Great, Affordable 4K Monitor

on July 7, 2015

Posted by: BigPaPaRu

Verified Purchase:Yes

I was using my friends monitor on a brand new computer build I had just done. My friend needed his monitor back and so I had to buy one. After spending $1500 on my build, I wanted to wait a bit before spending more. I started looking at monitors. I knew that I either wanted one big monitor or 2-3 smaller monitors.

After looking around a bit, I saw the UD590 on sale for $499. It was a couple hundred more then a normal 1080P monitor at this size and offered future proofing. Not really thinking, I grabbed a friend and went to my local Best Buy. I didn't even really look at it, I just bought it and walked out. Then I started thinking, WOW, you just spent $500 on a monitor. I really started thinking about returning it. Let me tell you, I'm so happy I didn't.

Once I got her up and running, I instantly fell in love. Everything is so vivid and crisp, so clear. I started watching 4K videos and my heart began to thump in excitement. Next came the video games. Even though I'm only running a single GTX 970, I still put everything in 4K and OMG. Older games come back to life, newer games have never looked better. My jaw was on the floor. I have heard of 4K/UltraHD but I never really thought it would be that much of a difference.

I'm very happy with this monitor and I'm even happier I didn't return it but there are some annoyances that may bother people.
1. The stand sucks and kinda flimsy. I don't mind how it looks but some people will surely be put off. The stand is kinda weak and feels like it will break if you try to move the monitor around to much.
2. No VESA mounts. Not a problem for me but people will not be happy about that.
3. Poor viewing angles. If your not looking square at the monitor, then your picture sucks. The off to the side you are the blacker it gets.
4. Menu buttons are behind the monitor. Makes it very difficult to change your preferences. You do get used to it rather quickly and I don't mind so much but you may hate it.

To me this monitor offers far more pros then cons. If your in the market for an affordable 4k monitor, then you have two choices (IMO) this and the Asus PB287Q. At the time, The Asus was $40 more and didn't warrant the extra money from me but if you want a VESA mount then that will be the one you need. Overall this is a helluva monitor that offers great performance for the money. The picture is fantastic and you will surely get many compliments when you show her off.

My Best Buy number: 3755063146

I would recommend this to a friend!
