Best 60 Hz 4K Monitor: Asus ProArt PA328Q
One of the many displays we saw at Computex 2014 was a new monitor from Asus, the ProArt PA328Q. It's a 32" 4K screen with, of course, a 3840x2160 resolution that comes pre-calibrated from the factory. Asus uses a 10-bit panel that get its colors from a 14-bit LUT, so it is more than suited for high-end professional use.
What really set this monitor apart was its support for HDMI 2.0, which means you can support 60 Hz using the right display output. Beautiful isn't it? We thought so.

They cut images now. Soon these (*#&*$ sponsored links will hold 2/3 of pages?
It was bad when you had to click the TINY cross to see the whole picture in a normal article. Now, the TINY cross is on the active area for the frame advance of this picture article so you cannot get rid of the advert to see the relevant parts of the image which it blocks. This quite apart from the fact that in most instances the advert which purports to be 'related topics' is actually derived from tracking cookies related to websites that I have visited that are unrelated to the picture the advert covers.
An example from yesterday: since when does a 5-pin circular DIN panel mount socket that I viewed on uk-rsonline.com last week have anything to do with this month's best graphics card, eh?
Get rid of these horrible intrusions now. As a semi-professional tech enthusiast if I want a product I will search for it when I want it. I will not respond to a pathetic attempt to re-introduce me to a product I already purchased and have no further need to acquire. The only thing you achieve with this stupid advert format is to show yourselves (I refer here to the marketing division of BestOfMedia not the journalists) to be the worst kind of money-grabbing spiv salesmen.

Works for youtube ads too!
I'll ask my fellow forumites, what would you say to a person who asked for an opinion for a gaming build with a mid range GPU and even a QHD screen, let alone something approaching 4K. I personally would say, "dude save money on the screen, get a good 1080p IPS monitor, and spend the money on a better GPU". For shame Tom's, thanks to you a bunch of noobs are going to end up wasting their money on a very impractical device.
My practice so far was "click on the MAIN banner add after reading each article". But over the image ads + bottom pop up add on mobile version of the site, I'm not really sure this is the place to get hardware info anymore.
Also please fix your mobile website, it looks like russian ww2 propaganda leaflet compared to clean look of Anandtech (mobile).
Tomshardware is on my list of daily reads, has been for about a year and a half now. The ads are simply too much now, to the point of being a total turn-off. Seriously going elsewhere if it's not toned down some.
Tom's, do whatever it takes. Thank you!

I would have no problem with the same advert being BELOW the picture. This complaint is about an advert that actually breaks the functionality of the website.
To paraphrase: ' Tom's, do whatever it takes to fix the website'
Tom's, do whatever it takes. Thank you!
If Tom's drives away it's users with ads that actually interfere with the ability to read an article, then users will go away, and Tom's will not be able to pay for the site.
I believe that Tom's viewership is on the downslope, and Tom's is "harvesting" revenues by driving up ad space.

I can't be bother fighting with it & will go elsewhere.
I know who you are!
