The Ultimate conclusion: 4k vs IPS. vs High end TN

[Yair Yehezkel]

Hi everyone again after alot of looking and thinking I've come to a decision (well almost) and would like your thoughts about it:
I am going to use it mainly for gaming games ( MMO, FPS, and lol ). Not into high competitive games BUT I do belive I would notice a change in diffrence of HZ.
Anyway my setup is 1 screen, i sit stright forward, and I don't have an overwhelming light coming into my room. now screen size doesnt really isn't the biggest factor, but i do sit around the 90cm  to 1 meter away from the screen.
 
Door number #1: The "gamer screen"

BenQ LED XL2430 (or Z edition)- a 'normal' 1920*1080, TN modal with really good low Inpute lag high HZ.

or

The Asus LED VG248QE Same Idea, better price.

 

Door number  #2: The Right IPS choise- (To be honest I havn't found good monitors so if you choose this choise help me find a modal )

Such as the Asus IPS LED VX279H- a good lookin' 27 inch Screen.

even though i'm afraid running 27 inch with that 'low' ress. (so smaller is better in this case)

 

Door number #3: The Ultimate choise-

I have the hardware to use it, The Samsung LED 4k U28D590D. A really good 4k monitor but still a TN and 'only' 60Hz.

 

 

Now price ranges in my area are roughly the same the maximum diffrence is between the asus VG and the 4k display... I went for a 4k screen because it is cheaper then a 1440p screen (waaa? )

A good IPS panel, even if 1080p/1440p, will always be my choice. Always.

[Deletive]

Whats your build? 

[Octavialicious]

I personally own the Samsung U28D590D and how I love it! I honestly couldn't recommend it anymore, it's simply a dream to use. One draw back is that sometimes it doesn't wake, but that only happens occasionally (99% sure this was an early adopter problem, pretty sure they fixed it)

[Fate]

4k is amazing, so of course I'm going to recommend it if you have the hardware for it

[TacticlTwinkie]

28ish inch 1440p ips. From experience, that is the sweet spot.

[Enderman]

1440p or 4k IPS

there has to be a 4k IPS monitor somewhere...

@Deletive My speccs are like so:

• Intel Core I7 4790K 4.0 Ghz 8mb L3 Cache s1150, with a Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler.
  
• An Asus Maximus VII Ranger LGA1150, Interl Z97, DDR3 1600.
  
• G.Skill RipJaws-X 8GB
  
• An SSD Samsung 850 PRO (256 GB) + WD 500GB HD
  
• Corsair CS750M (750W)
  
• GTX 980 asus strix 4GB VRAM. single core.
  
• And a random benQ 23 inch' monitor running 1920X1080 (70$)
  

@TacticlTwinkie... wish there was that mid - range screen... But it's around 100$ more expensive then the 4k screen in my area.

I would say the 980 would be able to run 4k. and would be a nice time as long as you dont' max everything.

if you care about viewing angles a lot, or are super into color then the IPS.

[NeverNotExhausted]

1440 IPS, you can get ones that have decent response times and minimal ghosting etc. Plus they aren't stupid hard to drive like a 4k monitor will be

Hi mate, would you mind fixing your thread title and your poll, please? Because it's bugging the spelling nazi in me.

The word "choise" needs to be corrected to "choice".

No need to feel ashamed mate, it's just a typo.

Actually this post can be a great video that Linus can do, the questions, even though he made lots of videos regarding this subject but never combining more the 1 element , like hz, type of monitor, reselotion (typo is real), maybe density of the pixels in differ t siZe screens . And how it can effect 'normal' and gamer users

I'm the owner of a 4k Tn panel by acer and as far as I know they use Samsung panels soo the 4k gets my vote!!

best display I've ever owned and that's coming from someone who used to have 3 1080p ips monitors in surround!!

[No Nrg]

Here's a screen that would cover multiple choices in your poll

 

Acer XB270HU - gamer screen, 1440p 27" 144Hz IPS with G-sync

[Jord1990]

BenQ GW2765HT is a 1440p ips panel. Which is cheaper then the 4k screen you mentioned.

[Vypr]

Why not both 4k AND IPS, I have two P2715Q monitors and they're amazing displays compared to the TN Samsung and acer monitors. Nearly the same price and it's on sale all the time.
