A well priced 4K monitor, offering very well defined images at 60fps. For less then £200 you get alot for your money
Unfortunately the build design is very bad. You can't adjust the angle of the monitor.

Tempted with this but its pretty much even on people recommending or saying its rubbish.
Found this;
Pros:
Very good picture quality Good viewing angles (Better than I had expected) Built in sound Stand takes less than a minute to assemble and is really simple Fantastic value for money.
Cons:
Basic looking thing, no bells and whistles Cheap feeling plastic stand, but realistic for the price paid In-built speakers well below par obviously

Don't listen to him. 28 is okish for 4k. 32 is preferable.

Did u ever try 28" on 4k dnt misguide him icon and text will be r too small on 28"i tried 28" then 40 and then 48" but ended up with 2k monitor. Yes game and movies wil luk gud but he isn't going to use it for games as he said he want video editing too.

Are you using an on-screen keyboard?
I use a 4K 28" monitor at work, scaling set to 125%, it's great to use and the text is fine (except in an unscaled VM, scaling is very important). That said I prefer things on the sharper side, 110dpi beats 96 imo.

I'm scaling and 200%

So it's functionally a 28" 1080p monitor, but sharper? Eh. I don't like that, 28" is too big for a 1080p monitor, something like 22 or 23" is ideal for that imo.

I scale 200% on my 4k monitor. I wouldn't scale any more than 100% on a 1080p monitor.

I think you've missed the point. Say you open a window on a 4K 28" monitor and the window is 1" by 1". Now say you set scaling to 200% on that monitor, the window becomes 2" by 2".
Now say you open that window on a 1080p 28" monitor, it'll be 2" by 2".
Your 4K monitor at 200% scaling is functionally the same as a 1080p monitor, you can't physically fit very much stuff on there. I don't like that, I like large amounts of content on screen at once. It's super helpful when programming as your monitors effectively replace your short-term memory so you can only modify/process what's on screen at the time.

Do me a favour, Google "What is screen scaling?" for me.

Technically for the best optimization, 24 for 1080, 27 for 1440 and 32 for 4k but yeah, doesn't make much difference

28" is perfectly fine for 4k on a monitor...
AsadJani to SrsJoe
15 Sep 17#19
Yes it's fine if u play games or watch movies what abut other usege like internet browsing, video editing, etc. I tried from 4k 28" to 48" trust me icon and text r too small on native res

People like you make me sigh. You can just turn up the scaling takes seconds, works great. If you haven't tried it or know how to use it don't advise others.

:neutral_face: U wot m8? 28" is great... in fact perfect 4K monitor size. I have one, Acer Predator, its amazing, one of best purchases I ever made; and it wasnt even on sale!

Every time I see this listed, I post my experience.
"I left a review of this monitor last time it was posted, you definitely get what you pay for. The build quality is sub par, very plasticy and flimsy, like even part of the plastic on the mount was shattered from shipping. The speakers are laughable not worth using at all, and even when disabled they let out an audible hiss. The panel is not so bad since most 4k monitors at 28" use the same one, but differences in back-light used can effect the image and this one is pretty poor, the colours look very washed out by default and requires some serious tuning to look acceptable, which you'd have to do in your graphics card settings as the settings on the monitor are lacking. My panel also had a group of dead pixels. I returned it immediately and bought an IPS 4k monitor from LG and am very happy with it well worth the extra I paid."
Been using an AOC 4K monitor for about 18 months now. Once you go 4K, there's no way back especially for productivity. The ability to run four full HD windows on one glass pane shouldn't be underestimated.
Hamer.

If you just care about quality of the image for gaming etc and can put up with the cons of everything else it's ideal.
For me I just want the cheapest 4k monitor I can find. The poor sound output doesn't bother me as I use headphones anyway
