4k 28" freesync monitor £199! Says HDMI 2.0 4k at 60hz but is a TN panel from unknown brand.
Previous reviews when 249 seem to say only did 4k at 30fps but this advert says otherwise. Maybe upgraded design? The company seems British importer but no idea what underlying panel is. Found it when googling for a qnix on ebay based in UK. Anyone got any experience of this monitor? I have a 46" 1080p Samsung tv but prefer my 23" AOC IPS monitor for gaming strategy games where you need to read text. So looking for a bigger screen and 4k and freesync makes this interesting!
Not sure if that is an actual brand or just own label stuff like ElectriQ.

hey thanks for that! it is much better marketed on japanese website! however no mention of freesync on japanese specs page (didn't read review yet as on phpne and hard to read) and tech sheet saud 2x4w speakers but this says none? so might be similar and same panel or might not be? worth investigating though! has anyone got a 28" 4k with tn panel? there was an lg ips 27" for around 280 recently.

What can you see that makes you think it's an LG panel?

Hi, have you had a chance to set your monitor up yet? How is it?
I plan to use mine mainly for work and the odd bit of gaming (I have a 1080)

I don't have a 28" 4k but do know any & all 28" TN 4k monitors are using the same panel - see the 28 - 31.5 tab here - http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/monitor_panel_parts.htm just 2 parts from Innolux exist. So the Acer RT280K that's done the rounds on here a few times now (here which BTW is back in stock at Ebuyer), this one you have found + all others apparently use the same panel, it's just then the extras each manufacturer may do with that panel. I'd probably go with the Acer over this one you've found as a more reputable brand name & only £25 more.
I did buy the 27" LG IPS, set it up yesterday and very happy with it, although to be honest the fact it needs scaling for the desktop not to be so small I still think 1440p is the sweet spot resolution at this size.

Is there is reason why;
- There is barely any 32" 4k TV's?
- That the 4k TV's are pretty cheap but monitors are crazy

The lack of 4K 32" TVs is either there being no market to justify making them, or that they're too expensive to manufacture?
As for monitors being dearer, it's down to the processor inside the monitor. Professional gamers, and those who identify as such want nothing to impact their performance and want to always be at their peak, so they buy monitors with the quickest refresh rates, smallest input lag and lowest grey to grey response times as possible, so what they see on the screen is as near to instantaneous as possible. They also don't want any ghosting, tearing, backlight bleed, IPS glow, and clouding or any other defects that can impact their visuals. This is also true for the professional market, their monitors cost so much because they want as near to 100% colour representation as possible from their monitor, in order to accurately edit and product media. Technologies such as FreeSync and G-Sync costs extra, too.
If all that was too much to read, maybe check out this "as fast as possible" video on YouTube that explains gaming monitors. They do a few monitor videos you may be interested in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC-KHOKM7ck

You sit 30-50cm from a monitor,
You sit 2-4m from a tv.
Closer you are the more you notice increased pixel density.

Will 4k monitor run 1080p res at 120hz or is that rarely the case

The refresh rate listed is a physical property if the display, this monitor will top out at 60Hz regardless of the resolution you're playing.

Depends on what you want to do on the display. Productivity, hell yes. Gaming? It's a pity you don't have an AMD card for the FreeSync. Ultimately depends on what kind of games you're into/play most. You might struggle to 'max out' the most recent AAA titles for sure. I've got an i5 CPU and a 1070 GPU with my 4K display, but I'm a relatively patient gamer who waits for games to be on sale and their performance patches complete. I'll also choose custom medium-high settings on intensive games to avoid any frame drops, for instance in Witcher 3/Mass Effect Andromeda I play mostly on medium (ultra textures) with SweetFX filters applied. Most of the games I sink huge amounts of time into though are maxed out e.g. Rocket League.
