4k monitor on the market. ASUS
As of when this review is being written, it is
the cheapest 4k monitor on the market. ASUS/Lenovo will bring theirs to
the market in a month or so.
This Dell 28" monitor is a great value for the price. It has a lot of connectivity options, doesn't require a high end graphics card for casual (office) use. (don't expect to game on it though - 30hz only). Even the integrated graphics (display port 1.1) on my motherboard (Z87 Extreme4) is sufficient to drive it just as well as my GTX760 card's displayport 1.2. There is no difference in the display's performance between these two sources.
1. Text on white is EXTREMELY washed out. No amount of adjustments to contrast/brightness could make the text in Outlook or IE more detailed. Text in Excel/Word is reasonable though. Text on Chrome toolbars is very blurry (chrome high resolution problem though - not specific to this monitor). I am not sure if this is because it is a TN panel - colors aren't impacted as much. I have used TN panels in the past, and this looks much worse.
2. Mouse pointer lag. In all honesty, it is not terrible. But it is definitely noticeable. Move the cursor around the screen and you may not be able to find the pointer after that (because you can't see the cursor move fast enough).
