The ASUS PB287Q, AOC U2868PQU and Samsung U28D590D all support UHD resolutions at 60Hz and DisplayPort 1.2 SST. That means that they support working with just "one tile", they don't give the problems the previous dual-tile solutions.
I don't really see the problem with these new monitors that are good enough for most people. Good price, the TN panels are quite decent (confirmed by reviews both at The Tech Report (http://techreport.com/review/26510/4k-for-649-asus-pb287q-monitor-reviewed http://techreport.com/review/26510/4k-for-649-asus-pb287q-mo...) and KitGuru (http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/zardon/aoc-u2868pqu-4k-uhd-28-inch-monitor-review/ http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/zardon/aoc-u2868...).
Yes, you do need the best GPUs in order to take advantage of games in 4K. And yes, OS support is still incomplete. Anyway those trade offs are not that important if you are not a gamer and you can take advantage of that desktop area.
There's always good reasons for waiting. They could lead to never take advantage of improvements: you know, new improvements could be on the horizon when the ones you waited for finally arrive. And the story repeats itself...
- devindotcom 12y agoI don't mind playing games in a lower resolution and letting it scale up to the monitor's res - I consider the stretching to 4K a form of "natural" (if sloppy) anti-aliasing.
- potatolicious 12y agoScaling is a problem on a lot of 4K monitors right now. IIRC the Dells will display everything at their native resolution - so a 1080p signal will sit as a box in the center of your screen surrounded by black. There's a reason why the current batch of 4K monitors are considered immature. The lack of "real" (single-tile) input, the inability to handle 60Hz inputs, the inability to scale, etc etc. Looks like the latest round of model updates solve some of these, but IMO it's not quite time yet.
- ariwilson 12y agoI have the Asus PB287Q and it scales perfectly to 1080p (and does the 60Hz input, single-tile input), etc, etc. The only downside is the TN panel but it's much better than any TN panel I've ever used.
- sitkack 12y agoPlease tell us more.
- devindotcom 12y agoOh yes definitely. Don't worry, I'm not interested in jumping the gun.
- neckro23 12y agoGPU scaling has been a standard driver feature, on Windows at least, with both NVidia and AMD video cards for awhile now. It doesn't really matter what the monitor does.
