Samsung U28D590 4K 60hz 1ms Monitor

Tempting but I'll probably hold out until prices drop a bit. 1920x1080 is a pathetically low resolution for a computer monitor and the sooner 4K kills it off the better.
 

The specs look pretty nice, and he said it'll be below 700 euros? Hopefully that'll translate to something under £600 for us.

Really looking forward to some affordable 4k monitors.
 
Wouldn't call 1920x1080 pathetic but I've owned or own a number of monitors between 1920x1080 and 2560x1600 including 2048x1152 and 2560x1080 and I definitely prefer a bit bigger than 1920x1080 - in general though I find 2048x1152 more suited to desktop stuff than most other resolutions.

Saving from what, exactly?

Ultimately, it pretty much is pathetic, when you consider the sort of pixel densities mobile devices are pushing now (400+ per inch), and yet computer monitors are still in the low100s. Even 4K at 30" is less than 150 pixels per inch.

There's the difference of one you hold quite close to your face, whereas the other (computer monitors) are viewed from much further away, however 150 PPI is still too low even for the increased distance.

For me, 2560x1440 at 27" isn't enough, I can and do see the pixels (as in jagged edges of pixels) very easily from around 60cm away.

The problem is you need a £450+ GPU to push 4K at sub 60fps, it won't kill off 1080p until mainstream £150-200 GPUs will be able to push 4k at 30fps minimum.
 
Yep, I made a thread about looking to buy it. It's 900 NZD here in NZ. I'll get a better GPU first before buying it.

No you don't, and I wish people would stop saying this, you do NOT need a £450 graphics card to play 4K at under 60FPS.

Do you feel this samsungs 4k display will fix that jagged edges ?

No I don't think 4K at 28" will eliminate it, but it will certainly be better.
