I previously had a 27inch 4k screen (along with another 1440p 27inch screen. My main use is for gaming, mainly strategy type games, board games, card games but also flight sims and driving games, though I mainly use a 50inch tv for these (all on pc).
For some reason it took a nearly 2 months to be delivered (probably due to Covid).
Setting up the cables was straight forward though I did have some problems getting the sound to work (I mainly use a 5.1 surround system, but this is geared up for playing on the tv which is away to the side of my desk so I only get sound coming to my right ear). Eventually got it working, partly problems possibly from the pc end but had to turn off the monitor and disconnect to get it finally working. Sound output via the Jack was disappointing, very weak, this has been noted on the forums, I’m not too bothered, the in built sound is sufficient for my needs.
You do need a big desk ( I still have a 27inch monitor to the side). Plenty of adjustment is available on the stand.
Now my eyes are getting a bit old(62 years) so all I can say about the picture is that it looks great. I know people complain about ‘bleeding’ and is it black enough etc, but for me all I’m bothered about is how it looks while I am using it. The extra width is fantastic for some games such as filed of glory 2, no more panning the camera from side to side, the whole battlefield is on the screen, brilliant! FPS games (which I am now useless at) also gain from the extra width. G-Sync works very well, no tearing seen yet! My PC is about 5 years old with an i5 4670k (slightly overclocked) and a GTX 980ti and I have had no problems ‘powering’ the monitor.
Surfing the internet is fine, though the writing is on the small side for me, but you can have two or three windows open at a time! (I use the other monitor sometimes as well).
So I am very happy with my purchase (it actually went up in price before I received it, so another plus!) and can certainly recommend it for people interested in getting the most out of their pc and have some spare cash!
