ViewSonic adds VX2880ml with 28" 4k Resolution

this resolution is not healthy for gaming , 2 780ti wont give you the satisfaction
Two years or three from now maybe

 

Not for AAA titles maybe, but there's a lot of games that's perfectly playable at 4k. Regardless, the exact same thing happened when 1200p/1080p started becoming a thing - everyone who was still primarily 1440x900 and 1280x1024 had to wait a few years after 1200p/1080p became affordable. Personally, I didn't step to up 1080p until 2009 with a dual HD4870 system.

 

You will need to lower some settings like with 3 monitors setup. But outside some particulary extreme case.. keeping around 60fps is not so hard. just need to optimize a bit the quality, starting by MSAA.

When you come from 2560x1440-1600 setup, the jump is not so big. something like 1080p > 1600p.

Now im not really sure i want to switch my 27" WQHD for a 28" .. Surely more for a 32"..

 

About 535.76 US Dollars, an very good price for an 28" 4K monitor.

 

I think most newer cards will run games fine @ a 4k res

It just means you would have to turn all the eye-candy way down.

I think even my machine could do 4k @ 30+ fps if i turned everything to low.

Maybe some games would struggle, Watch Dogs for example but a lot of games i'm playing right now would be fine.

 

Nah. You don't have to turn things all the way down. Simply lowering some settings here and there is all that's needed for most high end cards. For example, a GTX 770 can pull around 40-45 fps in Battlefield 4 at 4k by simply disabling MSAA and lowering the post process effects while keeping everything else at high or ultra. Watch Dogs is a terrible example of 4k gaming since its horribly optimized.

 

this is probably the most reasonably priced 4k screen ive seen so far converted thats about 600-650$ i may finally be able to upgrade.

 

so no mention of refresh rate so it's probably only 30Hz seeing as it only uses one DP cable or HDMI cable (it takes two DP cables to do 60Hz)

 

I don't think it was meant for gaming, judging by the marketing around it.

 

I totally agree with 4K not being quite ready yet.

2K is the sweet spot for 60fps+

My rig can do it easily with my specs. I just have some Vram limitations with some newer games.

 

Yeah, totally agree. Plus, I feel like 36" would really be where the size should be. Probably ridiculous looking to have that in front of you, but it seems like about 100 ppi is good. Probably could really even do a 40". I can't even imagine web browsing in front of that...

 

Still prefer to rock my 120 fps and 120 Hz so no go for me. 1080p is here to stay for a while for us that are more fps hungry.

 

Me too, I use 144hz (or 144fps) and it's awesome, so, 1080p will be a lot of years!

 

This is actually false. HDMI is limited to 4k30 while DP can do 4k60 with a little room to spare. This monitor can do 60hz when using DP and is limited to 30hz when using hdmi at 4k. it can still do 1440/1080p60 using hdmi as well.

 

i want to buy this but not sure

this or

Samsung U28D590D

 

edit - delete

 

Price is good, I would like to have 4k screen with FPR 3D passive filter and maybe higher refresh rate.
But at this price I would take it just for passive 3D and regular work.
For games I would keep 120Hz/VR.

 

This is awesome. No need for super sampling AA because of the high pixel density 8)

 

I be more impressed when i see 24" monitors anything bigger then that and i might as well use my HDTV for everything which isnt gona happen.
