"just $800" hahaha, good one!

 

Thought that was funny myself
Just $800
That's just a paycheck

The problem is, in order to be able to use it, one needs at least 30fps provided by the video card, because otherwise it still won't be playable, even with G-sync. And for a perfect experience one needs 60fps from the video card, so with G-sync it becomes perfectly smooth at 144Hz.

And modern video cards are still quite behind from making this possible. Even looking at benchmarks for GTX 980, I'm not sure it will give good experience with 4K as a single card (without SLI). Still, I'd like to see some test results...

I'm still waiting for LG 34UC97 to grab it the moment it appears in shops (next week, according to rumours). I think it will be a far better experience both for games and watching movies.

 

Very interested to see SLi 970's run 4K myself.
Edit: In fact I just found these...

(these are driver 337.88 .though)

 

I guess they mean these monitors are starting to get "a little more affordable" so to speak, but yeah I also chuckled.

Anyway TN panels just look way too bad for anything imho, although G-Syng sound really interesting.

 

Fantastic. Thanks Steve.

 

This monitor is about the same price as the whole iPhone, so guess what I'm going to buy with this money...a PC ofcourse. For $800 it would be a good one.

 

According to those tests, pair of GTX 970 is a killer, and absolutely the best choice in every way. Pretty much every game shows reasonable performance even in 4K. The only exception is Crysis 3, of course which has always been able to suck life out of any hardware.

 

This is great news. If 4K Gsync monitors can be $800, then sub 4K ones will get cheaper that much faster.

 

Give me 4k at 144hz, I'll buy that.

 

Waiting for a point in time where a good 4k screen with a good non TN panel will go for under $600
and there will be a GPU that could run 60FPS 4K for under $600 as well

 

This is a TN panel huh? I have some great advertising catchphrases. "This breakthrough 4K monitor sucks four times as much as your average 1080p TN panel". "Four time the pixels, 1/4 the off angle viewing pleasure".
"For the morbidly stupid, pick yourself up a pair".

You know people, now that IPS has come way down in price, I simply can't imagine even buying another TN panel, let alone paying $800.00 for one.

 

Will be perfect for European 720x576 TV resolution.

 

Must be some dark and remote corner of Europe that you live in. Progressive parts of Europe started broadcasting in 720P - 1080P years ago.

 

So just $800 ! , it doesn't supports even 3D !

 

800$ is still too much. and it's still an TN panel. We need some better and cheaper IPS panels at 120hz

 

To be fair $800 isnt that bad, I paid similar when I got my 120Hz screen and thats only 24".


I also want 200Hz (input) 4K IPS screens aswell

 

As a budget computer user, with little interest in gaming, I welcome news that deals with more affordable 'normal' size monitors (23 inches and less). I hope the introduction of more 4k monitors will drive the prices of smaller monitors down.

does NVidia's g-sync technology cost so much that monitors having that technology costs so much more?

 

ill be right behind you in line
