ViewSonic VX2882-4KP 28 inch 4K UHD 150hz IPS FreeSync Gaming Monitor $599 + Delivery @ Scorptec

160

A good price for a 4k high-refresh IPS panel.
But it is not a raw 8 bit panel(6 bit + FRC)

    I have a stupid question.

    if I wanted to run a game in 1440p on this, would there be any downside in regard to performance of the monitor itself when compared to a 27inch 1440p monitor?

      no

      Yes it would be the slightest bit blury as that's not its native resolution.
      If you were to ruin it in 1080 it should be fine though as that is a 1/4 of the 4k resolution. So it would just be 4 pixels instead of 1

          I have a 4k dell, and it's not "slight". It's unusably blurry. I get a headache and sore eyes after about an hour at 1440p. FHD kinda works, but it's still very not good.

          If you don't need 4k,don't get it. 1440p at 27" does still look "quite good", so I'd probably go with that if you're unsure.

      Out of curiosity what GPU do you have? If you're running a more modern GPU from either Nvidia or AMD then I'd look into enabling DLSS or FSR and see if that can't help bridge the performance gap.

      Running at 1440p can be tricky because if your monitor's scaler isn't a quality scaler it might look a bit crappy tbh, better to run at 1080 and then crank up the eye candy.

        • Yeah, I think you couldn't go wrong with DLSS 2.0 support, best of luck :)

      As previously commented, there would likely be performance loss in running at 1440p. IMO 4k is really asking for 32"+
      27" 1440p is a sweet spot for both comfort and performance. Any mid tier + GPU will run pretty much everything at 1440p on ultra at 60+ fps.

      • agree that 27 1440 is the sweet spot. the only sucky part is that microsoft text rendering is trash so windows 10/11 would probably still benefit with the 4k nudge. mac looks great though

    • It would be blurry because 1440p doesn't fit into 4k nicely. 1080p does with integer scaling (4x). imo not worth doing it, just do 4k with min settings or something imho

    • Yes, it would be pretty unusable since the pixels aren't at 2:1 ratio, and it would look terrible next to an actual 27" 1440p. You could however run 1440p no scaling (black bars), which would end up being around 24" 1440p usable space, which isn't ideal, using only 2/3 of the panel. Or, you could run 1080p 28", but that would look abysmal as well due to the low PPI for 28 inch. For $600, I'd step it up a tiny bit and grab the aw2721d on sale around $700, which is pretty much a perfect 27" 1440p, assuming you don't need sRGB emulation.

      • yuck, nah

        • yep, 4k panel is for running at 4k lol, and in a lot of modern titles even the 3090 won't cut it at 4k150 high.

      • How muhc worse yopu think games will look?
        I have a 5700XT and Plany division 2 and max on a QHD monitor, so if I was to upgrade to a 4K monitor (i may upgrade video card in the next year or 2) so just wondering if running at 1440 on the 4K monitor would be roughly X % worse.?

  • Hi all, I have recently pre-order Xbox x series and wanted to play on a small desktop setup. Would this monitor be good for x box? I was recommended Gigabyte M28U. Which one will be better? thank you.

      I use this screen with a XSX - its great.

      • thank you for the reply. how is the speaker?

        • +1

          No idea, I use my Astro A50's with it via the XSX. I've got the monitor speakers turned off.
