Anyone find 4K monitor workable at 28"
- Thread starter atrocious
- Start date
GTX980 which is overkill unless you're gaming at 4K, but I don't upgrade often so I like to future proof.
I've seen both the PB287Q and Samsung 590D, they definitely get great reviews for the price, my concern though is reading text and mouse clicking at native resolution. You'll notice if they are demoed in a store the Windows scaling is usually at 200% or more in which case you just wind up with a 1440 or 1080p desktop anyway.

I haven't used a 4K, but do sometimes use a laptop with a 15.6" 1920x1080 display, using native resolution. My colleagues have commented on the small size of things on the screen, but I haven't found it to be a problem. A 4K 28" would be ~10% higher density than my laptop, so for me it would be borderline and would need to test it out before committing to buying. I would certainly be comfortable with a 32" 4K.
Yeah that's a good idea, there are hundreds of complaints about GTX970/980 owners having problems with displayport and 4K monitors too at the moment (DP required to run at 60hz).
As I also mentioned in another thread, I had a lot of problems when I tried 4K a couple of years ago -- I got it to work, but only at 15hz and it just didn't look good, so I went back to 2560x1440's.
I would like to try 4K again -- eventually -- but I will wait for better connectivity (DisplayPort 1.3, or preferably USB type C) and to see what other people do with it; I also want flawless portrait mode, which supposedly was an issue with the latest 4K's even a few months ago (and I'm guessing probably still is).
