The most expensive monitor!

[paulpicks21]

OMG, this monitor is awesome, but £3000! Seriously how good can it be for that price!

Asus PQ321QE 4K Super-High Resolution Widescreen Monitor - Black [PB321QE]

You could build a top PC with 3 1080p screens for less than the cost of this!

Yeah not really, but I guess it excels in other areas!

They will be around $1000-1500 before the end of the year. Asus, and the others with 4K resolution monitors will soon find out that the market isn't there for this kind of hardware at that price. Sony brought out their first 4K TV at something like $25000, and the very next model they dropped it to $5000........it's about what people will pay for it, and 99% of people won't pay a premium for that. Also, it's not that much more expensive to make them, so I don't know who is setting their pricing, but they need to be fired.

Oh for sure it's for publishing or photo editing and solid pantone representation.

Whoops I just ordered 3

 

[kbrady1979]

Did you order another video card or two to run those bad boys?

 

[paulpicks21]

Yeah right lol, although they sound nice, like you say, nobody will buy them at that price!

 

[Lava King]

It's always been that way at the introduction of a new technology or device. Remember the first home VCRs? Very expensive when introduced but prices dropped quickly.

I waited until the price of a CD burner (HP) dropped to around $100 US before I bought one. :shock:
Still have it, as a matter of fact, and it might even work!

As for DVD burners, well, I waited until they hit $150 US before I bought one (Sony). Still have that, too, it's in my "media repository" machine. Burned a data DVD with it just last week.

To run Crysis 3 maxed out on one of those would take tri-SLI Titans. So another $3,000 on top to feed it!

It would be awful to use for day to day stuff like surfing, my main 3 screens are 2560x1440 and I need to have everything zoomed in to make it readable or not look lost on the page.

Yeah. I just use 1366×768 for Windows so I can see what I'm doing, and that's on a 46 inch "monitor." Granted, I sit several feet away from it though. I leave the 1920×1080 for movies and games.

Is that at the normal DPI? Also, how far are you away from them?

 

[z3r010]

Normal dpi from a few feet away.

 

[kbrady1979]

Reason I ask is because I'm looking to upgrade to that resolution sometime in the near future. Thanks

response 8ms....yikes that's nothing to brag about?

This. I would probably aim for something with 1-2ms, but the other specs are truly awesome

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Exactly but wouldn't 8ms be rather laggy while gaming. My current monitors are 3ms and do an ok job, not sure at what ms rating the speed will impede viewing pleasure?

 

[Solarstarshines]

My monitor is 1ms but still gaming on the internet you will still get Ping lag and you will see it drawn out but most of the time it's straight and crisp
