    I have 1 more day to decide if I want this to replace my current Eyefinity setup. I don't care if it's a TN or IPS panel and I have no need of 120 HZ. It would run on the rig in my sig and 4K gaming at or near 60 FPS is all I'm looking for (with good refresh rate and no AA). This seems like a pretty good deal at only $300.

    Can anyone influence me one way or the other?

    I would have thought 4K on a TN panel would be kind of pointless, you will just have finer details with crappy colour and black reproduction :bonk:

    Well if your OK with TN then it is a fair deal, is your current eyefinity setup also TN?

    Its just you might notice color shift because the monitor is 28" and your eyes might have to move.

    Yes, my current setup is TN panels. I don't anticipate it being an issue with the 4K, but I've never used one with that high of a resolution on a single screen, so we shall see I guess. lol As for the size of the screen, I have the option to mount it on a wall that's ~20" behind my desk if it turns out to be too close for comfortable viewing.
