HP 27" ZR2740W only $275

[paulrbeers]

I have two of these that I got from woot about 6 months ago for $350 a piece, today they are only $275.

That's a great deal for a name brand 27" monitor w/ 1440P resolution. Yes they are refurbs, but mine were perfect and since they have displayport, all it takes is a cheap displayport to mini-displayport cable ($5-10).

Just sayin'

Now you can get a 28" 4K/UHD monitor from Dell and others for less than $500. If you have a 2013 or 2014 Macbook Pro or a new Mac Pro, one of the 4K monitors should be considered.

And who knows, maybe at the fall product announcement Apple will update the 27" iMac and Thunderbolt Display to 28" 4K/UHD screens. I know, hope springs eternal.

If you like 30hz displays then sure, go with a 28" 4K and you have a nMP or a 2013 MBP. For everyone else, this is a darn good value. Better than a Cheap Korean with only DVI ports.

No need for 30Hz at 4K if you have a 2013 or 2013 rMBP or nMP running 10.9.3 or higher. You can do 4K at 60 Hz. You may have to tell the monitor to do multiple streaming if it can't do 4K at 60Hz in a single stream. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6008

It seems as if the new Asus PB287Q can do 60Hz in a single stream when you tell it to do display port 1.2. Not bad for $649. Of course it is TN, not IPS.

Yeah, but you linked to the Dell which is a 30hz only panel. Further, now you are posting about a $650 panel which is 2.5x as expensive as the one I linked to above and again only for a handful of Macs at this point.

the new Asus PB287Q

Aw geez. Do the marketing guys even think these names through?

Not like there will be any confusion between the PB287Q and PB278Q monitors...

Just bought this earlier today. I have a rMBP, all I would need is a mini displayport to displayport cable for this right? I was looking at purchasing this:

Pros: Good build quality, got a nice base, good selection of ports.

Bad: Anti glare, reliability is so-so.

For the price though this is a great monitor. Hard to justify getting one with an 30" already though.
