Best 4k monitor for work use (no gaming) around $500?

[scotty_2011]

Hi guys,

I need to replace my work monitor (dell 30" @ 2560x1600), and I'm thinking of a 4k monitor.

@Newegg I found these choices. They are all in the similar price range - which one would be the best choice?

1. Dell P2815Q
2. Samsung U28D590D
3. Acer B286HK
4. Viewsonic VX2880ml
5. Planar IX2850

My desktop cannot power a 4k monitor, so what would be the best choice among these cards?
1. EVGA 01G-P4-2751-KR G-SYNC
2. XFX R7-250E-ZNP4
Any recommendations on a reasonably priced card that can support the monitors above?

Thanks!

i wouldnt prefer DELL or VIEWSONIC as they cannot do 60hz at 4k.

about the gpu although only for working i would prefer one with 2gb of vram since they will be working with 4k res. also gtx 750 would be my preference since more psu friendly and faster!

Thanks Chris - The video card specs don't show dual DP for 60hz support... am I reading it wrong?

''All GeForce GTX 600 and 700 series GPUs can support 4K resolutions through DisplayPort. The NVIDIA driver automatically detects 4K 60Hz tiled format, so no special user set up is required. In order to power games at this resolution with settings turned up NVIDIA recommends GTX 780 SLI or better.''

dual hdmi would be needed for 4k 60hz however thats not the case with DP!
