Hey everyone!
Since 4k is where things are going in long terms, I am thinking about upgrading to 4k... so I started digging again (just months ago I've had 240hz, gsync, 144hz, multiple ips montiors and now have simple hp 27ea as a nice stop gap) and the market is still in a weird/bad place.
TV's are 5 years ahead but only if we talk about 42"+ and that is too big almost for any desk and defeats purpose of high ppi monitor. Unless there are smaller good tv's which I don't know about. It's crazy anyway that 4k 42" hdr is cheaper than 27" monitor.
I think that when talking about 4k we should consider 27-32 monitors and mainly 60hz for now due to there not being much else and pc specs not being there yet and ppi doing the best work at those sizes.
There is also a question of HDR and FALD. There are already HDR10 monitors on the market that properly "accept" hdr 10 signal like LG 27UK line or dell U2718Q. There are also monitors with fald zones from Dell or Asus but they suck, are very expensive and create halos around brighter objects. Nowhere close to oled or hdr on ips tv's.
So there might not even be a point of getting fald or even a 4k monitor that accepts hdr10 signal if it cannot properly display it.
So... that said, any recommendations for 27" 4k monitor? Probably ips without fald zones or hdr10 since it's useless anyway. I want to use it on ps4 and pc.
Anyone experienced with those? I'v seen some reviews and 600:1 contrast does not sound good... if these were at least 1200/1300:1 like 1080p ips monitors are, it would not be so bad. But being that I am used to 27" 1080p, 6bit monitor... 4k, 10bit should at least be some upgrade right?!
