Thanks again

Another question though if you don't mind! In terms of watching movies would a 4K TV be any better than this monitor?

only different really is some TV's have Motion / Processing flitters which makes the image run smoother.

i guess you've seen some tv specs say Motion rate 100hz or 200hz?

Yeh that's probably the first thing that comes to mind. Just really worried I'm going to miss something!

it just depends what u want a screen for. if it's for a lot of gaming / little watching movies then for the monitor. if it's for a lot of watching movies / little gaming then for the 4k tv.

So I have been informed mine is technically out of stock where I ordered but they haven't actually charged my card. Should have more in this week. The wait continues LOL

This monitor is in high demand here in the states

I'm hoping by the time I'm in a position to order Philips have realised what a gem they've made and do a quick update

I love this screen for the size, but I'm thinking of returning it or at least just using it for films and get another screen for CSGO.

Terrible for gaming (imo).

Also, the black levels when I first turned it on were absolutely STUNNING. But that was in 30hz model. When I switched over to 60hz, its just not as good. Blacks are looking more greyish again.

YB2ndBEST · 1 Jun 2015 at 04:11

Anyone else notice that issue??? ^^^

weird_dave · 1 Jun 2015 at 15:32

4K 60Hz blacks look fine here, first I've heard anyone say different.

It's not a game for playing CSGO on, just about every review points this out. Fine for most gamers playing driving sims etc, not for people who play competitive or fast shooters.

Still pondering this for general use, photo and video editing, would use it along side my Dell 3008wfp.

Any input/thoughts etc on this from people who have it ? The real estate would be good for premier pro im thinking.

Ohhh definitely. I know this

I have a separate monitor if I really want to go that route already. I want this for Witcher 3, Star Citizen, etc... I need immersion.

Got a shipping date finally. I'll post my feedback end of the week WOOOOO!

Can anyone confirm a 3m dp cable works at 4k?

Something like this for eg.

I want to order this screen, but when it's £150 more expensive at £799 than multiple other vendors, i won't be buying from OCUK (unfortunately)

AWPC · 3 Jun 2015 at 20:52

Only paid £xxx for mine last week OCUK did not want my money for some reason :rolleyes:

Raumarik · 3 Jun 2015 at 22:31

Wow back up to £800 again already? Meh hope they're back down in a couple of months when I go to buy one!

Darkman · 4 Jun 2015 at 09:10

The Seiki Pro model refresh is due soon. Might be worth waiting for. Source.

somewhatdamaged · 4 Jun 2015 at 09:12

Under £650 at a number of other online stores.

The original OCUK price (£599) was actually only £45 cheaper than other stores, so not quite the amazing bargain i was led to believe it was.

Does this monitor look good at 1440p at all? In a worst case scenario when xfire doesn't work on a launch day of a game will it look like ballsac?

If you are using a nvidia card, make sure the you've set dynamic range to full in the control panel, colour options. If the card detects the monitor as a TV ( for whatever reason) it defaults to limited dynamic range, which makes blacks look greyish.

That's an almost certainty m8, AMD have been **** of late in regards to Day 1 drivers (esp Crossfire)!!! I switched from a 295x2

Panel runs great at 1080p/1440p m8, I use 1440p when the games are too demanding for 4k (trying to resist a pair of Ti's atm!)
