Google translate on the description?

Looks nice, would like non TN though (And a pair of titans to get 1/2 decent frame rates).

 

[eyetrip]

Nice.

Wonder if will ever see affordable 24 inch 4k monitors?

Would love me some of that in Eyefinity. Of course, it would be a pain to run for a couple years yet.

What's so bad about TN?

 

[smilertoo]

Mostly poor colours and viewing angles, but it varies from screen to screen.

 

[3t3P]

Holy smokes any reviews up?

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

When we then heard that these would be based on the TN technology, we were slightly disappointed. However, now that we've seen the first sample and were able to test it to our heart's content, we've adjusted our opinion: it is difficult not to be excited about the Samsung LU28D590D.

In addition, the utilized TN panel is many times better than the samples we generally find in the sub € 200 segment. Brightness, uniformity, and viewing angles are excellent, and the colour temperature and colour fidelity also are much better than what we've seen in TN panels previously.

The lack of a Vesa mount spot is really disappointing. Plenty of time for others to follow i suppose. I could imagine a trio of these essentially running at 1080 for a year in games, but all that real estate in the meantime would be amazing. No vesa, no sale.

 

[jktmstokes23]

Awesome price. Beats out Amazons.

How much will shipping to the states be? I got a 290 from here and shipping on that was roughly 35$

Samsung completely ****** up with this by offering 2 effectively useless HDMI ports.

It would have cost them pence to make these HDMI 2.0 /60Hz but imo have knobbled this excellently priced / decent specc'd monitor because of this.

To be fair, this is a PC monitor, how many graphics cards have HDMI 2.0?
It has the right ports for the intended market

No GPUs currently use HDMI 2.0 and may not do for several months. Everything works fine using this monitor's DP connection so it's a bit extreme to say they completely messed things up. Current uptake of this monitor speaks for itself, the number of pre-orders I've seen in the US alone is unreal.

You are being a little blind just thinking about GPU's , monitors arent just used with computers lol

Even without that the monitor is going to be used for 2 - 3 years probably more, not just a few months

Monitors shouldnt be sold imo with only one future proof (as much as possible anyway) input

edit - Sony (and probably a few others) were already talking about HDMI 2.0 well before Christmas in regards to their new 4k tv's - that timescale just shows how far behind Samsung are in this regard

Look at the price point of this monitor, expecting it to have every possible option is a bit unrealistic, HDMI is not royalty free and iirc there arent any decent hdmi 2.0 scalers on the open market as of yet, not with built in DP, so you are talking about adding an extra scaler/controller, which would definitely have an added cost

I'm not being blind, just realistic when looking at this particular monitors target market

If you really feel you need hdmi2.0 to support your non-existant hdmi2.0 sources, then dont buy this monitor, buy the more expensive one that comes later

It is 'GPUs' - no need for the apostrophe. It seems I just understand the target market of this product a lot better than you. There is actually no advantage of having HDMI 2.0 implemented on this monitor, even if it were a possibility. HDMI 1.4 on this monitor can support UHD output at 30Hz (possibly 24Hz as well) whilst otherwise using the monitor to its full potential. That provides the 30fps required for any non-PC device (including '4K' video players, games consoles etc.) to output '4K' content to the monitor. You don't need a 60Hz refresh rate for anything other than PC use where the graphical and frame rate capabilities are there to match that.

And I can also tell you that this wasn't Samsung's decision - HDMI 2.0 port controllers that work with CMO's panel which the Samsung uses don't exist.

Oh god I'm getting one! Definitively getting one but not until it's come out and there is stock available regularly so I can flog my Dell towards the price. Can't be having no monitor for too long. Will my EVGA 780s have the correct output for 60hz on this? Which cable do I need to buy?

Displayport will be your best bet, yes the 780 does have one

 

[Gregster]

I shan't be touching the HDMI ports on this and using the DP instead.

CURRENTLY not for the lifespan of any monitor being purchased now.

Try not to be quite so patronising , I understand the uses of this monitor very well thank you and those that would be interested in it.


edit - if there was more than one DP port there wouldnt be an issue but imo it is still a big factor to consider products like this

 

[Panos]

Does anyone knows if it has a glass fron panel (like iMac), semi-gloss (ASUS) or matt?
