As far as I can see that is just guesswork, nothing has been confirmed by Dell and they haven't issued a press release. If you look at a the specifications for the Philips 288P6 it uses a TN panel. The only known 28" 4K panel at the moment is TN. It just doesn't add up that this would be cheaper yet use a superior panel. I would love to be wrong about this, but don't be disappointed if I'm not.

The $799 Lenovo is TN.

Exactly. Using the CMO M280DGJ-L30 like all of these 28" models for a similar price no doubt.

TN and 30Hz @ 4K. Confirmed.

I know people vary in their sensitivity to refresh rates and any resultant eye strain ... but yikes.

How many 'professionals' are going to want to stare at that all day, and how many gamers are going to want to watch motion at 30hz (even if they struggle to maintain 30FPS at 4K)?

Now that's the sweet spot for a monitor @ 120hertz 1440p*
BUT will it ever happen?

When I see a 27" 1440p VA 120/240hz screen... Take my money now. Hopefully we will see those and then in maybe 5 years an OLED version. 4k at that size seems a bit pointless unless you can afford 3 x high end graphics cards as well.

1440@120hz... been there done that.

What I want now is a 4k monitor with a strobe backlight/LightBoost hack to eliminate motion blur. Has to be IPS or OLED though, no way am I going back to TN/VA panels.

I just loved the way all 3 replies went the way it did

Been waiting years they have released some overclocked and some 120hertz panels but nothing proper, otherwise been waiting for what feels like 5 years for a 27inch VA or IPS 120hertz panel but one that is decent quality so doubt they are ever coming.

4K Oled 27" with strobe backlight if that fixes the blur or 120hertz whatever its called its something to attempt to buy !

is there any 4k screen with G-SYNC>?

Theyve demoed the Asus 32" 4k with gsync, but no news on release and price is still north of three grand :eek:

And don't forget the all-important 30Hz at 4K resolution.

Think we can probably just lock this thread and ignore this ever happened.

Haha 30hz, archaic

There is so much more to image quality than raw resolution.
I wouldn't be adopting 4k this year its clearly not ready or cheap enough for mass consumption.

So only a real issue for anything with motion then? Would this be ok for photo editing etc?

No. It has a TN screen, will have bad colours and poor viewing angle.

There's no reason why 120+hz 4k screen won't be out later in the year. Just need DP1.3 ... though they'll likely cost a fortune.
