Samsung launches 28-inch 4K monitor for just $700(extremetech.com) |
I already have a 27 inch IPS monitor with HD resolution, which was a nice upgrade to what I had before. The Seiki would give me 4K resolution with almost 4 times the display space. Am I missing something fundamental?
I never play video games, so the 30hz refresh rate wouldn't be a drawback for me, and I already have my 27" monitor set almost 3' away from my viewing position. It would be much easier for me to come up with $700 for a new monitor; $1400 to $2100 would be out of reach.
I would really like to see how well a tiling window manager would work with a screen that large.
30Hz is painful just for normal use. You can't move your mouse precisely any more because the screen doesn't update fast enough.
