Looking for a decent 4k monitor

[adz_w]

Hello, I'm looking for a good 4k monitor that I can use for gaming, watching films, editing, programming and work.

Here is the build it's going with (it's not fully decided yet)


CPU -Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler- NZXT Kraken X41 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
£74.99 £74.99 Novatech Buy
Motherboard- Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage -Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card
Case NZXT H440 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply SeaSonic Platinum 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 OEM (64-bit)
Case Fan Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition 63.5 CFM 120mm Fan x4
Mouse EVGA TORQ X10 Carbon Wired Laser Mouse
Speakers Logitech Z320 10W 2ch Speakers

So I'd prefer the monitor to be 24 inches preferably with G-sync maybe have USB ports and have multiple connection ports. Has to have good colour accuracy etc I don't need touch screen.
Edit; price wise maybe £300 to £500

If you guys have any recommendation ions on features and obviously the monitor itself then it will be apreciated.


Thanks again

That is currently the only 4K monitor with GSYNC. I am not sure how much that translates to in Pounds but it will probably be close to your top end budget, maybe a bit more.

Thank you it doesn't have to support g-sync it would be nice to have an I know it will be expensive just need a decent monitor that won't have many problems doing all the above things

How come there aent many 4k monitors that support g-symc?

GSYNC is new and so is 4K. A GSYNC 1440P monitor is pretty pricey and adding in 4K to the mix makes it even worse. Most people canot afford a 4K GSYNC monitor.

That one I linked is under your top end price of $500 pounds. If you want 4K and GSYNC it is not a bad monitor.

Yeah, ive done a lot of research on monitors and they are all quite prices i found a 24" dell 4K monitor for around £300 but it didnt support G-SYNC and the reviews were not brilliant. Ive read a couple of reviews on the monitor you sugested. it does look pritty good.

i do have one question will my GTX 980 ti be able to run 4K at a decent FPS? or would i have to go SLI?

im tempted to go for a 144hz monitor this is apparently a pritty good monitor Acer XB270HU bprz 144Hz 27.0" Monitor

the only thing that is putting me off 4K is the lack of support for it. does 4k support my needs e.g. gaming, prpgramming, general use, watching films, editing pictures? and ive read that there is a lot of scaling problems?

A single 980Ti will do 4K gaming well but not 60FPS well. To do 60FPS 4K gaming you need SLI GTX 980Ti GPUs.
