ASUS PB287Q 28-in 4K Single Stream 60Hz Monitor Review

[Apoptosis]

Legit Reviews jumped onto the 4K bandwagon back in 2013 with the Sharp PN-K321 32-inch class 4K LED-Backlit display. At the time this monitor was around $3500 and the display defaulted to 30 Hz, which meant that games weren’t smooth. In order to produce a 4K Ultra HD display with a more user friendly 60Hz refresh rate, monitor makers are moving over to a single stream (single tile) implementation. This means that as long as you are using DisplayPort 1.2-capable graphics solution that you should be able to just plug and play. There is just a single stream to be had, so the video card driver issues that once plagued so many are gone and 3840x2160 at a 60 Hz refresh rate should be standard. One of the first displays to support for 4K resolutions at 60Hz via DisplayPort's Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode is the ASUS PB287Q. Read on to see what the ASUS PB287Q has to offer.

Love the monitor! Just got mine today and it has a perfect picture even at the default settings. Might have to play around a little with the calibration sometime but right now, doesn't seem to need it.

WOW 4K is incredible! Wonder how good those "Mastered in 4K" blu-rays are any good...

What's really cool is I have the ASUS 4K, and right next to it, on another computer a 1080p, so I can see the difference in quality.
