Moving on, while TN panels have the worst viewing angles and colors, they do have the fastest response time speedof only 1ms. Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.

Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The Samsung U28E590D (UE590) is one of the most affordable 4K Ultra HD monitors you can get, but there are many things you should keep in mind before considering it right now. Image Quality Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.For PC use, keep in mind that the monitor will require scaling due to its high pixel density, and some applications don’t scale all that well. We can’t really blame theSamsung U28E590D monitor for this as certain apps are simply poorly-optimized. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Enjoy smooth images, even during fast-moving scenes. AMD FreeSync dynamically syncs the screen refresh rate with the frame rate of your content to minimize input latency and dramatically reduce image tearing and stutter during gaming. Plus, with a lightning fast 1ms response time, you’ll see even the fastest on-screen motion clearly and smoothly with less motion blur, judder and ghosting. The fast response time provides a steady visual allowing players to experience their games at a higher level. UPDATE: July 29, 2016 - If you want a good IPS alternative, there is this 27" 4K monitor from LG: LG 27UD68-P 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync , and the white version: LG Electronics 4K UHD 27UD68-W 27" Screen LED-Lit Monitor **

There's some ghosting happening when I scroll. A line of text will sort of duplicate and blur while scrolling. Changing Response Time to "Standard" rather than "Faster" or "Fastest" seems to help. Maybe this would be different if I had a graphics card with AMD FreeSync; I have an Nvidia card instead. Its not monumentally bad either. Its just a mediocre or perhaps slightly below average TN display. But if you are going 4k, and not going for gaming, then you should get IPS. And this isn't a gaming monitor. So what is it for? Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount For any content that you submit, you grant SAMSUNG a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully transferable right and license to use, copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such content and/or incorporate such content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world without compensation to you.On the other hand, if you have a FreeSync-compatible graphics card, you can synchronize theSamsung U28E590D refresh rate with the GPU’s frame rate and thus eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. It’s basically just as fast as the Samsung U28E950D, but it also offers much better colors, wider viewing angles, a more ergonomic and stylish design, and FreeSync support over both HDMI and DisplayPort. Conclusion UPDATE: July 29, 2016 - If you want a good IPS alternative, there is this 27" 4K monitor from LG: [[ASIN:B01CH9ZTI4 LG 27UD68-P 27-Inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor with FreeSync]], and the white version: [[ASIN:B01C3BZIIC LG Electronics 4K UHD 27UD68-W 27" Screen LED-Lit Monitor]]** The 4K resolution, however, will ensure that the image is sharp and crisp with maximum details and plenty of screen space.

It's build quality is premium and strong. Although it's not fully made of metal, it's material is still premium feeling and the monitor looks modern and appealing. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). I would return it, but its quite a big hassle. So I might end up keeping it. But I'm not impressed at all. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.Besides support for 10-bit color depth via dithering (8-bit + FRC) and 4K resolution, theSamsung U28E590D display boasts a peak luminance of 370-nits, which will ensure that the picture is bright even in well-lit rooms. This UHD monitor gives you 64 times more color than conventional monitors--an incredible 1 billion colors. That means that movies, games, and other multimedia content appear detailed, natural looking, and extremely realistic. More colors also ensure a smoother transition between different tones for a richer, more accurate picture. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. First of all, the Samsung U28E590D monitor features a TN panel,which in comparison to IPS and VA panels, delivers an inferior image quality due to its narrow viewing angles and bad color reproduction.
