I just have to say that this is one of the best monitors I owned so far. I was a bit worried if it will be crisp and sharp enough comparing to the Dell Ultrasharp I owned for quite a long while, but this upgrade to 4K was one of my best purchases. I did the color calibration with my Spyder4 and what was my surprise that it almost matched the monitors original calibration. The ASUS continue to impress me with the quality of their tech and the attention they continue to pay to the consumers overall satisfaction. I didnt discover any dead pixels. Ive noticed some backlight bleeding, but it doesnt bother me much, since I usually have some light on anyway. This monitor was a great upgrade to my DELL and is of a very high quality. I gave the sound 3 stars, but who uses monitor sound nowadays anyway... I rated this monitor for its picture quality, responsiveness and overall impression.

Im not going to write out a ton on info on this monitor, aif you want a really long review for check out Toms hardwares 10 page review on this, its filled with tons of tests and comparisons and everything else you could want. I do want to say that if your looking for a 4k monitor that is affordable and has a nice image/features this is the best one to get. Its leagues better than the cheap china seike ones that have been out for a year now and a lot better than the compatible monitors from Samsung, Dell, Phillips, and others for a similar price. The image is absolutely fantastic its shocking when you see it first time. This monitor is perfect for averything other than PROFESSIONAL color grading, which you would want a $3000 model for. If you do editing but not a pro colorist this one should be fine for you, along with anything else you would want a 4k dislay for including gaming. The monitor runs at 60hz with displayport 1.2 so make sure tp use thay. The colors/contrast is great along with the viewing angles are great too! If you want some more talk about this along with an unboxing and review and an issue I had that is specific to the 2013 Mac pro with top graphics card (d700) check out my Utube video. Just copy paste and search the following : ASUS 4K PB287Q 28-Inch Issues - Unboxing - Overview - Review Max Yuryev If your in the market for 4k this is the one for you!

Im about to hit the 30 day mark of using this monitor and have no complaints about it once you get it set up. This is my main monitor running off a GTX 1080fe in a dual monitor setup. If I had to complain about anything it would be the deeply recessed power/interface cable ports but you only need to do that once. The hard buttons are reasonably well placed behind the bezel and although not the best placement they are better placed than most modern day monitors. I really wish those buttons were in front of the bezel but again once you tweak things to your liking you dont need to mess with it again. The support base is really good supporting landscape, portrait, and multiple tilt/height/swivel modes. It feels very sturdy and better than some replacement stands Ive bought in the past that cost more than this monitor by itself. Ive thrown the most intensive games I have at it and it has yet to disappoint.

I do love it, but setting things up for 60Hz refresh requires a bit of help. I ordered this and the Nvidia GTX 980. As of writing this (Nov 22nd 2014) there is a major issue hitting a lot of people where the system will not cold boot if using a single monitor and the DisplayPort cable. Hangs after loading BIOS. This is NOT the monitor or supplied cable, its the actual graphics driver. I have a dual monitor setup and I discovered that providing I use a DVI-I cable to the second monitor the bootup will take place on Monitor 2 and as soon as the Password page occurs it will swap over (auto) to the Main ASUS monitor. The monitor itself is crystal clear, excellent color reproduction and a near perfect viewing area. I do use the ColorMunky to ensure that color reproduction on the screen and printer match, but the monitor comes with a "lot" of choices for setting up you color preferences. Warning. First time in from a lower resolution monitor the icons that litter your screen will be really small, you can adjust the size easily. BUT the monitor come factory set using DisplayPort 1.1 (32 Hz only) and you must change this to 1.2 for 60Hz. You do that by opening the the on-screen menu >> System Setup >> DisplayPort Stream >> (select) 1.2. Using Nvidia (or whatever graphics card you are using) select under the PC header 3840X2160 (native) and change Refresh Rate to 60 Hz. Now your done. Enjoy stunningly crisp graphics.

PROS: The monitor appears to be very well built and the stand permits you to raise and lower the monitor easily, angeling it left or right and even tilting it 90%. CONS: But the stand is lacking the ability to wall mount. The image rectangle is quite a bit more pronounced from a 1080p monitor (or lower) and the color does have a slight tinge to it depending on how and where you are looking at it. The audio control is 6 buttons deep in the menu that is missing many of the nice to have features that are fairly common today. The menu can be a pain in the ass to operate. Furthermore, it is missing an optical digital port. There isnt an easy way to daisy chain these monitor together. ASUS needs to partner with BOSE to bring this monitor to the market place because I am NOT impressed with the audio that I am getting from my displays onboard audio.

Image quality is fantastic. No dead pixels or ghosting or any other type of problem other buyers may have reported. Replaces my ASUS 1080p monitors which have been (and still are) very reliable. Keep in mind that you will need a very good graphics card to drive a single 4k monitor. If your setup is dual 4K monitors, youll need even more graphic card power. All else equal, 4K requires at least 4 times the graphics performance. My [now upgraded] card supported the 4K resolution, but it struggled to keep up with even basic windows activities. I use the Display Port inputs to get max speed and the 10 bit color. CPU speed is of course another performance factor.

Received this monitor from Amazon Warehouse Deals (Prime delivery included) as in "very good" condition with mostly notes about packing materials and boxing being damaged. As far as I could tell, that was it--the actual monitor and parts were all as new--no cosmetic damage anywhere even on the screen (which did not have the usual removable protective film present). Speaks highly of Amazons internal processes dictating customer satisfaction. Initial set-up was simple and did not require any instructions. The rear panel connections are oddly positioned under a plastic piece that should come off but apparently does not--requiring you to navigate your cords with a flashlight, sight, and touch (most conveniently this odd piece of plastic should flip up or simply not be there in the first place). Once connected, the actual hold is sufficient--cords are going to stay in place. Connecting the monitor via Display Port 1.2 (HDMI and DP cords both provided) to a single Nvidia GTX970 graphics card was simple. The power cord was shorter than my prior Asus monitor and as such would not reach my UPC power back-up on the floor. Just another foot would have done it--however since this cord is standard--just using my old cord works fine. Turning it on and adjusting the resolution was simple via personalization and/or Windows 8.1 control panel. There was no need to look at the Nvidia control panel but for a verification that the proper connections had been made and that it was truly running at 60 Hz (which it was, plug and play except for screen resolution). Then there was the matter of making icons bigger and getting the text leveled out for old eyes. Control panel made quick work of the icons (had to set at 125% for me), and the Windows true text setting needed some adjustment--even then it took some time to get used to the way text is displayed. It is different from my 1080 display. Not liking the initial default screen settings I moved to "game" mode (with apparent increases in saturation and contrast). Prior to testing a game, I made sure via the Nvidia control panel my drivers were up to date and games optimized. Nothing had changed for the game I was going to test -Borderlands 2--everything was still maxed out in 4K resolution. Opening the game and changing the resolution to 4K showed gorgeous detail as expected. Now Borderlands may not be the most graphic intensive game, but on previously used Nvidia GTX660, I did not like the performance with everything maxed out (some slow downs at times)--but with the newer Nvidia GTX970 I have run everything full tilt. There were no perceivable changes in subjective frame rate playing Borderlands 2 maxed out at 4K resolution. Stunning details and super clear. Nice adjustments on screen height and rotation are available... positive connections horizontal to vertical without being too hard (or too easy) to move about. Up and down positioning was also straight forward. For the price (a tad over $500), via a Warehouse Deal, this monitor seems to me a great addition to my current set-up. It is also encouraging me to jump for another GTX970 card just to see if any dramatic differences occur with SLI on any other games I may try. Four stars total: one star off of five for the shorter power cord and the odd piece of plastic requiring you to feel your way to connections. Actual operation deserves a 5, so maybe 4.4 rounded down? I do love Asus, and this will be my third Asus monitor over the past decade--this pushes the really old (now third wheel) Dell of my desk to eBay!

I have this on a vesa mount running on my Blade Pro 2017. I needed to get a displayport to thunderbolt 3 connector to run it at 60Hz at 4k. This display feels extremely durable. The matte finish on the bezels is something I really appreciate. I use this display to Tex my physics homework, and everything is super crisp even up close. No dead pixels, no edge bleed - it is basically perfect. As it is not IPS, there is no "IPS glow" (which is good) but the color does shift / become sort of greyed as you shift your viewing angle. Not a problem, because it can be adjusted really easily to face you dead-on.

Great monitor for gaming. I got a great deal from Amazon Warehouse (have consistently had luck buying from them). The monitor came well packaged, but with a generic displayport cable that didnt work to get 4K@60hz. I suggest checking out displayport.org as there is a lot of great info there and recommended cables to use. Even with having to buy a new cable i saved about $100 which is amazing for a 4k monitor. Was hard to justify a $350 step up to the Asus ROG monitor, as much as that one is interesting and has a lot of cool features. Once the price drops on those, may be interesting to compare. Back to the monitor - this will will be used 90% for gaming. I have it paired up with a pair of 980s in SLI. Everything is crisp and clear. Colors seem to be very adjustable, but for me i just put it in game mode and left it there. There is a setting that makes the blacks very washed out and gray, so avoid that. I scaled windows up to 200% and that seems to have addressed the need for me to swap back and forth between lower resolutions.

I spent some time making tweaks to try and get some semi-accurate colors on this monitor. I was able to get the gamma dialed in, but the colors were way off. I was unable to get it any where near accurate colors. I have the X-rite i1 Display Pro to measure color accuracy and this monitor was terrible. I tried for quite a while to get it accurate, but in the end I was not able to get it remotely close to accurate. I dont know if I received a defective unit, but I sent it back and got a BenQ which is nearly perfect out of the box.
