This monitor strikes a sweet spot to me in being large enough for normal 100% text scaling while also having 144hz for gaming. 43" (or even 40") is too much head movement and 32" 4K monitors a bit too small for 100% text scaling (imho). However it appears that Asus is the only user of the panel...

Nobody mention this one from the popular thread. This has a 4000:1 contrast ratio with VA panel: GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U. This seems close enough to fit the bill on paper.

I'm still rocking my Crossover 404k from 2015. It sucks for games and is less than ideal for most things - except for incredibly sharp high contrast, deep black text. The Philips Computer Monitor BDM4037UW interested me a year or two ago, being similar and curved, but it appears it's gone now...

There are lot of opinions, here's mine: VA: sucks for gaming. I can't stand the ghosting. I'll never buy one again for this purpose; I'm too sensitive to ghosting. VA is best for desktop / programming use however due to extremely high contrast, text is ultra sharp. IPS: Best if you want the...

If you want a workstation and normal 100% text scaling I'd recommend a VA (or IPS) panel and something in the 40" range so you can really can utilize all the real estate with tons of windows. TN panels blow except for gaming.

I had the 31.5" version (VA) and didn't like it at all and I sold it a few months later. As you may know, it's a subjective thing and somewhat game dependent, but I found the ghosting/motion blur unsatisfactory. There are many brands that use these same panels. I personally will always stay...

To clarify more, the only flickering I get with the 3 foot is initially at OS start. The 6 foot would occasionally blank out at random times, after start up. I think there's a thread somewhere on the best cables to get that are truly certified for Displayport.

I'm using HD 530 (Intel built in video) via DP 1.2 port to a Crossover 404k - 4k, 60hz. I occasionally would get a brief blink out with a 6 foot cable but almost never with a 3 foot cable; I got the same behavior with a GTX660 video card from my previous build. Probably due to quality of the...

Finally sounds like perfection. IPS/Freesync/PWM-free/40"+ (43") I'll be waiting for confirmation on the Freesync working.

Is your view based on experience? 24" 4K means major scaling problems. You'll have to make the fonts huge just to read them, which defeats much of the purpose of having a higher resolution. I had a 28" 4K monitor and found it disappointing after a short while and returned it. I agree the...

Definitely called a monitor, has DP 1.2. LG Panel. Around $850 US. http://prod.danawa.com/info/?pcode=3054169&keyword=42%26quot%3B

Can anyone comment more on the color shifting? I've read both the Seiki and Philips, using the same panel, have "noticeable" color shifting when looking at the sides straight on, compared to the center screen. I know there's a subjective aspect to this, but with claimed 176 degree viewing...

Says shipping in limited quantity end of next month. $999 https://www.facebook.com/seikidigital?fref=nf

Still "early" 2015, no price, scant specs. "Seiki demonstrated its Seiki Pro 32- and 40-inch 4K monitors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015, where I got a chance to see one in action. While the device's size makes it a bit cumbersome for many desktop applications (unless you have an...

I don't agree, mostly because I expect that at 5K and beyond on 40" or smaller the PPI goes up and the text has to be enlarged, which starts defeating much of the purpose of more gross desktop space that comes with higher resolution. Going over 40", even curved, means a lot of head...
