The new display will cost starting from only $799 (€576, £475) without taxes, but will deliver everything a gamer needs: UHD resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, audio in/audio out and so on.
The Asus PB2870Q supports 3840*2160 resolution with 60Hz refresh rate, it is among the first inexpensive 4K displays in the industry that offers both ultra-high-definition resolution as well as 60Hz refresh rate.

The display has 170°/160° viewing angles.

KitGuru Says: Asustek’s PB287Q is the first inexpensive 4K display designed for gamers, but it will certainly not be the last one. Other makers will follow Asus in the coming quarters and by the end of the year there probably be a number of gaming displays with ultra-high-definition resolution and 60Hz refresh rate on the market.
Wait, 60Hz? This is NOT what the gamer needs! 100Hz is the absolute minimum! 120Hz with lightboost is great. 60Hz simply doesn’t cut it for fast-paced games, I’m afraid.
