Smaller 4K HDR monitor/TV for ps4pro?

As of now all of the 4K HDR displays are all giant TV screens, at least that I'm aware of. However, are there any smaller screens that has those features that are smaller in size (like <40 inch) that the ps4 pro can take full advantage of? Right now my computer monitor doubles as my PS4 display, so it would be nice to get something that could do HDR and 4k if I so desired while doubling nicely as an upgraded computer screen. The usual low latency stuff would apply. Don't really need audio on it as I just use the headphone jack on the controller. Thanks!

I'm using the PA328Q from Asus and it looks great.

No HDR though, but there isn't any monitor out yet that supports HDR.

Can't play on TV, notice the input lag to much (especially if HDR is on, adds a ton of lag).

Wow, that monitor looks nice. I have Asus MG279Q and it doesn't output over 1080p when using HDMI. Should I get the PA328Q, do you recommend?

Not sure if I would recommend it (because it's quite expensive and it doesn't have HDR), but the monitor is very impressive. Don't notice any input lag and it comes pre-calibrated (I did calibrate it myself afterwards and I have to say, it's very good out of the box).

I am very happy with it though :)

I would like to know as well

Only non HDR 4K displays for now

I haven't seen a HDR tv under 40 inches. I presume it's because it's still a premium option so the naturally will only tag it onto the larger and higher end models. Give it a year or two and you'll see it in more places. It was the same thing with 4K (only on the 60+ tvs) two years ago.

I'm using the Sony 800D for the PC and Pro, it's 43", a bit bigger than I wanted, but I became accustomed to it pretty quickly (going from a sammy 32" monitor). Picture is great, all the features are there and I've had no issues with lag. The only other sets I know of with a smaller screen would be the Samsung 6300 and 7000 at 40", I imagine we'll start seeing HDR in monitors fairly soon.

I'm curious of this myself and done some searching on the topic.

I hade hoped a screen like the Samsung U28E590D 28" 4K with HDMI 2.0, sRGB 100% and light output 370 cd/m² would work but can't find any confirmation of it.

There sadly seems to be no monitor which provides HDR since it requires zonal control of the backlight panel in a different way than a monitor utilizes which also adds more bulk. The smallest screen with HDR seems to be a 40" TV.

From what I can tell, there are no Monitors that have HDR. I have been looking for a good gaming monitor for my office and there are plenty of HDMI 2.0 4K monitors that will give great results, but none of them have HDR.

I am still researching as to what monitor to pick up, but its looking at about $400+ for a good decent monitor with good MS timing.

I would also like to point out. Dont get tricked by the monitors saying 3480x2160 60Hz. Double check to see what port that accepts it. A lot of them only accept the 60Hz in the Display Port and not the HDMI. Many of them that say it only accept 30Hz through the HDMI. So it gets pretty tricky to finding a good monitor for the PS4 Pro to run games at 4K with 60Hz

I bought the Samsung U28E590D for $350

  • 28" screen
  • 4K@60 Hz (HDMI 2.0)
  • 1 m/s input lag
  • 60Hz refresh rate

Guess we'll see the first HDR 4K monitors somewhere mid/late-2017 but I'll just sell this one by then and replace it with a HDR one.

M0drayne•

I actually just posted that exact one about a hour ago. hahah!

Yeah, I was looking at it. Are you pretty happy with it? I have seen that it has some issues with ghosting as the m/s timing they are advertising is the timing you get with the AMD perk. The reviews that took measurements have it at pretty decent timing though. You have any of those experiences?

Thank you in advance for your opinion on the monitor. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on it too.

2
randomiraqi•

Haha oops, I replied twice. Yes very happy with it, games and movies look awesome on it :)

e: I have not encountered any issues and I'm pretty sure the stated specs are without any additional software support - I've played a lot of PS4 games on it already and no issues whatsoever.

M0drayne•

Awesome, thanks for answering!

It's a TN panel. If you want more accurate colors and better viewing angles, get the LG IPS monitor

2
M0drayne•

Have a model number? The Lg's I've been looking at don't have HDMI 2.0 and only provide 3480x2160 at 30Hz through HDMI 1.4. They offer it in the DisplayPort but that's not what we need.

Can you confirm that the Samsung u28e590d can support ps4 pro at 2160p 60hz

1
randomiraqi•

It does, I'm using it as we speak.

rav20•

Thanks, helps me with my decision.

What's your opinion of how it looks with the ps4 pro?

I'm looking to buy the same monitor. How do you handle audio? I don't always play with a headset.

So I was digging around the web here at work and found this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1CZ3VU5208

Its the Samsung U28E590D. It does allow, in the HDMI 2 Port, to play 3480x2160 at 60Hz, which is what I have been looking for and seems would fit you well. It does not have HDR as its just not in the Monitor market at the moment.

So if you want a Monitor to play on, this looks like a really good deal and best bet. However, if you want HDR, you are best at waiting a little longer for monitors to come out that support it. If not, then you are probably just gonna have to settle for a larger TV with HDMI 2.0 or higher and HDR.

Edit* Looks like its a good monitor if you are casualy gaming but it does suffer from a little high response time compared to some others. This is actually very difficult to find a good monitor with a HDMI 2.0 port that gives 3480x2160 at 60Hz. Everything on the computer Monitor side uses Display Ports instead of HDMI.

1
randomiraqi•

What do you mean high response time? It has an input lag of 1 m/s and a refresh rate of 60Hz on 4K.

2
M0drayne•

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-u28d590d-4k-ultra-hd-monitor,4033-7.html

If you check the absolute input lag from black to white (a better representation of response time), you can see where it has some issues. But seeing the 1080p monitor I am coming from, it wont be a issue at all it seems.

Yeah, the HDMI port 2 is the 60Hz 4K port to use. If you use HDMI port 1, its only 30Hz.

Definitely looking at pulling the trigger on this Monitor. Its only $350 at Newegg too.

1
randomiraqi•

Ah yeah, read that review as well but it's not noticeable in any of the games I've been playing.

2
IDDQD-•

FWIW, it's not noticeable because it's quite rare that pixels instantly go from black to white, especially in games. It's not really useful to compare the "absolute input lag" because it is rarely needed.

M0drayne•

Perfect! Thank you!

Due to hard-to-overcome spacial limitations I’m also limited to around 42 / 43”. Decent 4K displays have only just started coming out at that size. Give the market a few months to settle; when 4K HDR is ubiquitous, it’ll be easer to find a display that meets all your criteria.

1
thrash242•

At that size I hope you're sitting like 2-3 feet from it if you want to actually get any benefit from the 4K. Otherwise save your money and stick with HD.

1
wjv•

Actually, 4K makes a really noticeable difference even at smaller sizes. That said, I’m following my own advice and waiting a few months (at least).

thrash242•

Yes if you're sitting close enough. Look up how to find your optimal viewing distance based on display size and resolution.

1
M0drayne•

Well if they are looking for a computer monitor, my guess is they are gonna be sitting pretty close. Especially if they are looking around the 27" up to 32" area.
