certainly good pricing but quick scan of 1 star reviews shows them dying less then 2 years, some within a few weeks. also dead pixels, and ghosting.
I would look at dell outlet for monitors when they go on sale. The ones i bought that way even though they only had 90 days warranty, i never had any issues with them.

I've seriously been contemplating replacing my quad 4k setup (4x 32" Benq monitors) to the 3840x2560 resolution monitors, but...at 28" I fear the pixel density is just too high. I don't use scaled resolutions (I need all the screen real estate), and at 28"...gah!

p.s. That's an awesome price for that monitor, but...the quality maybe suspect.

I'm on our 2nd Gigabyte 165Hz replacement (broke twice, replaced twice) so let me tell you the "gotcha" with these cheap monitors.

While they do provide warranty, YOU have to pay for shipping to get it to them. At $60 a pop (coporate discounted! UPS Store wanted $85 to ship it without a discount), once you replace it twice you could just pick up another monitor. :( And I even had the original box.

I find 4k only just about usable on a 43" Dell U4323QE so I'd need glasses like bottle bottoms to see it on a 28" screen.

I get what you are saying about screen real estate...I use a 32" 3840x2160 monitor flanked by a pair of 28" 2560x2880 monitors. They all have the same native DPI, so it works well. That's as much real estate as a 53" 6400x3600 monitor.

I agree that the 28" more-than-4K is a very high pixel density, but remember that scaling only affects UI elements. If you are doing something like picture/video editing, every pixel is still there and individual addressable.

For text editing, you can set the UI scaling so the interface is usable, then just shrink the font size used by the editor. The difference in actual usable area is very small, with just title bars and toolbars taking up a bit more room.

I have a 27" and 2x 28" -- all 4k. Even with fading vision I'm a pixel snob and will never go back to 1080. PPI is at the far low-end of Apple's Retina displays over the years so it's really not excessive IMHO.

This many pixels almost makes font hinting, anti-aliasing, and subpixel layout moot points. It's text rendering by brute force and I love it!

I have a 4k 27" and 1440p 32".

I love the text sharpness on the 4k/27, and the 1440p/32" is for when I want to not have to go find my glasses.

I bought 3 of the 27 in and 3 of the 28 in and 4 of the 32in :) lol.
The 32in 4K sceptre is now completely sold out! You won't find a new in the box 32in 4k IPS for $150 in a while...

I am running the gawfolk 28 inch 3840x2560 right now. Really like it. It likely use the same ips panel used in BenQ RD280U and Huawei MateView 28.2 since there is not many of these 28 in 3840x2560 panel. The color is nice. for $140 it's hard to beat when you get two HDMI 2.0 and two DP 1.4

I see they have two models at slightly different price points. Can't figure out what's different about them.
