Asus joins a handful of companies making UltraHD desktop monitors affordable to consumers with its $649 for the 4K display model PB287Q.
The 4K screen, Asus PB287Q, has an impressive list of features: 3840×2160-pixel resolution, LED backlighting, two HDMI 1.4 ports, a single DisplayPort 1.2, a bright 330 cd/m2 luminance rating, and 1 millisecond gray-to-gray response time. It offers picture-in-picture as well as picture-by-picture support, a highly flexible stand with height adjustment, pivot, swivel, and tilt capabilities, MHL support, and built-in 2W speakers that don’t sound too bad for built-in 2W speakers.
BTW, size? 28-inch and can pivot into portrait mode!
Quoted from PCWorld, “Looking at some test photos, the colors on the Asus were a little muted compared to the Sharp…”
“If you absolutely need an Ultra HD display to view large images or to work on 4K video, the Asus PB287Q is an affordable, serviceable option. It works best with a DisplayPort 1.2, so make sure that your existing hardware is compatible,” says PCWorld as it wraps up its review story.
