Want 4K for your PC? ASUS has you covered

IGN: ASUS has revealed their new 32 UHD monitor, capable of pulling off a billion colors with its new IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) type display. Finally, we can finally see Crysis 3 like it should be.

[CaptainYesterday]

Thanks! Now will someone buy me one ;)

[The_Troll_Whisperer]

LOL no

[Hatsune-Miku]

i cant wait to buy a 4k teli and i cant wait to see the games sony will have in 4k resolution. ive read that sony doesnt have any big plans on making games for 4k resolution but i know they will. its a good thing the ps4 is capable of 1.84teraflops and not 1.2 teraflops because any next gen system with that power is a flop and reserved for cable boxes.

i remember just a few months ago getting a lot of disagrees and abuse for saying ps4 will support 4k and how 4k will be the new thing soon because prices will go down a lot. now i see 4k monitors on sale for 1500quid and sony 4k telis for 4000quids. a lot of haters were going on and on about how 4k telis are 25000pounds and itll never get to a mass market consumer friendly price until another 5 years lol. a lot of these haters knew their weak system of choice wouldnt support the resolution much so theyll rather hate. hopefully the haters will enjoy their cable boxes

anyway, i cant wait to own one of these 4k telis and play games and watch movies at this resolution.

[Mr Tretton]

Hatsune-Miku, keep dreaming. The PS4 is like an outdated laptop. It will never be 4k. High PCs today can't do 4k. BF4 on PS4 is 720p.

I'd argue that even the next gen after that won't be 4k ready for games, only movies. 4k is a pipe dream for games.

[aliengmr]

@Hatsune-Miku

So you were that crazy person.

Listen, I got nothing against Sony, I think it has the edge in the next gen consoles. I'm a PC guy myself.

But 4k is quite a ways off for games. Movies and TV, sure, but it takes quite the PC to pull off true 4k so very few are even going to be able to use it for a few years.

PS4 is not going to be able to do it. But that has nothing to do with the power of the PS4, but gaming itself just being there yet.

[Conzul]

For the most part, PS4 Games won't be 4K.
However, I DO expect several PSN titles will be. For instance, There could be a 4K Journey or similarly-styled games in 4K.

But FHD is enough - trust me, I'd rather have stronger AA and better Anisotropic filtering.

[nveenio]

Haha. You're funny.

Better?

[Razputin]

If you sincerely believe the PS4 will be capable of doing 4k on anything besides movie, you are a fool.

This is just a smoke screen of BS to make you happy.

All those Teraflops, and GBs, and numbers you speak is nothing but that numbers.

Let me tell you something how 1080P was available in the 90's but no one bought into it, only like 3 sports channels actually broadcasted it.

Early 2000's Flat Panel LCD monitors were available more to the public, not many got into it.

Mid 2000's is when HDTVs were being pushed out more, with the inclusion of Plasmas and LCDs and then later LED/OLEDs.

Late 2000's 3DTVs, with not many products offering 3D unless you bought a 3D Blu-Ray player.

Now OOOOOHHHH 4k RES. Another BS campaign to make idiots have wet dreams.

PCs aren't even ready for 4K res unless you have a serious workstation and do heavy rendering.

Seriously don't get too happy. Also I could careless about these so called "Next Gen" consoles, but they won't push anything above 720p to 1080p on some games. You just watch. And still not look as good as current gen PCs.

Hell my PC has hardware from 2009, and I run every game at max at 1080p RES.

[Crazyglues]

LoL... Wow wonder how much is this baby going to be?

I need two.. Dual screens here

[YoungPlex]

Yes indeed two please!

[PurpHerbison]

Enough for me to happily wait a couple years for the price to be reasonable.

[kneon]

If it really is "Professional Grade" then it would be cheaper to buy one of the Sony 55" 4K TVs.

[3-4-5]

We are 6-10 years away from this even being in enough houses to take advantage of.

There has to be enough of an install base, along with people actually developing to utilize 4k.

It's just not worth it at this moment in time.

[ChozenWoan]

And who needs more than 64mb of ram.... lol

[Retroman]

seen first 55in 4k tv commercial today beautiful colors.

[ATi_Elite]

already gaming at 1600p but YES I would like to Game at TRUE 4K resolution......

But NO I'm Not paying $1000+ for a 4K monitor.

Good thing that 4K monitors are here cause maybe then 1600p monitors will drop in price so I can get two more.

OR BETTER YET.....We can put a Man on the Moon but I can't get an AFFORDABLE NO BEZEL monitor. I rather have 3 NO Bezel Monitors instead of a 4K monitor.

[The_Troll_Whisperer]

With this, One display is better than 4(no pun is intended)

[iGAM3R-VIII]

if no pun intended then why is the 'One' capitalised....

*sigh* you are gonna start a scrap

[ltachiUchiha]

No thank u, too expensive for me.

[aquamala]

"There is no word on pricing"

[ltachiUchiha]

Does it sound cheap? You guys make it seem like it will be on sale lol. Its going to cost, trust me.

[Lisica]

You know the price?

[Pro Racer]

Engadget says it's $3,799 (32") - it's not cheap, but it is pretty affordable compared to other 4K displays. Not to mention the beast of a PC you'll need to run games at native res on this thing.

http://www.engadget.com/201...

[Gamesgbkiller]

I don't have a decent PC for this .... DAMN.

[LeRise]

No thanks, I'm perfectly fine with 1080p monitor.

4K is very good for TVs, because you can have 3D games with passive 3D and true 1920x1080 resolution. If you have 1080p passive 3D TV you see just a half of vertical resolution and that really matters.

[josephayal]

pc can't run 4k res

[Dasteru]

Titan has 4k output.

[TheUndertaker85]

Great. Now how many people have those?

How many other products can offer that?

How much is it?

Oooo... Interesting story.

[thebigman]

Output yes, but it can barely keep up decent framerate @1600p. What makes you think it could do 4k?

[Dasteru]

@thebigman:

Never said it could handle high frame rates at that res. Just that it has 4k output support.

It depends on the game anyway.

Crysis 3, no

Something like Borderlands or Skyrim it could handle at 30fps easy.

[Azurite]

Graphics cards in the 90's could output resolutions higher than full HD.

There were 2304x1440 monitors available in the 90's.

[liorishot]

7970=300-400 pounds can do 4k, 7990,GTX 680 4GB edition 350 pounds, GTX 770,780 and titan can all do 4k output so if you dont know what your talking about dont say anything

[The_Troll_Whisperer]

Question is: The framerate? The Quality? Anti-Aliasing? Post-Processing? A Titan CANNOT handle that on maximum with a framerate higher than 20 fps.

[Pro Racer]

If you're running 4K you won't need AA.

[ATi_Elite]

which is why you have ONE Bubble....You Know ZERO!

PC's can ALREADY output 4K resolution and 4K monitors have been around for years ESPECIALLY High Graphics Design 4K Monitors.

Remember PC's do more than just play Games.

[MidnytRain]

A 39-inch monitor? Why not just make it a television? That makes me really wonder what's the technical difference between the two...

[starchild]

There's really not not much technical difference. Televisions usually have decent built in sound, while monitors usually don't.

[Dasteru]

Faster response rate, usually 2ms vs about 6ms on a TV.

No cable tuner.

Less connections.

In most cases, no built-in speakers.

[MWH]

the future is 120hz.

[PrinceOfAnger]

crysis 3 4k res.. http://youtu.be/H52laKrZzNI

[liorishot]

that video is pointless unless it has an original viewing mode

[Dasteru]

That isn't 4k, it is multi monitor which has been possible for years.

4k is 3840x2160 on a single screen.

That video is 5040x1050 which is just 1680x1050 across 3 screens.

[creized1]

I THINK i will wait for another 4 years before moving to Ultra HD displays.
Not that I do not want one now, obviously I would love to have one, but the price is just out of my budget.
I mean, I rather spend my money somewhere else, you get me?

[NioRide]

Depends on the location, supposedly Japan is trying to skip 4K all together and hit 8K network programming by later 2014.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Not any time soon. 4k is expensive as fuck.

[kingduqc]

I disagree with you, price of 4k tv are going down so freaking fast it's crazy. You'll be paying for 4k tvs in about a year or two the price you'd pay for a 1080p one in 2011

[kingduqc]

Still don't get why people disagree with me, last year 4k tv where around 25k are now down to 5k and some cheap 4k is about 1.2-1.5k. In a year or two max they will be afordable.

[fullmetal297]

Nah... Stick my 1080p 144hz ASUS monitor. I rather have the ability to see all my frames rather than a higher resolution.

[Sarobi]

I'd be more than happy to buy a 4k tv... if it was in an affordable price range that is. With that said I'll keep an eye out for this.

[level 360]

Would be nice to see PC monitors mimic the very thin edge/some even edgeless television LED/LCD screens counterparts.

Especially essential to our monied gamers' who can afford to put 3 monitors side-by-side.

[Hassassin]

Refresh rates on 4k monitors are terrible.
(unless you could overclock your monitor, like the yamakasi, to increase Hz)

[TBONEJF]

Ha yeah right like anyone of us can even afford a 4k TV NOR 4K MONITOR
