BenQ Announces the EL2870U 27.9-inch 4K UHD HDR10 Monitor
BenQ, the internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle devices, today introduces the BenQ EL2870U, our first 4K UHD monitor with 1ms response time designed specifically for Home Entertainment. The BenQ EL2870U Home Entertainment Monitor features High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology to increase the overall dynamic range between true black and bright white to duplicate what your eyes see in the natural world. Enhanced with the 4K Ultra High Definition resolution offered on the EL2870U, users will experience extraordinary clarity of fine details and textures for the optimal viewing experience, and enhanced screen real estate for visual-intensive work.
Not only does the EL2870U pursue brilliant image performance, it also offers features dedicated to offer a premium 4K Gaming experience. The incredibly fast 1ms Gray-To-Gray (GTG) response time on the EL2870U ensures a much more responsive and fluent in-game experience than a traditional 4K Television, particularly noticeable in first person shooter games. AMD Freesync technology effectively eliminates image tearing, broken frames, and choppy gameplay for a smoother gaming experience for users with an AMD graphics card. By offering High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.2 support, the EL2870U is BenQ's premium choice monitor for 4K Gaming on the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro 4K Game consoles.
Enjoy expanded flexibility and superb HDR video quality from any source through the DisplayPort 1.4 & dual HDMI 2.0 ports. Integrated 2W(x2) speakers on the EL2870U allows you the freedom to watch or play content without the need for external speakers or headphones.
Complementing the viewing experience, BenQ's exclusive Brightness Intelligence Plus (B.I.+) technology in the EL2870U detects ambient brightness and color temperature to adjust display settings to deliver balanced brightness and color temperature to match the environment. B.I.+ technology effectively adjusts the brightness of the monitor to avoid overexposure and enhance details in dark areas. Furthermore, the adjusted brightness and color tone can reduce eye strain due to the harsh contract and increase productivity and eye comfort. The EL2870U also comes with BenQ's Low Blue Light Technology, designed to filter out harmful blue light radiation, effectively diminishing eye fatigue and irritation. Easily switch to one of the four preset Low Blue Light modes from the on screen display to enjoy visual comfort while you work or play. The EL2870U also features flicker-free technology to prevent the harmful effects of monitor flickering, such as excess eye strain.

Not to mention you can take your half assed attempt at poking fun/trolling of nvidia users somewhere else.
Just for pointers, "IPS" and "HDR" by themselves is an inconsistency.
Monitor. Not TV.
If the monitor isnt HDR, it needs to be IPS. If the monitor has HDR, then fine.
So Git gud?
This is quite an average monitor. HDR on this one is just marketing.
So is FreeSync, really. Specs do not show the range but it is likely 40-60Hz, making it all but useless.
but sadly 4K60 is still unattainable (gpu alone will set you back >900$).
But, hey - you asked - and here you go:
www.asus.com/Monitors
Acer too will have equivalent, not only you will have to spend 1200$ for this monitor, but also will have to mug some gtx 1080 Ti miner :D
-RIGHT NOW I can run BF1 on Ultra settings in 4K with ~100 FPS. If I tweaked it a little further and set resolution scaling to 90% I am sure I could hit 144Hz.
-With resolution scaling in more and more games, you can easily set the resolution your gpu is capable of running at high refresh rates. No 75% or 90% is not "Full 4K", but it still looks WAY better than 1440p.
-I play other games like AOE3, L4D2, Mount And Blade, etc that could easily run at 5K @ 144Hz.
In a nutshell, not all games are hard to run; and it would be nice if I could select 4K@60 for cinematic games, and ~3K@144Hz for competitive multiplayer games. Plus I will upgrade graphics cards some time in 2019, and they will blow 4K and lower away if Navi is anything close to what it should be.
Ohhh figured out ......you got to be of those many out there !Believe me im on the same mindset but then again i start to think about the pricetag of such a product and this is where i return to sleep .
I do know what up-scaling is, and I am happy to use it in many games. That's what I said though if you are paying attention: I am happy with what I have now until there is a massive upgrade available for $1000 or less.
Firstly, contrast is brightness and brightness is saturation;Second: VA is faster than IPS.
( i mean the relation with color reproduction ) .Yeah NO , i mean theory/marketing is good but sometimes you have to move beyond that .
Reviews on TFTcentral www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews.htm show consistently VA based monitors having higher recorded response times than IPS ( VA panels sit around 13-15ms while IPS panels sit around 8-10ms)
If you want to consider my inferences on the deeds of better dark illumination, perhaps you could check at displaymate.
