Poll: Are You Going To Purchase a 4K Monitor?

LtMatt · 8 Jan 2015 at 19:18

We're conducting a poll to learn how many of you are going to purchase a 4K monitor in the near future. We'd be grateful if you could you post your thoughts about 4K monitors as well, listing the Pros & Cons for whether you are planning to buy one or not. Thanks.

Please standby folks whilst i ask the Dons to attach a poll to this thread.

Yess once first 120hz one drops.. Or higher.

Waiting to vote.

Nope. 27" 1440 is ideal for me.

You use ps4 on it?

waiting for newer gpu's to handle 4k better

I don't think so. Once I move from my current monitor (1200p / 60hz) to something new, I expect I'll probably end up going for 1440p or 1600p / 120hz +. Of course, that could all change. Time will tell.

Same as Shanks

Don't forget to include an option in the poll for people who already have a 4K monitor.

I don't even have my 1440 monitor anymore but it was perfect size and PPI. Beautiful monitor. Its new owner is happy as well. If it was 120-144 Hz I would have never needed a monitor again.

No, my PS4 is plugged into the television. I currently have a cheap as muck 1080/60 screen. Suits my Warcraft needs perfectly as that's all my PC can play

I bought a ps4 recently. Aside from the delicious AMD hardware inside, i got it for the Last Of Us Remastered. The graphics may not be up to my usual 4k standards but the acting, gameplay and sound effects are top notch. I had a lump in my throat when the girl gets shot at the start.

If OCUK did a 295X2 + 4K monitor bundle I recon they could shift quite a few if they got the price right.

Aye cracking game. Was my favourite of the last couple of years I think. Either that, Tomb Raider or FC3.

Thanks Jester.

Get voting folks!

Might contemplate it once I see a 32" IPS available for sensible money. Also, would be nice if they could increase the refresh rate and possibly add Gsync/Freesync along with it! Maybe something like a Dell UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD UP3214Q without the comedy price tag

Having said that I'm erring towards going for a 21:9 1440p 34" ultrawide as I feel it's a better fit than 16:9 for productivity apps and gaming at a desk.

I'm also holding fire as I feel Windows 8 4k support in terms of apps and font/UI scaling plus a lot of apps don't support it correctly. Hoping Windows 10 will address some of these problems. Given we've had crazy high ppi resolutions on mobile devices like tablets and phones for years now it's quite depressing looking at the state of PC monitors!

I'd definitely benefit from 4k for doing work, but I won't game on one until 1 card will run perfectly.
