Asus PB287Q worth getting ?

[brad5126]

Thinking of getting this monitor for my upcoming build. Planning to do mainly work such as programming and web design. Is this monitor any good for that sort of thing ? 

 

Also would a gtx 970 be a decent card suited to this monitor ?

 

Thanks

If you are just programming and doing web design do you really need more than 1080p? Or am I just derping really hard right now and looking at a different monitor's specs?

The monitor is very good for both, but right now you can get an ips panel for around the same price (although a bit smaller), so you should probably get that instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/dell-monitor-p2715q

Same question

So, assuming you plan to put that gtx 970 to work (which btw is somewhat underpowered to play the latest titles at full detail, although medium settings should run O.K.) the screen is good enough, although its not IPS and doesnt come with G or freesync, which would be obtainable qualities for a slightly higher price

Only thing thats putting me off is that it is a TN panel

I have this panel and it's not worth getting. I bought 2 and they both have issues. I would recommend taking a look at Acer's 4k monitors either with or without gsync.

cheers, what are the issues you are getting ?

 

Any acer in particular you would recommend ?

It's an awesome monitor for gaming and media consumption, but for web design you probably want IPS?

yeah i think so, heard so many draw backs of the TN panel not sure if my 970 would be able to power it

I've had dead pixels, monitor won't turn on or wake up from sleep, and sometimes I would get weird vertical tearing down the middle. I've tried changing the cables and tried it on different computers and graphics cards, but no solution. I have the Acer XB280HK 4k gsync monitor and no issues whatsoever. There's also the Acer B286HK which is the same monitor but without gsync. I've seen the B286HK for as low as $549 and has a fully adjustable stand.
