Yesterday we reported that Asus managed to nab 40 percent of the gaming monitor market in 2015 and now this week, Asus has shown off some of its 2016 offerings in the form of the MG-series 4K displays.
The first is the 28-inch MG28UQ with super-fast 1ms response time to eliminate ghosting and motion blur, and the second is the 24-inch MG24UQ with an IPS panel for wide viewing angles and outstanding color accuracy.

Both monitors feature adaptive-sync technology which is great for gaming as it allows the graphics card to help control the refresh rate for a smoother experience while also eliminating screen tear.
These monitors will also be amongst the first to feature HDMI 2.0 support, along with connections for HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 and some USB 3.0 ports. If you were planning on making the jump to gaming at 4K, then these could end up being two great options for the year.
KitGuru Says: I've been gaming at 4K for a while and it is quite the experience though I do get why many are still holding off while graphics cards improve. Are any of you planning on jumping to 4K this year?
no dp 1.3 nothing to see here
As much as I want to jump to 4K, it just hits the FPS way to hard and the GPUs we have now just ain’t worth (I think) the cost for playing 4K. We also have ULTRA-WIDE screens making big jumps and VR i around the corner.
I went 1440p last year and it was not cheap. So I will wait a few years before I make any jumps to 4K
28′ screen is just too small for 4K.
32′ is the minimum you should really be looking at.
Been telling people this since the beginning. If you have a 4k display the only way it’ll be best used is on a 32″ by the way you put feet. ‘ = feet ” = inches. Since on anything less than 32″ you have to be literally hand held distance away to get the optimal viewing where you don’t see individual pixels. With a 32″ you be can right at 16 inches from the screen before getting loss of quality as in pixels will merge because you can’t physically depict one pixel next to another.
For me, price is the problem, not GPU. That, and I don’t really need a 32″ monitor (or even bigger). Currently at 24″ and that’s plenty. No reason to go 4k.
Been gaming on a 40 inch 4K monitor since Aug of last year and never looked back since. 1 GTX 980 ti handles most games very playable at 45 fps. 28-32 inches is just too small to look at for me anyway.
Missing out then. 40 inch 4k monitor -$550. 1 980 Ti $600. problem solved. It’s not impossible to do just saying.
1440p and a GTX980 is fine for me. But when 4k monitors comes down in price and without IPS glow problems and 100hz, I might be game.
