Only drawback is vesa mount on this is not compatible for many things

The vesa mount location is dumb. I made my own with some short screws and JB Weld. Otherwise fantastic productivity monitor

wouldn't 30hz be a pain to use? I will mainly use it to code and maybe watch movies sometimes but no gaming.

Thank you for posting this deal! Picked up two. I've had alerts for 28" or 29" monitors for more than six months and this is the first one of only a few that I was able to catch. I am replacing some old and broken CRTs for arcade machine conversions, and 28" and 29" is the sweet spot in size for many cabinets. However, the common monitor sizes jump from 27" to 32", so it is difficult to find a deal on anything in the 28" to 30" range.

Is it worth upgrading from a 27" WQHD monitor to a 4K one? Moving from FHD to 27" WQHD gave me a lot of screen estate to play with, not sure if 4K will be better since I may have to increase the display scaling of text/apps to see it.

Think you may definitely need to do scaling if you're happy with the size of everything on your screen now. For reference - I just went from 25in @1080p to 32 @qhd and I don't think Id want it smaller/higher res than that for office work etc. Ymmv of course.

I picked one of these up at the beginning of quarantine. It's been a champ for daily software dev and videos look amazing on it too.

Was worth $350. Would bite at this price if I needed another!

I can't decide between a 28" IPS 4k 60 hz monitor like this and a 27" IPS 2k 144hz monitor.

I currently have a 24" TN 144hz monitor and want a dual monitor setup. I play a lot of Overwatch, a true FPS and like the 144hz for this.

My graphics card is a gtx 1080 g-sync.

Any thoughts? Maybe I'll try this one and then return it if I don't like it.

I used metal cutters to cut off the tiny bit of excess on my vesa mount. Strongly recommend if people are willing to do that, because I could literally not find a 75x75 only mount on amazon

I would go with the 144hz 2k monitor for sure. Especially with your card it will look buttery smooth on it

I just got the LG monitor and saw this one come out. I believe the specs on the LG was better. Both monitors just lack in being able adjust the height.. but the quality so far has been good

having recently made this move, I'd say yes, for me it is a welcome upgrade.
I even kept text scanning at 100% which for my use had been fine, but even if you scale text bigger the added pixels has been a welcome upgrade.
