a reasonable price.

 

These inexpensive TNs are all well and good, but where are the IPS models?

You only have 3 4K display on the desktop monitor space (if I am not mistaken. I am only going by memory):

-> 32inch Sharp panel

-> 28inch TN panel (this one)

-> 24inch IPS (Dell UP2414Q is the only monitor)

I'm not really sure exactly what you mean by this. There are obviously way more than three 4K monitors currently for sale.

I really think @LinusTech should review this one.

 

Same.

You are correct, they are more than 3 4K "monitors" for sale. @GoodBytes is also correct, as he said "display" (though I think Panel is a more accurate term).

 

What he means is that there are only 3 different physical panels that all those 4K monitors use internally. ATM a Monitor Manufacturer only has 3 choices from Panel manufacturers.

Ahh Now I am with you again. Thanks for clearing that up

No problem! LCD Monitors are a lot like External HDD's. Dozens "Make" them, but there are only a few actual providers of the main internal guts. There are more than 3 LCD Panel manufacturers, but not much more. As with HDD's (there's currently only what, 5 HDD manufacturers left? 4?)

I actually did not know that. Makes sense though. Thanks for the quick education!

[GoodBytes]

Bingo! Thanks dalekphalm.

[Qub3d]

While I like IPS, the response time and refresh rates aren't quite where I want them for my gaming. I therefore am sticking with my 144Hz monitor.

Monoprice tech support informed me that this is a dual tile/ MST display. Bummed...

Asus PB287q and Samsung U28D590D are single tile/SST to name a couple. MST can have tearing vertically down the middle of screen and have problems waking from sleep, half screen waking etc.

Ah yes you are right. I stand corrected.

Ah I didn't know this was a problem. Thanks!

So I suppose this is the monitor paul showed in one if his recent vlogs.

[Ashaira]

 

28" UHD LED CrystalPro 4K 60Hz DisplayPort, HDMI/MHL, DVI Monitor (Picture In Picture |Picture By Picture) - Black / Aluminum Bezel

 

 

 

 

 

Bah the bezels are awful and a non uniform bezel on a portrait multi screen setup.....ew.

 

But the price is low. But at this point there isn't much point into not simply getting the samsung one (which i have and i can't really complain about anything especially since i got it for 33% cheaper than the asus one).

I am holding off buying a 4k monitor until I get a GSync IPS one.

Well you'll stil have to wait a year or more for that me thinks. Though don't take this as fanboyism but i don't think they'll bother adding g-sync to 4k ips by that point .

I can wait. It's not like I have any money anyway. I am in the process of saving up for an all black upgrade to my PC already. So Haswell_ (Hyphen doesn't work for some reason, could use some help but underscore does) 5820K and MSI SLI Plus and the Black Rock 3 with painted over logo.

Sounds nice But if you're going sli why not go full and go water with black tubbing?.

 

Planning something similar for my 2016-2017 upgrade to a full AMD PC mainly black with red accents. Going to call it Red eyes black dragon

I am not planning on going SLI. I just don't like it, it makes no sense even by going 2 way. It's just not worth the extra cost especially when the majority of the games you play don't have an SLI profile or are really badly unoptimized to begin with. Planetside 2. I just want the MSI board because it's the cheapest and it's all black.

[Silent_Xaxal]

How is the price of the 287Q compared to this one at this point in time? Really curious, though I will be holding off on 4K for my main setups for a while. Want to get in on the 21:9 1440p action.

[Octagoncow]

It looks nice, but I really want some 24" 4k monitors to come out. 28" wouldn't fit on my desk very nicely

[EChondo]

You are correct. Here is the video if anyone is interested;

 

He should have the overview/first impression/review up in a couple days, if not in a week.

 

Also he has done a review of a Korean panel before, if anyone is interested in seeing how he does monitor reviews. Of course his review method is subject to change, but I thought I'd just throw this out there for him.

Who are these monoprice people.
