O preço do iMac é exagerado até la fora: iMac top de linha i5

Quem entende de computadores sabe que você monta um PC MELHOR por um preço bem menor: Top de linha no MINIMO 5x mais forte, e o mesmo preço. Na verdade, um exagero, porque montei com as melhores peças no mercado atualmente. Poderia até ter poupado mais e aproveitado o quad-channel do ram na placa mãe, que seria melhor e mais barato, só quis ser overkill.

Os produtos Apple são overpriced em QUALQUER mercado, só ver a linha de ultrabooks deles por 2k dolares e os concorrentes pelo mesmo valor (Razer Blade).

(https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=gbps_tit_m-3_62d6_6e3d66f7?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ffcb75c7-e01d-4198-b44a-8ee857d262d6&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=14611812011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=9ZXQXS3H5QJX7MMTAZTF)

Just my long two cents but, in games where 144 Hz is actually significant (and attainable if we're being honest, you won't be hitting 144 fps on a lot of modern single player games) you can hit the 144 Hz dreamland with a 1070 or Fury X (I think) at 1440p - so the FreeSync/GSync is less important. You can also use an RX 480 and down scale to 1080p and get 144 fps/Hz that way and then enjoyable performance at 1440p on modern, single player games and get more use out of FreeSync/GSync.

In the only games that really matter with 144 frames (imo) - you can attain the high frames needed with things like the 1070, RX 480 or Fury X one way or another. It's not like you'll need a 1080 Ti to get 144 frames at 1440p on Overwatch, CS:GO, League, etc.

I won't deny FreeSync/GSync are useful, but in my opinion it's more useful in games and resolutions where your card simply can't hit desirable frame rates such as 60 or 144. I once bought a 4K FreeSync monitor where my RX480 was clearly not going to get me 144 frames in any game but I bought it anyways since it was my first AMD card. Getting into FreeSync range at 4K and 1440p was a dream. While my frames were lower than the 60-75 I'd get at 1080p, the game just felt so weirdly smooth thanks to FreeSync.

So don't sweat it that you can't use FreeSync if you play competitive games since your 1070 will have you at, around or above 144 frames. Likewise, a 1070 is good enough to get you great frame rates in other single player games like The Witcher 3.

It's normally 379-399 so it's an OK deal, also seems to have freesync for what it's worth. I'd wait for an IPS but if you want 4k go for it, although I've never used woot before

The strongest gaming processor is the 7700K. Won't matter much on 4K, but also no reason not to get it. Strongest gpu is the GTX 1080 Ti, useful for 4K.

Possible display would be https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC (no gsync, but on 4K as far as I saw that would be too expensive).

Anyone have experience with the Samsung U28E590D monitor??

It seems like a pretty solid deal. I was looking at that or the Acer G247HYU

Thanks!

Center is an Acer Predator Z35P 35" 1440p Ultrawide. (The new addition. Just replaced a Samsung U28E590D)

On the sides are two ASUS VH242H 24" 1080p monitors.

Are you looking for new or refurb? Refurb

​

Does it have to be dual monitor setup or is a single ultrawide sufficient? Maybe34"?

​

4k, 1440p, or 1080?

​

Its a Samsung 4k UHD monitor link

FreeSync is worth every penny it costs - from the flickering problem that is pervasive across brands and models, to the laughable 10-hz sync range on some panels, to the lack of LFC support on most of the models.

Shockingly, it does not cost money to slap a label on a box like AMD is doing. It does cost money to get quality hardware that supports a good user experience.

Both are 4k free sync monitors 60hz $400 not $1k+

I have the 2016 MacBook Pro nTB 13" base model (mouthful) and I just recently purchased a 28" Samsung UHD 4k monitor. I don't really know what to look for but to me it looks great and has zero issues. I can check some stuff if you'd like. I only commented because my model is the most basic you can get and I'm good to go!

This one from Samsung is $300 and new, you actually missed a good deal, it was $250 last night, but 30p isnt to bad either.

I am looking for the same. I did find this though.

I have a stupid monitor question so please bear me out. Currently I have a Samsung U28E590D 4K monitor. I use it with my MacBook Pro for daily web browsing and some work stuff. Now I'm building a midrange PC (i5-7500 + RX 480 8G) for gaming and knowing it's not going to be able to run games at 4K, is it reasonable to just downgrade the resolution of the monitor to 1440p or even 1080p when playing games? Or I'm better off if I just sell this and get a new 1440p monitor that's more suitable for gaming. Thanks in advance and any help is much appreciated!

I just bought a Samsung U28E590D and love it.

28", 3840 x 2160 resolution, with 1ms response time. For under $300.

[This is my monitor] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1) and it's looks great! Make sure you plug into HDMI 2 for 4k at 60hz.

I have had exactly the same issue. I bought and returned several IPS monitors in the last month, they all sucked. The ASUS 4k was hard to look at for some reason (made me want to gouge my eyes out), the BenQ 4k was grainy and difficult to focus on.

The best one I've found (that I'm using right now) is a TN panel, the Samsung U28E590D:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Not as good as my phone or the best tv's, but it's actually sharp (unlike the 4k IPS stuff I tried). I've ordered an HP Envy monitor, as it's supposed to be glossy...guess I'll know in the next week whether I keep it or send it back (it should arrive in a few days).

But I completely share your frustration. There's a bunch of cool screen on smartphones, and on tv's, but in monitors they seem to be slumming it with gimmicky tech specs but the same old very basic screens which aren't great.

Apple has recently announced 2 displays -
http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKMY2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-4k-display
http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKN62LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display

If you like previous displays, perhaps these would work. I've had trouble finding them on display in a store though.

I got this one from Samsung, it does 4k at 60hz over HDMI 2.0.

Also available on Amazon for $279.99

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC/

This is what I have. Got it for $250 last year during holiday deals and I really like it for the price.

Seems to be the same on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BU40DbCSV6DMQ
Has two in the warehouse for $285 as well.

I'm fairly sure the panel is the exact same as all the 28" 4k TN monitors already out there which claims to be 10-bit but I assume is 8 or 6-bit with FRC.

Like this monitor: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC

The color shift wouldn't be the biggest concern for me at least. I would have to think long and hard between a 144Hz VA and a 240Hz TN for the difference in contrast alone.

$234 on Amazon.

With your CPU usage being that high, open task manager and find out what's using most of your resources. Prebuilts often come with a ton of manufacturer's bloatware.

Otherwise, there's not really a whole lot else worth straight up upgrading in your system right now. The 7700 is a great CPU, and the 1070 is a great GPU. You're at 1080p60, so there's not really a lot more performance you can squeeze out of that resolution/refresh rate for games. Nvidia's RTX cards just launched, but there's really no data for them other than they're the standard improvement over last gen's cards since literally nothing supports ray tracing yet. There's info circulating around AMD putting up GPUs on a 7nm process soon, but same with the RTX cards, it's probably wise to wait until more information is available before deciding on either. However, the 1080ti is likely going to take a dive in price pretty soon given the RTX release and Nvidia coming back into possession of thousands of Pascal boards once the crypto market demand died down. If you decide to step up your GPU, you might want to check into higher resolution and higher refresh panels as well, as there's not really more performance you can squeeze out of 1080p60 by upgrading your hardware. I've got this 1440p144hz panel and this 4k60 panel, and they're both outstanding performers for the price. You'd definitely need to up your GPU to drive them to their full potential, but it kinda sounds like you're thinking about doing that anyway, and like I said there's really not a whole lot more you can get out of 1080p60 that you aren't already getting out of your current hardware.

As for your CPU, not really a whole lot of point in upgrading there. Coffee Lake is just a hardware refresh of Kaby Lake [your CPU family], and Kaby Lake is just a hardware refresh of Skylake. It's a quad-core cpu, but it's hyperthreaded, which means it essentially functions as an 8-core. There's really no reason to put money into upgrading it until something actually better comes along.

But then again, these could all be totally moot points. Building a pc is a lot of fun and a great way to get to know every single bit of hardware in your rig. Given that you've already got a very well-performing pc, it might be worth your while to just put down some cash for an inexpensive pc just to fuck around with, like a Ryzen 3 GT 1030 build. It's a great way to learn more about hardware and how it interacts with your os without having to put down a ton of money, and it isn't necessarily devastating if you break your OS tinkering because all your more important data is elsewhere.

It's a little bigger than what you're looking for but checks the rest of the boxes on your list.

Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor with Freesync support https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gcqzzbDE20SNT

It really depends on the person. Some people can't live without 4K once they've gotten a taste of it, others like myself are perfectly content with 1080p.

[The LG 24UD58-B] (https://www.amazon.com/LG-24UD58-B-24-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01LPNKFK0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1517855573&sr=1-3&keywords=4k+monitor) is an Amazon Choice^TM product, whatever that means. Supports Freesync too, which your 470 will love.

[The Samsung U28E590D] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1517855573&sr=1-5&keywords=4k+monitor) is a 4K monitor with Freesync. A little more expensive, because it has PIP 2.0 capabilities.

If your rig can't handle a certain game at 4K, you can always lower the resolution back to 1080p (1440p will cause scaling issues and look terrible, you'll want 1080p).

That isn't a listing from Newegg.ca, it is a third party seller. The same monitor can be had at amazon.ca for $550 CAD.

That same seller has this $1000 Samsung ultrawide listed for more than 3 grand.

If you shop around, you can actually end up getting comparable prices to US retailers, especially with some of the AIB 1080s that have come out.

I have the same issue - I have the samsung u28e590d monitor which is a 4K monitor as well - https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/

I have 4K UHD selected as the resolution, and in advanced settings -> TV details it says "Your TV supports 4K UHD" (60Hz) but then under games it says " Your TV setup does not support 4K 10-bit at 60Hz. However, you can still upscale to 4K by choosing the 4K UHD TV resolution setting"

Both mine and the OP Monitor obviously supports 4K 60Hz gaming.. so why does the XBOX ONE X say otherwise?

The $300 Samsung 28" is 4k with freesync, no vesa mount though, is absolutely friggen tempting.

It should be able too. I'm currently waiting to get a 144hz. (I have a 4K 60hz.) This model to be exact. (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC)
I can run Witcher 3 at max settings besides hairworks and get between 50-60fps in 4K

Wasn’t sarcasm, sorry. I just woke up when writing that so it came across weird.

It does identify as the “U“ version instead of “UP“? Interesting… I have to find my receipt then and see which I have.

EDIT: https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-vg271u-pbmiipx-um-hv1aa-p01-27/p/N82E16824011278?Item=N82E16824011278 I've definitely got the U, found my Newegg purchase history and this was the one I bought.

EDIT2: For what it's worth this is my 4k monitor (which I was able to turn 10 bit depth on in the nvidia control panel) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/

Picture showing 10-bit is turned on

Picture from within the nvidia control panel

It might not actually work, and only display at 8bit or something, but... yeah.

is buying freesync monitor useless if i have nvidia card?
thinking bout this monitor

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00YD3DBOC&linkCode=as2&tag=4k0e-20&linkId=WP7QSUR3KIETBEE7

SAMSUNG U28E590D currently $250 $300 $330 on amazon for blk friday.

edit: when i bought an hour ago it was $250. dunno if ya'll consider $300 a good deal, but i feel like 4k "UHD" 1ms latency is pretty rad on a 28".

Edit 2: price went up more.

How's this one compared to yours? I like the price of this one, doesn't look as pretty but still a very nice monitor overall.

Am I only going to get 4k at 30hz? does that limit 60fps game play regardless of resolution?

Ok so this is the monitor


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YD3DBOC/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1



It says it has the AMD freesync, but I have the 1070. So am I out of luck or would that work?

Then again I don't recommend 4K monitors and tell everyone to get a 3440x1440p one which are generally more expensive.

I successfully built the PC last week and everything is good! Thanks again for all your help.
I'm still waiting for the gpu.
BUT I just bought a 4k monitor because I got excited lol.. was $300
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

So I have the 144hz monitor that you recommended and a different monitor(will probably return)

What should I do from here? Would it be fine to use this 4k monitor in 1440? It seems this monitor was cheaper than most 1440 monitors.
I would probably play my higher fps games on the original 144hz you recommended and Witcher 3 type games on this 4k monitor.
Should I go for a better gpu? Is 4k an option or would I need like a 1070?
I guess both my monitors would have AMD Free Sync.. so am I stuck with getting an AMD card or would a Nvidia card be fine with this? I thought I read that there was a free sync Nvidia hack to get it to work with it.

I'm in a similar situation. I work 10-12 hours a day on code and data. As a result, I want a 32" 4k monitor without a strong anti-glare coating. That way I can run my monitor at 100% scale and get sharp text. I currently have a Samsung U28E590D that I took the anti-glare off, and the text is very sharp compared to most monitors. Unfortunately, it's a touch too small to run in 100% zoom, so I have it set to 125%. Also, I didn't get a perfect result, there are some dim spots on the monitor that appear to be behind the plastic, but in front of the LCDs themselves.

I have a Dell XPS 9575 with a 4k glossy screen and it has the sharpest text I've seen. Unfortunately, I have to run it at 150% when I work directly on it. I have to drop the resolution to 1080p when I mount it on a monitor arm beside my primary monitor.

My dream is to find a large 4k without that crappy anti-glare coating.

In the past few months, I've tested an LG 32UD59-B . It's coating makes the text look like you're viewing it through bug screen. I've also tried the LG 34WK95U-W, it has the same anti-glare coating. I went to the apple store and looked at an LG UltraFine 5k, While the monitor isn't glossy, it's not as bad a coating as the other two LGs I tried. Unfortunately, it's 27" and as a result, I had to set the zoom to 125% to make the text comfortable from a sitting distance (24").

I also tested an Alienware AW3418DW, It had a strong coating on it that made the text blurry. Also, It wasn't a 4k monitor. I've reached out to Dell, and they claim all their monitors have an anti-glare coating now, so I'm reluctant to order them and then have to return it. I've also visited Local

I'm almost to the point where I'd be willing to pay someone to take one of the best rated 32" 4k monitors and strip the coating off. My hope is someone can get a better result than I did. The other option is to find out who manufactures the panels for one of these high-end 4k monitors, and order one direct from the manufacturer without adding the coating to it.

I'm running it on one of these - It's a 28" Samsung monitor, I highly recommend it.

I wanted 4k capability but I only ever us TN panels. It's a nice middle ground of visual quality and response time, and imo pretty cheap for 60hz 4k capable.

There is a 300 dollar or so one that some times goes on sale at Best Buy or Amazon. Best Buy Amazon There is also a 24inch version on Amazon apparently. It took me having 2x980s at the time to run games decent at 4k, even some of those I couldn't max. I ended up with this instead when it died. It looks a lot better than the 4k, obviously more expensive, but I love the thing.

It's VESA mountable, I just looked at in Costco this afternoon and saw the appropriate mounting holes on the back.

Here it is on Amazon showing the holes:

Hitman Complete for $16, and a 28" 4k/60hz monitor for $250 (put a price watch on it. It's been hitting $250 all week.)

I have this one. Not sure if this is your price range but I can recommend it. Before my current monitor this was one monitors I had for a couple of days. It had coil whine in standby so I had to return it but mb it was just bad luck.

I bought my 28 inch 4k for $270, or so, refurbished.

of course it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. There's a dead pixel here and there but barely noticeable and sometimes they disappear or I just don't notice.

The Dell has HDR which is a better dynamic range on lighting. I'm sure it's a nice monitor but $2k is a lot of money and I don't think 4k is usually worth it. But it also depends on your budget.

Yes this one is fantastic and is cheaper than some 2k monitors!

Only 60hz though but it does have the 1ms you're looking for. I have multiple gaming friends with sick rigs who own this bad boy and they're all loving it.

Only thing to note is that it doesn't have built in speakers.

I picked up this Samsung TN model for $250 on Thanksgiving:

It's out of your price range now as Amazon has it out of stock, but worth keeping an eye on as it's dropped down to $250 a couple of times lately:

Yes. You should be able to do that. There are adapters (albeit pricey) that will convert thunderbolt in to pretty much anything you want. However, there are alternatives to the LG 4k display at lower price and same quality/size that will be no fuss/ minimal adapters to get working with an older MacBook pro. Not to mention of course it will work with your future
new one as well.


Cough cough this monitor is better Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qWoqybF7AKF13

No problem! I have this guy running on my second old PC and ps4..

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

It says that it has a 4ms response time, but that is a bit deceptive. There is a term for how quickly a pixel can turn on and a term for how quickly a pixel changes when you press some input. I dont recall exactly which one is which. I'd recommend looking it up.

Saying that, you really dont need a super expensive monitor to get good input latency. But if you want to use it for watching movies, or something like that, you might want to look at something with 4k.

I bought it at Costco:

https://m.costco.com/Samsung-28-4K-Ultra-HD-Monitor.product.100293526.html?langId=-1&krypto=DuWxwR82SQtQfnoplkRc0WJfD2NEYWR4RGfgl7SSle4pKRhOtB3GVGotEpmu8hbWWe5FflcxQkaJCF4q8OU5NvnjfMzlQENdDHlxqZgghqXUjp99%2Bdufbgx0xRMK6waA55V60u2d2vUVktlLBIAXuN8CXBK5FIxo7Hy38E1DemnkEdqUjBnfrqEqhjHm0PnG

According to the AMD monitor list, this one only supports Freesync via DisplayPort not HDMI.

Right now I have the Samsung 4k 28in monitor I've been using since I've built my computer back in Oct of 2015. I never had any problem reach the 60FPS.

I've been known of these monitors along with ACERs new version, Acer Predator XB273K, but with HDR400 instead of 1000. Along with the price drop of about $600.

I've always been thinking of buying it but halting myself because of the issues from all the forums and posts everyone that had one with it. I have no problem it seems from the subsampling if needed for the higher frames for the degrade in pixel color. I am not worried about the fan noise in the monitor to be a problem cause of the water-cooling in my computer with all the fans will drown that noise out.

If anyone has any advice or if anyone knows if they will release a new Rev of them, please let me know.

The monitors will be listed below:

Dell, Asus, BenQ, LG, and Samsung all seem to be good brands for monitors. You should be able to find something good for $400-$500. If you're interested in 16:10 you're probably looking at a max resolution of 1920x1200 up to 26 inches in that price range. At 16:9 you can find resolutions up to 4K in a similar size. Bump the resolution down to 1440p and you could increase the size.

Here's some decent ones. I'm no expert so definitely look through the reviews for any issues.

Hey guys, so I've decided to get innto the 4K world. I need help about the 4k monitors. Unfortunately I don' live in USA or any other country that has a lot of options to choose from, and importing is a no go. So these are the ones that fits in my budget and I can find it where I live:

Main focus is gaming, a little on my PC (it can run some games in 4K) and mainly on my ps4 pro. Thank you.

​

PS: I know that some people will say that 27" is too small for 4K, but I'm convinced in getting one nevertheless, so please help me

I went with this:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

It works great. Never had an HDR setup, so I don't miss it not being there and the picture looks fantastic from a few feet away. I have it connected to my PC, PS4 and PS3 and switching between the three is fairly painless.

Just ordered one, been waiting for a sale since I waterlogged my monitor by lifting a bookshelf over my desk alone like an idiot.

My old monitor is below, I'm hoping the upgrade to 144hz is better than the 4k. I honestly didn't care for the 4k as many games don't support the resolution and UIs are always tiny.

Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch 4k UHD LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC

I have a 1080, but I didn't want to spend extra for gsync. Do you need freesync to use 144hz? I also saw a workaround posted for using freesync and Nvidia but it looks like you need an AMD card to boot to?

if its from 10 years ago then its obviously more fuzzy, but most modern displays are much more clear. here's a 27" 1080p144Hz monitor: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-GN276HL-bid-27-inch-Display/dp/B01DHTWWTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500493559&sr=8-1&keywords=27%22+144Hz


and if you want the display to be even more sharp you can go with this one (which is 1440p): https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2770PQU-Ultimate-Performance-Professional/dp/B01G5JYN0C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500493739&sr=8-2&keywords=27%22%2B144Hz%2B1440p&th=1 (although note that with a GTX 970 you wont be able to achieve 1440p@144, on the 1080p monitor you'll be able to achieve so on low settings probably.

here is an extremely sharp monitor, which is probably the same as your mac display, but you probably won't be able to game on it with it's ful potential: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=sr_1_1?srs=11598814011&ie=UTF8&qid=1500493981&sr=8-1&keywords=4k+monitor

Got this one yesterday at a discount. Pretty happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=samsung+uhd+28&qid=1551375984&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Ill talk a little further look into it. like i said im not to good with my specs just yet.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC

this is the monitor i have right now.

Drastic price difference? 28in Monitor vs 40in TV, the TV is bigger so it's a little more expensive.

It's a b-stock as has been said.

And this is the monitor I have laying around the house: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824022246

I would strongly recommend the 27" screen. I upgraded from a 23" to a 27" last year and was blown away at the improvement. If it seems too big at first I guarantee you'll adapt within a week or two.

Here's an alternative setup I'll suggest for design work to give you some more flexibility, more screen real estate, and comparable specs at roughly the same price as a 27" iMac:

• Instead of an iMac, go for a 13" MacBook Pro (or even a high-spec 13" Air) at about $1200.
  
• Buy a 28" 4K monitor for around $400.
  
  Output from the MacBook to your display and pick up a USB keyboard and mouse for essentially the same experience as you'd get with an iMac. In addition, you can set the two up side-by-side and have a main display and a smaller display, with the bonus of being able to disconnect and carry your MacBook around with you as needed.

I upgraded from a Samsung older 4k 28" monitor to the new LG 27UK600 and while the picture is pretty color wise if someone is wanting to save a little money to get into 4k gaming I highly suggest looking at cheaper options.

This Samsung makes a very nice picture for the price and the colors are quite nice.

Samsung U28E590D. 28 inch 4K monitor with very fast 1ms refresh rate for just under $300. I have on for my PC and it is a great entry level 4K display.

Samsung UE590 28" 4K and Edifier Studio Monitors

I have a 4k monitor too.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

I use this one and it's pretty solid for gaming. Good picture, good response time, handles motion fine. No complains at all besides the lack of adjustable stand.

Edit: actually that's a lie. The only other downside I can think of is that freesync is DP only, and only 1 HDMI supports 60hz/4k.

If like to show you to this [samsung] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC) monitor. I've been using it for about a year and its marvelous. Only downside I have with it is the bright as the noon day sun stand by led. Good lord. I had to cover it with electrical tape to keep myself sane.

This one doesn't have VESA mount so bear that in mind. I personally don't use VESA but if you plan on it then that's something to consider.

This monitor here?

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

60 hz at 4k?

I'd go with 1440p or if your system can handle it 4K then. 144hz would be smoother, yes, but it wouldn't matter as much in those games.

Samsung has a nice 28" 4K monitor for relatively cheap with a PLS panel https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC
I'd avoid any TN panels on 27"+ monitors because of the viewing angle.

It's $10 cheaper on Newegg than the Amazon listing so you still save money.

This is 1440p for any that is wondering. The 4K is this one.

So im stuck between a few 4k monitors right now.

1 is TN, 1ms response, freesync
the other is IPS, 6ms response no freesync
Both are 60hz

My issue is, is 6ms really that noticeable? I dont really play FPS too often but i do play Doom, LFD2 and Deus Ex.

Also is Freesync really worth it if i go AMD, opposed to getting just a 60hz monitor no freesync And is TN really washed out compared to IPS?

2 monitors:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2715Q-27-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFO8
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UHD-QHD-Monitor-U28E590D-28-Inch/dp/B00YD3DBOC

This is a good choice for that price range.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

But I personally recommend you an IPS Monitor like the one I have due to the higher viewing angles and color accuracy

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IRQAYPE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511465289&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=lg+27ud58&dpPl=1&dpID=513wn0vKeEL&ref=plSrch

And of you like the second one and you want it with a better stand, there's a model called UD58-P.

Thanks a lot for helping a random stranger on the internet. I have been doing some research of my own and here is what I found.

NCX is a user that frequently comments on this subreddit and I have read some of his stuff.

He mostly recommends the HP 25xw. The problem is I have no way of buying it in Germany. Amazon only lets me buy the 24xw or the 27xw. Do they have the same panel, just in different sizes? Apparently they are extremely similar https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/4qi9gj/should_i_buy_the_hp_25xw_or_27xw/d4tttwt

He also recommends the Philips 257E7 however I can't buy that in Germany.

He posts a link to some website that reviews monitors but it is down for me.

However I have also read that a 25 inch 1080p should be the limit. If you go any bigger, 1080p doesn't do it anymore. This thread however says it looks great https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/4px8hw/is_the_hp_27xw_worth_it/


Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474735601&sr=8-1&keywords=Samsung+U28E590D is also in my budget.


Edit: I have researched some more and stumbled upon AMD's FreeSync. My current card doesn't support it. You know what? I think I will actually buy a new gpu if it helps me use a better monitor. Your thoughts?

Me and my gf purchased one of these each august last year. We've been really happy with them ever since!

That's not 4K, it's 1080p.

This one is 4K.

Yup I've got 16gig ddr3 1333mhz ram. and a 256 kingston SSD. not too sure of the quality of either as I didn't source the parts, but I did some trials yesterday and it shredded everything I could throw at it in Lightroom. 100 5dmkiii raw files took about 5 min. to render 1:1 previews. Ground through the pictures in the library/develop module was snappy. Edits in develop module were snappier than I am accustomed to as well even on a 4k screen. (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC) (granted the performance might be due to a clean reboot.) HDR merge didn't seem any faster than before.

Samsung , not the best but it suits me just fine. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC

eidt: that is not the EXACT model # I have, but close enough. I have a newer version and slightly differnt model #

EVGA GTX 970

Is this better than this samsung 4k 60hz monitor I can get for $270 with my amazon echo? Also, as far as I can tell it is a TN panel, not IPS, but if anyone can confirm I would appreciate it.

Thanks

This 4k 28" monitor from Samsung was reduced from $370 to $280 on Prime day.

Sorry you didn't find a good deal.

Really damn tempted. Been looking for a monitor for my 1070 but this might be overkill right

It is a bit of a hassle but the image it produces is superior.

Personally I have this monitor coupled with a GTX 1060. I will never go back to 8bit.

Only looks like it goes to 60hz, but https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YD3DBOC/ref=gbmg_mob_m-5_57a6_6e3d66f7?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&dealid=6e3d66f7&pf_rd_p=877deadb-5ddd-49cb-aa42-85266d8957a6&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-5&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_i=13887280011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=MRYRWK7YJQFD7RD7J1TN

Also there's a $300 4k monitor from samsung on Amazon.
