Samsung Launches Pair Of UHD FreeSync Displays; 4K Starting At $400

[Guest]

The idea of gaming at 4K has been a dream for many gamers for a long time, but displays with this resolution typically have slower panels, not suited for games. Samsung may have just the answer for that with its new UHD displays.

4K for $400? Sold!

4k @ 24" is smexysharp ppi.

At 28", I think Acer beat you to a better monitor there, Samsung:

I reserve judgement until they're tested. However, I would like to know what range they support for adaptive sync.

Way too small for 4k entry point is about 43" which works out to a quad 21.5" 1080p display. You don't see a lot of 1080p displays below 21.5" for a reason.

But, but, but… I need a 32”+ 4k display gosh darned it!

23" 4k, are folks using binoculars with these displays?

It is a shame that none of AMD's new video cards support HDMI 2.0. This keeps people from using 4K TVs as 60Hz computer monitors since most have only HDMI 2.0 as a viable computer input.

You can buy a 43" 4k TV for $580. Anything under 40" for 4k is too small and a waste of time and money.

Let's not forget though, that as a desktop monitor, it will be less than 3 feet from the standard users eyes. I have a pair of 27" 1440p monitors. If I were going to look at 4k (2160p) I'd be looking at 32"

Checklist for my next dual monitor setup upgrade:
1. IPS
2. Freesync
3. <5 ms response time
4. QHD
5. Quantum Dots
6. ~27"
7. <$350 each

What's the RANGE that asynchronous mode works?

40Hz to 60Hz?

Thus, if you're below 40FPS or above 60FPS the benefits of the mode aren't there. WORSE YET, you'll be moving from synchronous to asynchronous mode constantly unless you can stay in that zone.

Seriously 144Hz is a necessity and you can't do that at 4K yet.

my iPad has better dpi than 24" 4K screen has. So there definitely is need for better resoluution screens! I keep my 1440p 27" screen very near to me and it has much worse picture quality than my iPad have. Ofcourse if you looknypu monitori several feets away, the resoluution is not so important.
I thinking that most people who tinks that 4k is not useilla in 24" Are people who don't have a moder os that scales wiell with high resoluution material or looknypu the monitor 10-20 feets a way in living room or similar space.
It is much easier to read text From high resolution monitor! The text is sharp and don't tire your eyes so easily.

that U24E590D, really tempting..

to bad the price here will be about 500$-600$....
(damn that greedy tax, etc..), I guess I have start saving again...

Should be 144hz, still buying Benq xl2730z

Any press release, news post or review about a FreeSync monitor that does not mention the range of refresh rates that can be dynamically set by FreeSync is doing it wrong. FreeSync isn't just about what frequency the monitor can get UP to, it's just as if not more important what frequency it can get DOWN to as well!

Yeah if you're talking Z grade, low quality brand X panels. Anything decent you're going to be paying well over $1200 for.

Where oh where are the 30 inch plus IPS Gsync 4K monitors. 24-28 inch way too small for 4K.

 

[CROOKID]

No IPS. No money. Sorry Samsung. Dell just has you beat in this space.

30hz is just 2 60hz frames, there's not really any reason to have anything go below 40hz, plus the higher the refresh rate, the more integer divisible rates you can derive, if we had a 240hz monitor we wouldn't need dynamic rates as most common rates, 24, 30, 48, 60 are factors of 240.

The 24" one using PLS a Samsung variant of IPS
(they want to create their own brand/thec, but it's a IPS variant)..
