Great as a PC Monitor, Best Value For 4k TV Use

I bought this to serve as a PC monitor - the high resolution and large 39" screen combined to make it a real value. I previously had a 3 monitor setup, and bezels/dragging from screen to screen are now a thing of the past. Factory set brightness is almost blinding - so plenty of headroom there. Viewing angles just slightly less than my IPS panel. Color reproduction is fine once you calibrate it a little bit. Backlight bleed almost non existent on black screen. Wish they would get rid of the "Brand Name Banner" that appears for about 5 seconds full screen when you power it up, though. It will only do 4k @ 30hz and only has HDMI connectivity, but is plenty bright and crisp even at PC-use distances - don't count on playing games at full 4k, unless you have a powerful machine (4 x GTX 680's SLI gets me where I need to be) - this monitor has a massive 8 million pixels on it, and for gaming you need serious hardware to push 8 million pixels. Make sure you consistently get 30FPS and turn on VSync or forget about it. For desktop/web/programming use, just about any recent card will work, and has plenty of real estate for a code editor, email client, web browser, and various other apps on the same screen. The base is adequate, does its job, but does not provide tilt, etc. Does have 400 x 400 VESA mount, though. The display appears to power off like a monitor would when the machine sleeps. I watched some 4k material on YouTube, but NetFlix and the rest need to get behind this before I can seriously look at replacing my actual TV with a 4k. A note, upgrade the firmware upon arrival - it is on their website, you simply find your model, download the file, copy it to a blank USB stick, plug it into the monitor's USB port, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.Read full review
