ASUS MG28UQ 4K 28-Inch Adaptive-Sync Monitor

[starshipeleven]

I have a hard time believing $500 for a TN-Film monitor (4k or not) is a good deal.

This. For that price IPS or GTFO.

I'm interested to hear how well using linux-friendly color calibration like the ColorHug is on monitor reviews. I know it's not something with hard numbers like benchmarks; just an idea.

Monitor quality isn't linux-specific tho, what would that add to the tests?

Like this 27" IPS for $449 (sometimes drops to $399 people commented), one inch less yeah but sounds much better to me

@dungeon: That LG seems to be very nice, at least people are raving about it. But 4K on 27" is probably only adequate for gaming and multimedia, not Office work, CAD and programming. There are a new 40-inchers that are quite cheap, like: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/monito...-x4071uhsu-b1/

Lg is also a pretty good brand as far as screens/TVs go.

I think you just caused many US people to suddenly lose $449+shipping and find serendipitously that monitor in the mail.

Looking for that in EU now...
Nice. Thanks to (Obama) brexit I can get them for around 400-450 euros too, from uk sellers.

Well, if you are close to monitor most of the time 27" is just fine While 40" close does not look fine like smaller, so that is better if you prefer sofa position

4K is the wrong resolution for this size of monitor for a PC. It gives a DPI of 144 or exactly 1.5x96DPI so it requires 1.5x scaling on Linux and Windows (but 2x scaling on Macs which traditionally had a much shittier 72DPI).

I agre, IPS or GTFO. I have this one:
Dell P2715Q 27" 4K IPS, $479.99

60HZ works perfect over DP.
Once you go IPS you can never go back to TN!

I'll wait for a decent price on a 54" IPS device with adaptive sync that isn't a smart TV.

If I'm going to have my GPU driving that many more pixels, I want the same DPI I currently get out of my spread of three 1280x1024 monitors so I can actually use those extra pixels. (54" at 16:9 would give the same width as my current spread of monitors, effectively adding a second row to my current 3x1 setup)

Have there been any recent updates on how much progress has been made towards getting the DAL display abstraction code merged?

Should be in Linux kernel 4.8.
