4K monitor HELP!

Bewsher88 · 7 Jun 2018 at 14:42

can anyone suggest a decent 4K monitor that I could pair with my PS4 pro? I would like the monitor to support HDR too. My budget is between £300-£450 maximum really.

Do any of the 4K monitors actually come with hdr support I’m actually struggling to find any?

I don't think any 4K monitors come with HDR support yet. If HDR is a requirement, try looking at TVs.

I would really like a monitor as they have the low 1ms response time

if you want 4k HDR10 then check these out;

27uk600
27uk650
27uk850

That's only pixel response time, which affects ghosting. You still have to factor in input lag, and when you do, many monitors are as high/higher than the quick TVs.

All that is irrelevant anyway, because you're playing on a PS4 with a wireless controller, so if you're not noticing latency there, you're not going to notice a few ms.

Honestly for 4K gaming, get a TV.

Just because it supports HDR, it doesn't mean it does it well. Lack of VA panels in the monitor market means you're often stuck with <1000 contrast ratios (even less for the 1ms TN based panels). Monitors genuinely suck for HDR (other than the newer 2K ones).

So are you suggesting not to bother getting a 4K hdr monitor? But to get a tv?

27uk600 fixed stand
27uk650 height adjust
27uk850 height adjust + usb-C

there will be some other differences as well, but all are 3840x2160 with HDR10

Does anyone else have any recommendations as to what I should do now I’m torn between getting one of the above 4K hdr monitors or should I be looking at getting a 4K hdr tv. Any advice appreciated thanks
