But who cares about having a 1ms response time? It's so much lower then the FPS you'd playing at. How about having an IPS display with a 5ms response time so it's nice for everybody? I guess they're too focused on the race to the bottom.
Got a tip for us?

You're kidding right? That's not the demographic who would spend $700 on a monitor. But guess who would?
I know a few moderately serious gamers and when they do a build they are generally spending 3-5K.. they could easily drop that kind of money on a display.
Are these TN panels like Dell's 28" offering?
You'd think something like that would make it into the article...
----------
Please. It's not unique to Samsung.
And remember how everyone wanted a Samsung panel in their rMBP?
Samsung makes some great displays.

guys, how much more is IPS compared to TN? ie. what price range are we looking at if the same monitor was IPS?
Is IPS really that much more expensive then TN that the lower price race won't allow for a monitor like this to be IPS?
I was amazed by the screen and wanted to buy it but then the whole TN put me off.
And if Apple will release one, what price range are we looking at? Is it going to be outrageously expensive as the professional Sharp one they are offering now or can we get a a great 4K display from Apple that is IPS and is more on prosumer level (ie. around $1500)?
Can someone with more knowledge about these enlighten me, please?

Maybe there is a reason they all have chosen TN. The Asus rendition is receiving mostly 4.5 stars over on Amazon.
Waiting to see what is coming from Apple in the form of an 4K Cinema Display with built-in Apple TV.
I hope, nay pray, that the coming OLED big screens (> 40 inchers) can do 4K 60 Hz for gaming. That would make for a religious experience.
But for now, I am content with my mighty HP 2475w and ATI 5870 which won't cut the mustard for 4K. 4K for me will have to wait.

If I got one I would have to get it mounted. Can't stand that stand!
No VESA mount sadly.
hey all I was just posting a quick question because even though I have professional background in video and graphics I haven't used the skills in several years and I'm behind in certain technologies.
What is a TN Panel ? I know my new late 2013 13" macbook pro with retina is an IPS panel It also has HDMI and can drive a 4k Display if i were to chose to get one. Is a TN panel the same as a TFT display? i remember TFT displays looking washed out and poor viewing angles. the panel in this retina macbook is absolutely beautiful and a joy to look at. Also I have one HDTV that i believe is still TFT it's also CCFL backlight. My main TV is a 42" panasonic plasma TV that's a 1080p display at 600 hrtz refresh rate. I was curious how that would work for a large display for graphics and video ? considering i can use HDMI to forward the mac audio to the TV i can also use the speakers.
Since this thread is about the samsung monitor, i did want to add i tried samsung displays in mid 2007 - 08 i think it was and both failed in less then a year, from that experience I really don't trust their products and at the time their customer service wasn't much better either as they wanted me to pay to send in the displays even though it was under warranty.

Apple Retina 27" 4K IPS @60hz monitor can't come soon enough.
TFT is LCD. TN and IPS are TFT LCD panel types. The benefits of an IPS panel is greater viewing angles and better color accuracy. You can read more about it here. Personally, I can't stand TN panels and buy IPS only.

Sure there's a reason: cost.
Of course people have different expectations depending the price they pay.
I doubt this would have 4.5 stars if it was, say, $2000, because people would expect it to perform like a $2000 display.
The reverse is also true: this Sharp 4K IPS monitor probably wouldn't have 1.5 stars if it was $700.

Why do you need Thunderbolt, if you have DP?
----------
Those 4K@60 Hz displays make no sense, if standard GPUs have a problem with them. I think that shows the true state of the 4K displays in the industry.
What? Two of today's GTX 780 (for example) in SLI mode will easily do at least 50 fps in 4k in a variety of games. Not in a Mac though, obviously.
You don't need a Titan Z.
But then this display is not targeted at Mac users, by and large.

I think this is good step forward. At least for me it is better than $2,500 Dell ultrasharps at 4k IPS.
Can't imagine how much an Apple one will cost with thunderbolt. Probably $3,000 each.
Which they could get much better deal by getting a Dell U2713HM for the same price. 2560x1440 is not 4K, but color reproduction of IPS panel outweigh anything else.
TN LCDs should be dead already along with CRT. Please kill it.
A GTX 780 SLI is not far away from a Titan Z in terms of performance, and still $1000+ worth of GPU alone (+motherboard/power supply for SLI). When you spend so much on GPUs, why cheap out on the display?
The 4k market right now is rather small when it comes to TVs. There simply is not that much content and the prices are quite high. The TV manufacturers are trying to push the content creators in that direction (essentially to be prepared for when the market moves that way. You just have to wonder whether it will catch on or whether it will flop like the 3D movement.
If the color rendition is as poor as you indicate (I'm not challenging you), this definitely will have problems once the word gets out. The PC world is where the bleeding edge gamers are and I think they would be more interested in a large screen with a high refresh rate. Cheers.
