Previews - First Look: AOC U2868PQU 4K Monitor

[dfour]

I would love a 4K monitor but think I will wait to see the price drop and IPS versions appear at low price points.

I would love to splash the cash on a 4k display, but having to also splash the cash on a GPU that can push out 60pfs at that resolution makes the proposition an expensive one. Maybe in a year or two Displayport 1.2a will reduce the need to have so much grunt in the GPU department.

Large bezels are large

You were intending to run more than one of them? Some triple screen gaming perhaps?

I don't think any combination of graphics cards currently available could drive three 4k monitors at playable framerates for gaming.

Beginning to think i should have gone for something like this instead of going 3 screens. What to do, what to do.......

Argh, if they did a 1440p version, even if 27", with IPS and the speakers were same or better then my laptop I'd buy one ASAP.

I'm wondering why there's four USB ports when supposedly the reviewer goes on about the lack of elegance to the whole thing to keep costs down. Either the reviewer is just down selling the product for his preference of design or the makers really should have left that out..

Why is there USB ports on monitors now days, who asked for them? The same concept of why there's no speakers on monitors, they have the common sense to not include that, why not consider USB ports as being something the user has the means to arrange themselves too.

I hear that, there are third party tools atm that will do it but it really needs to be built into windows. In fact, I don't know about windows 8 but in Win7 there are issues with multiple monitors like you can only snap to the left half of the left-most monitor, right half of right-most and so on. I'm using winsplit to get around that and add keyboard shortcuts but it's a bit buggy :/

What's wrong with holding the Windows key down and pressing the arrows on your keyboard? You can snap to any half of the screen using this.

Shame it isn't IPS, would love to upgrade to 4k but don't want to go back to a TN panel.
