ASUS PB287Q 28" 4K/ UHD 3840x2160 1ms DisplayPort HDMI Ergonomic Back-lit LED Monitor

This monitor is absolutely amazing for the price. I was initially very disappointed because my mouse seemed to have a delay as it moved across the screen despite the fact that I have a very powerful computer. This was because even if youre using a DisplayPort connection, the monitor is set to use DP v1.1 by default. As you may know DP v1.1 only allows for a 30Hz refresh rate. If you have a video card capable of utilizing DP v1.2 you will need to make sure the monitor is set to use DP v1.2 in order to utilize the full 60Hz refresh rate. Once properly set everything feels extremely smooth and there is no delay. Monitor Settings: Menu -> System Setup -> DisplayPort Stream -> DP 1.2 Computer Settings (Windows 8.1): Right Click on Desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Advanced Settings -> List All Modes -> "3840 by 2160, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz"

the monitor died early this year even though it was never used more than 2-3 hours per week. The Asus franchise refuses to honor their warranty and have one excuse after the other why they can not send me a different monitor as their warranty stipulated and then I would have sent the old one back in the box they sent me. First the needed the serial # twice, then they did NOT have any monitor in stock to send and now I DONT QUALIFY for the replacement. This is the up-to-date result numerous back and forth emails and so far I am still stuck with a dead monitor. I changed my rating to ONE star from 5 due to their dishonorable behavior. I will never buy their product again and I will recommend that buyers beware!

If you think you are getting an "Advance Replacement" monitor shipped to you when this monitor fails (which mine did), you are mistaken. ASUS gets to determine how to allocate their available stock of monitors based on sales demand, standard warranty repairs, and "Advance Replacement" warranties. Its a hoax - dont buy into it if you think youre getting a premium warranty to support mission critical business operations. UPDATE June 5 2017: I waited 6 weeks to see if any units came back into "stock" in order to satisfy the "Advance RMA" warranty benefit. guess what - "still no stock". WHAT A JOKE OF A WARRANTY. STAY AWAY FROM ASUS HARDWARE.

as of 02/2016 this was the way to go for 4K for me. I am doing photo editing so I need the extra resolution for pinpoint accuracy. You get that. In the box is the power cable and an HDMI cable as well as a Display Port cable. I NEEDED the Display port cable to get the 4K . ONCE you can figure out how to set your video card, some smoke and mirrors, watch a few video tutorials, call ASUS who are about NO HELP at all! Play around, study the internet and 7 hours later Whala! DisplayPort 3840 X 2160 @60 HZ. (The obtaining the 60HZ was the hard part to get.) ASUS Support on the internet gave me some clues but I found it not to be windows 10 friendly. I called them and was on hold for over 45 minutes 3 times with no answer. The first (Live Chat) Johnathan Ended the conversation soon as I typed out my problem. Appilonia Only got me to the you need the Display port cable part and bailed out on me. And after that They never answered the phone, Live chat or by e mail again. I figured it out. (By accident so I cant even tell you how) HOWEVER once it is set up. What a pleasure to work Photo editing with. The stand is incredible. (As well as the picture and controls menu) The stand allows you to lift the screen from 1.5 inches off the desk to almost 7.5 inches off the desk with ONE finger! Once you get it up you can Rotate the screen from horizontal to vertical view! This is GREAT for photo editing as you can look at pictures taken with the camera in a vertical orientation without compressing the photo. Makes for easy editing. And its also a great feature to flip the screen this way for the 50 times you will be dealing with the cables while installing, or later on when you want to add or switch cables. This articulation of the screen is a great feature and I might mention it tilts greatly in both vertical and horizontal. You can get the perfect height, angle and orientation with this display! EASILY! Paying over $400 i feel it was certainly worth the money, really wish ASUS was more supportive. I actually always try to buy ASUS because I never have to deal with their support, and good thing. Gamers you CAN get this to do 60HZ and this will be a great gaming display, but I hope you are better at figuring out how than I was.

update. After nearly 9 months to the day of purchase, it developed a white line vertically. Asus support i contacted, filling out form didnt reply to me on day 1. Day 2 I recontacted Asus and was told I need to RMA, no advanced RMA using a credit card hold to obtain new replacement first, gave info for RMA and a shipping label for fedex ground shipping to Industry CA. Thats 5 business day shipping. Then they need 7-10 business days to repair, provided they have parts. Then they return ship, I would imagine also by ground which is 5 days. So basically a month turn around since they refuse to do an advance RMA. Google reviews on Asus Advance RMA. Its a joke where they will not respond and still takes a month.. The products are great while they last then once you have to RMA you might as well buy a non ASUS replacement. Once you get your product back month or longer, its like a surprise gift as originally you were about to put in trash.. Rapid replacement of 1 month is the best case scenario when they go bad... More likely to take MONTHS according to reviews... In the 9 months it did work, it worked great, it was very clear reading text articles online. Good features on monitor for selecting different brightnesss for things like movies gaming etc, Im happy with cost. No dead pixels in year+ using where I use it multiple hours everyday to game or read. Few inches around edges is the amount of back light bleed from edges that is only noticeable when on a black screen during pc boot up. I do not see that during use once it is in Windows 10. The 4k and dpi that Windows 10 auto selected was perfect. I game with a Geforce 1070 at 4k using this monitor and very happy, its 60hz to me so 60fps works well without chopping or lag. The back light bleed during boot up is only imperfection I found causing 4 stars originally prior to the white line issue developing at 9 months.

Works excellently with my laptop via HDMI 1.4. The monitor is displayed using integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000. (NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE NEWEST HDMI STANDARDS, AND THUS IF YOU HAVE HDMI 2.0 YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RUN 4K AT 60 HZ) Out of the box supports 3840x2160@30Hz, 2160x1600@60Hz (stretched 16:10), 2160x1440@60Hz, 1920x1080@60Hz, 1280x1024@75Hz, 1024x768@75Hz, and more. The problem is that some of the less common resolutions are 30Hz only, even if clearly below 1440p. For example, the computer will only let me display 1366x768@30Hz. You can also use the intel control panel to set custom resolutions. First of all, this can be used to fix the aforementioned problem, since it totally allows you to set a custom resolution on e.g. 1366x768, but on a higher refresh rate. Second, 1920x2160 (Half width, but full height of 4K) can be displayed on a maximum of 51Hz - if you have two HDMI 1.4 ports, or use a USB adapter to get a second one, you can use the picture-by-picture mode on the monitor to get a psuedo-full 4k monitor running at 51Hz. Last of least, you can set a custom resolution to make the monitor display 1080p on 75Hz - good to know when gaming.

I really like this monitor; particularly the ease of changing orientation from landscape to portrait mode. What I find mystifying is the absence of any mention of its embedded speakers. I was all set to use a set of powered speakers I happened to have with my brand new build. Imagine my surprise when Windows 10 started up and sound came from the monitor screen itself. I thought at first my ears were being fooled so I unplugged the old speakers. Yep, still got sound. I suppose I shouldnt be shocked since my Sony Bravia TV has a similar implementation but there is no mention of this in the Amazon item description. The Windows device manager list the audio output as ASUS PB287Q (NVIDIA High Definition Audio). I have an ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 video card and connect with DisplayPort if that matters. Please note that the highest volume is fairly moderate but this is a work station so for most of my uses the sound quality is fine.

I purchased this monitor by mistake, but since it has arrived I decided to turn it on and play around to see its performance. First of all, it indeed has some minor bleeding in the left and right corners, but almost unnoticeable when I watch a movie. Now there is the only way to battle with milky hues that were mentioned in the previous review and make this monitor somewhat decent. You MUST run the monitor using NVIDIA settings (if you have NVidia graphics card of course). I connected the monitor through DVI cable to my GTX 1070. First it may complain that "there is no connection", but all you need to do is unplug the cable and plug it again. After this, turn the monitor on, and install ASUS PB287Q driver (there is no CD included, so you have to download it from internet and know how to install a driver through Device Manager manually, because its not an executable file). Then, the monitor will be recognized as ASUS, and not a Generic Monitor. Second, run the display through Splendid on sRGB or Standard mode with 0 or 25 VividPixels, and open Nvidia Control Panel>Display>Adjust Desktop color settings. If you have only one monitor, go to 2 option (Choose how color is set) and select "Use NVIDIA settings". Now for my taste I had to adjust the sliders like this: a) Brightness - 45%, b) Contrast - between 65 - 70%, c) Gamma - 1.00, d) Digital vibrance - leave it at 50% or slide to 55%. e) Hue - 0. Click Apply. Then go to change Resolution, select 3840x2160 if it is not selected just yet, refresh rate is by defaukt 60Hz. Go to 3 optios (Apply the following settings): Desktop color depth - make it Highest (32-bit), Output color format - RGB, Output color depth - make it 10bpc and lat Output dynamic range - make it Full instead of Limited. Now remember that your video player may play movies using its own settings too. If you want to change that, play a video file on one half of the screen and Go to NVIDIA Control Panel>Video>Adjust video color settings. Now watch a video frame with the native video player settings and with the NVIDIA settings. Again, here I had to adjust contrast by 60%. Also here go to Advanced and select Full Dynamic range as well. Try it and see if you like video image now. If you mess up, you always can reset settings in NVIDIA Control Panel "Restore defaults in the upper right window) and Reset changes under Monitors menu next to each mode. In Windows 7, I also adjusted the size of text into 150% through Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display and then adjusted Clear Type text so the fonts are crisp and readable without a need of more than 25 VividPixels (which will make lots of noise on photos and is not advised by Toms Hardware and other respectable review channels). In addition, I went to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Personalization>Window Color and Appearance and selected "Advanced Appearance Settings". Here you can increase (A) Icon item font (!) size to 16 anbd (B) Menu item size to 27 and font (!) size to 14. You can change a font into Arial or other if you like, but i left it on default. Looks like the tweaking part is over. ASUS CAN display nice colors, but I am still unhappy that it takes so much to get into the crispy contrast that my old display had right out of the box - Dell SP2309W, which is 23 inch, has 2048x1152 resolution and stunning 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Another minor issue, which is albeit annoying is that I cannot push the icon next to very edge of the right side of the monitor. Do not know how to fix that. Youll see it in the first screenshot attached. Also you will see the a display screenshot of colorful wallpaper as it looks on my Dell (2nd screenshot) and on ASUS PB287Q monitors (in this case the image was resized to 2048x1152) using the very same NVidia settings. This monitor could handle Alice VR PC game, no problem (alice-vr.com). I still dont know if I am going to keep it, as I more like glossy screens and deeper blacks.

By far the best monitor I have ever purchased, so awesome I had to buy two of them. The screen has a matte finish so dont expect deep blacks or whites.. runs great at 4k. Make sure to change the the display port mode from 1.1 to 1.2 in the menu... 1.1 does not support 4k at 60hz.

I wanted to pick up a decent, inexpensive 4k screen for my sons computer. Hes been fiddling with mods and textures on some games with a mid range video card (r9 270x) and a planar 1080p monitor. Its his art. But the video card and 1080p were holding him back...not enough vram, not enough pixels. I picked up an overclocked 970 which is a wonderful card. We havent tried it out on the very latest super high res games but hes running the batman series (including arkham knight), skyrim, etc. Arkham Knight chokes a little at the higher resolutions with everything turned on but hes still getting ~35-50fps most of the time. But AK is glitchy and slow on the PC, hopefully theyll fix that this fall. After looking at 3 dozen monitors I picked this one. There are a few monitors that routinely garner editors choice awards and best inexpensive 4k screen, and this is either picked as the best or another screen that uses the same panel as this wins. Im not one of those guys that buys $5000 tvs and $2000 computer monitors, I just want it to look good, not have stuck pixels, and not be fussy or break down. Well, it looks great out of the box. I havent calibrated it yet and I might not bother. It has a huge window right behind it and were not seeing any issues with a washed out or ugly display when its backlit by the sunlight. The stand is extremely flexible, allowing tilt, raise and lower without screws or a lot of work, just pushing it around. One gotcha is that the screen wont do 4k@60hz unless you use displayport and change a setting in the monitor to use DP 1.2. The default settings with the included displayport cable came up at 30hz until I made the change. Google it, there are some videos and text instructions on how to get into the monitor menus and flip it from DP 1.1 to 1.2. Anyhow, I was a little pensive about some of these cheap 4k displays and Im sure the ones that roll out next year with IPS panels and better pulldown and all that other video nerd stuff will be better. But we like it, the price was right, and unless it dies on me in <2 years I dont feel disappointed at all. I had looked at this and the samsung (which doesnt have as good of a stand), along with some super cheap no-names and ended up with this one for quality (some cheapos had reports of dirt between the screen and coating) and price...it was about $25 cheaper than the samsung when I bought it and both use the same panel.
