Top 5 Ultra HD 4K Gaming Monitors for Hardcore Gamers from Cheap to High End

4K gaming will be the next revolution in the gaming industry. Now there are many GPUs that can push to higher-than 1080p resolution. What is the use of these graphic cards if you do not have a 4K monitor. OK.. Whatever.. I am gonna buy one.. But then comes the next question or kinda problem. What's the budget?

Many 4K are way over priced. Its hard to find an affordable one. Here I list the top 5 4K monitors you can count on. From cheap to high end.

Asus tops the list with its stunning 31.5 inch display with ultra HD 3840x2160 resolution and 140 PPI. The display has a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Other features include anti-glare LED back-lit IGZO display which provide ultra crisp and bright images with wide viewing angle.

IGZO stands for Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide panel which provides far more advantages than ordinary.

• It provides much smaller pixels and better details.
• Supports increased pixel transparency and reduced current leakage and therefore is more energy efficient.

Asus PQ321Q comes with 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort and built-in dual speakers. The monitor can be tilted, swiveled and height adjusted. It is wall mountable also.

With 8 million pixels, Asus PQ321Q gives 4 times the resolution of full HD. The 10 bit RGB panels gives you more natural and smoother gradations.

Design of PQ321Q is elegant and sleek. Its thickest point measures only 35 mm. Imagine how thin a monitor can be.

We can say, without doubt, Asus PQ321Q is the best among 4K monitors so far, if price is no bar.

The announcement of Samsung's new ultra HD 4K UD590 for $700 has got the hopes of every gamer high. And they nailed it as they said. The UD590 has a 28 inch TN panel with 157 PPI and 3840 x 2160 resolution. The 60Hz monitor is capable of displaying 1 billion colors with a very short 1ms response time. Provided the specs, the UD590 has already conquered the market. For those die hard gamers out there, this is your best deal.

The Samsung UD590 has an attractive design with 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort connections. Unfortunately there is no DVI connection.

For a 10 bit color display $700 ($550 on Amazon) is much less price tag. Since the panel is Twisted Nematic, you get cheap and fast display but less wider viewing angles. But who cares its $700 only.

You'll need a couple of powerful graphics cards to utilize the monitor at its max. But technology is ever evolving. So there is never a good time for buying 4K gaming monitor than now.

If you are looking for a top quality affordable 4K monitor, Samsung UD590 would be the perfect choice.
