Performance

First impressions of this monitor are pretty decent. The colour accuracy looks off though, with it leaning towards a slight green tint. Black levels aren’t anything crazy, but I am coming from a QLED panel that I use daily. For a typical TN panel, it’s about what you would expect on default settings.

The UI is simple enough, and as you can see, we have a single HDMI 2.0, and two HDMI 1.4 ports here.

Basic brightness and contrast controls.

A choice of gamma settings, picture m odes and colour temperatures. This is great news, as this should be all we need to fix that wonky colour accuracy.

Some more advanced settings here, so far so good.

Here we can set the DisplayPort from 1.1 to 1.2, if you really need to.

The 4K panel is pretty great, and at 28″ it’s about as small as I could comfortably go before pixel density was wasted. You can comfortably read everything, although setting windows to 125-150% scaling is highly recommended. The extra real estate is great for putting documents side by side, so I can read reddit and work on eTeknix, neat.

As for gaming, well, I was bloody impressed actually. There’s no major issues with latency, ghosting or anything that I can see. The panel responds very well and fast action from Forza Horizon 4 looked stunning. The colours really popped too, as it’s quite a vibrant game.

The same goes for Shenmue 3, the 4K panel really flexed the detail this game has to offer.

A professional colour grading monitor this is not. However, the added resolution is great for editing work overall.

Let’s get the calibration tool on there for some measurements and see what improvements can be made!
