Hi, some advice for below 4K UHD monitor purchase as currently in dilemma due to each of them do have some missing features....hahaha

1) Viewsonic VX3211-4K-MHD
2) Benq EW3270U 4K HDR
3) Samsung LU32J590UQEXXM
4) LG 27UL850-W
5) Dell Ultrasharp U2720Q
6) LG 27UL600-W

It seem like only Samsung come with both PIP and PBP while Viewsonic do have PIP only whereas all others model miss out this wish to have feature.

Anyone know why Samsung 4K UHD monitor missing the HDR capability which kind of common or basic feature for others brand? Is this miss out did impacted much on display quality especially gaming and video playback?

Eye Care sound like massive hard sell by Benq and Viewsonic but is this low bluelight or eyecare only marketing gimmick or really did served the purpose?

LG 27UL850-W and Dell Ultrasharp U2720Q do provide USB-C PD 60/90W charging for laptop or mobile devices and Dell never come with any freesync.

Most above list come with thin bezel except Benq or Viewsonic which kind of >1cm, prefer thin but not so bad for 1cm+ model.

My usage as usual laptop extended display for work, own 4K laptop connection for video watching and ensure good freesync for upcoming new console even HDMI 2.1 4k@ 120hz sound like never provide by all above list yet but at least freesync with 4K capability.

Appreciate if any members able to provide some true feedback or recommendation per own usage.

Thx

Actually gaming not my key usage just wanna ensure HDMI freesync capable for current and upcoming 4K console saja, if strong PC gaming then all above list might not a right choice since without 120hz or 144hz plus not dedicated for gaming purpose.

Thx

None, wait for new monitors with HDMI 2.1 or just get a HDMI 2.1 capable TV icon_idea.gif

If you want HDR, none of the monitors listed will handle HDR properly - you'll want to look at monitors like the ASUS PG32UQX for proper HDR implementation, but no point getting that one either as it costs more than a LG OLED TV icon_idea.gif

Also, avoid 4K at 27 inch due to scaling issues (text will look super small), so IMHO I'd recommend going for a 32 inch 4K panel instead icon_idea.gif

Agreed and draw back will be on high price and more toward office work instead of mix work and entertainment but it did served 90W USB-C charging which consider top in the range. Thx

MYS Dell just launch 2 new 4K monitor, price at RM1799 and RM1399 with most features I need.

1) Dell 32 Curved 4K UHD Monitor - S3221QS (VA)
2) Dell 27 4K UHD Monitor - S2721QS (IPS)

Both with PIP/PBP, 4K HDR, AMD Freesync, Height Adjustable, 99% sRGB, TUV certify comfort view low blue light, superb thin 3 sides bezel, built in 3W/5W speakers (good to have saja) etc.

S3211QS offer 90% DCI-P3, USB up and downstream with BC 1.2 charging, 5W Speakers with MaxxAudio etc.

Might not perfect for gamer and kind of low HDR brightness but it could be balance of what I need with reasonable price range.

Thx

You can try the Acer ET322QK. UHD & 4K with freesync available going at RM1,499. Quite good for personal or professional use. Our company got a few in for the graphic designers recently and they say its quite good!
