Hey!
Even though my pc and consoles are not fully 4k ready (gtx 1060 6gb and ps4), I am looking at 4k upgrade options.
I am running 4k dsr in all of my older games and 4k dsr 30fps in some newer games.
Right now I am using 27" 1080p ips. It's hp 27ea. Almost glossy (sweet) ips with good colors and ok bleeding and while the resolution is ok, I am thinking about upgrading more and more just because of media content (yt, movies), games and 10bit... as I've said - I am running 1440p or 4k dsr as often as I can since aliasing sucks.
There are 2 main options - LG and Asus as in the title. Asus is 100$ more expensive and:
+Has real black bezels - helps with perceived contrast and build quality
+has nicer looking stand...
And that's it. not sure if those advantages are worth 100$. The main concern for me is 720p (old consoles) and 1080p (1080p limited games like bloodborne) scaling. I know that NO monitor does 1080p nn scaling to 4k. But the amount of bilinear blurring does change from model to model. Prad.de review of PB27UQ says that monitor does PERFECT 1080p scaling. I cannot find anything on LG though and I do not trust Prad since their 720p interpolation image is super weird too...
Overall - I don't care for glossy black fake bezels and hdr, so Asus seems better but the price is not too inviting. Any opinions?
