Still on the East Side
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced the launch of the UD590 monitor, featuring Samsung's revolutionary UHD 4K display technology. The monitor's stunning screen offers the ultimate viewing experience for photo enthusiasts and visual professionals, such as graphic designers, architects and more.

"Samsung is a worldwide leader in display technology renowned for our UHD 4K TVs. The UD590 brings that UHD 4K technology to our monitor line up, offering unparalleled imagery right at your desk," said Ron Gazzola, Vice President of Consumer IT Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "It offers a viewing experience unlike any other, perfect for consumers looking to enjoy premium display quality in their homes. We're also introducing several other consumer monitors this year to offer a wide range of high performing options to meet the needs of any user."





Discover Richly Detailed, Stunningly Realistic UHD Picture Quality
The UD590 monitor offers four times the resolution and pixels of Full HD displays (3840x2160). The 28- inch screen has eight million pixels to create the clearest and most detailed picture ever. Furthermore, the monitor includes a UHD upscale feature, which converts low resolution content to UHD level picture quality, resulting in a stunning, unmatched viewing experience.

The UD590 supports one billion colors, which is 64 times more colors than offered by conventional monitors, displaying images in lifelike quality. With one millisecond response time, users can enjoy smooth video playback of even the fastest moving action scenes.

Experience Best-in-Class Response Times
The Samsung UD590 monitor can handle all of the excitement of action movies, games and sports smoothly, thanks to a rapid one-millisecond response time. Viewers can enjoy even the fastest on-screen motion clearly without any motion blur, judder or ghosting. There's no lag during gaming and all the details appear in sharp UHD clarity, so it won't let players down at crucial moments.

Benefit from Advanced Multitasking with Premium Picture-in-Picture Feature
The UD590 features innovative multitasking features that meet the needs of today's busy consumers, who are often working across multiple windows and programs. Samsung's Picture-in-Picture 2.0 offers picture-in-picture windows for easy multitasking and the ability to adjust resolution, screen position and sound as desired. Through the feature, users can watch videos that maintain 100 percent of the source resolution. Whether it's Full HD, 720p or 480p, Picture-in-Picture 2.0 doesn't downscale content and maintains the original resolution, resulting in picture-in-picture visuals that are as clear and crisp as they'd be on their own.

The UD590 also allows users to connect two PCs at once and enjoy each at native resolution at the same time. This enables team members to effortlessly collaborate on the same screen, side by side.

Enjoy a Minimalist Design that Puts Immersive Viewing at the Forefront
A beautiful UHD picture should be the center of attention, and Samsung's sophisticated minimalist design makes sure that it is. Incorporating Samsung's premium design identity, the UD590 features a metallic finish that stands out in any home or office. With clean lines and a modern look, the sleek monitor is constructed from high-quality metal materials and has an understated T-shape stand designed to take up less space, making the picture even more prominent. The tilt function lets users adjust the monitor to the most comfortable viewing level, while sharper viewing angles allow users to experience the gorgeous UHD 4K display from anywhere in the room.

Range of New Consumer Monitors
In addition to the UD590, Samsung is rolling out a full line of consumer monitors beginning in spring 2014, including the SD590 and SD390 products. Available in 23.6 and 27-inch models, these new monitors feature Samsung's PLS panels, which enable users to enjoy wide viewing angles and higher brightness. The monitors' Full HD (1920x1080) resolution is perfect for enjoying content in a living room or home office. Both the SD590 and SD390 feature super narrow bezels and stunning designs that will make a statement in any home.

The UD590 monitor is available for pre-order now for an MSRP of $699.99. The SD590 and SD390 will be available in April 2014 for MSRPs starting at $249.99.

I saw it uses a TN panel, so I guess no... it will have normal fps rate


būūt... TN? I'll pass, I am no pro gamer, and i like good color, contrast reproduction...

According to the 'Q&A' on the Amazon listing "DisplayPort 1.2 : 60Hz HDMI 1.4 : 30Hz"

The question is how. Does the LCD controller support really HBR2 or it cheats again using multi transport...

http://us.hardware.info/reviews/5269/samsung-lu28d590d-review-4k-becomes-affordable

They seem pretty happy with it.

I'd like a second DP port (my laptop only has DP and VGA, no HDMI), but since I can't go out the buy one right now, no matter. There will be other models out when I can afford a 4K monitor.
I read that review a while ago, I think they cited an ~$830 USD price and I thought it was reasonable enough to go for it. ~$699 is so much better for a 28" 4K monitor that can do 60Hz. I know its TN but from what I have heard its one of the better TN panels so I would be willing to give it a shot.

I really don't much care for the stand styling but that's just superficial stuff. I also don't much care for the fact that there is no way to mount the monitor on a different stand like a dual or triple monitor stand,..... which is a functionality issue.

Still, I might give this one a shot,...

Wait,....

Are we sure this is the same model,....?

The review I read was for the Samsung LU28D590D but the one listed here is the Samsung U28D590D

it seems it has a proper controller at last and no dual monitor wizardry....
I still have a little bit of doubt. Wouldn't they make a big deal out of it because it allows people to use it without any multi-monitor shenanigans??

Edit: PCPer says it's (most probably) MST.

Something doesn't look right here. If the monitor is capable of supporting 64 times more colors than a typical 4K monitor then wouldn't it require 64 times more bandwidth from the DisplayPort 1.2 cable? I didn't thing DP 1.2 was capable of that kind of bandwidth. :confused:

Edit: ugh, apparently it uses dithering to reach 1 billion colors, so it's not a "true" color count anyways.

It actually is 10bit per channel... ie 30bpp, and actually there are panels capable to do so. Actually DP1.2 is capable 4K@60hz@30bpp max, and nothing more. They are just advertising the LCD panel controller capabilities, not the panel itself. The Sammys homepage about the panel just spouts rainbows and unicorns and offers wonders like in a Christian church, so just take it all with a grain of salt.

Who cares? 24bit is more than enough for the human eye. You wont distinguish more than 10 million colors anyways. ;)

probably wants to give the message that this monitor is suitable for design professionals. At higher resolutions, lines are less jagged/stair cased and just looks better overall. I currently model and CAD on a 2560x1600 30" monitor and it looks way better than on my 23" 1080p or 24" 1200p screen.

I don't know if this was posted in the other articles, but I assume it is this panel:

http://www.panelook.com/modeldetail.php?id=20029

I personally have a major aversion to (most) Chimei Innolux panels, but hey...cheap is good, and if it works for your needs, great.

I like the fact that a trend has kind of started to emerge for pricing, and it isn't supremely terrible. $700-800 for 28'' models goes pretty well hand-in-hand with $1400 for the 55'' vizio (va) p (or) series msrp. Granted both are relatively budget panels, but I think this is a price palatable to many consumers and sets a reasonable baseline as trickle-down starts to happen over the coming years.

I guess the question becomes how long until korean/chinese companies start making monitors/tvs with higher-end features/panels than (many of) these lower-end models but then compete with them on price. I imagine not very long...

We're getting there. :)

Indeed,.......

I known many have an aversion to TN panels but I have heard these are better then what some are used to seeing. still, color shift and other issues will still be there. I suspect this will b a fairly good experience anyway.

Personally I would like to see the industry start putting out 30", 32" and 40" panels of this type.

Yeah. It's not just color shift because of the viewing angle of tn though, it's also Chimei and their inability to get any key factor right without sacrificing everything else, which is true for most of their VA products as well. You want response time? Viewing angle, refresh rate, contrast...all completely terrible for that 1.5ms response time. I understand there are trade-offs both from different panel tech and their different implementations, and maybe it makes sense if you sit square in front of said screen at all times, sit in pitch black (although 300 cd/m2 aint great either when you start parshing out what that means for decent color/contrast), only plan on using 4k/60, etc.
'
AUO and Sharp seem to be on the right track for striking a balance with VA, and I'm sure at some point someone will do something impressive with full-array ips/pls. The auo/sharps are all pretty close to a decent 1080p panel spec, even at the bottom. 5.5-6.5ms response times (some are 4ms... but those are ridiculously expensive so 240hz 1080p compatibility might be a pipe-dream for a while on consumer 4k), but also 120hz panels accordingly, while keeping decent (obviously not great) viewing angles and contrast for a given brightness level (which matches to the increase brightness and back-light scanning the industry seems headed in). There is a lot of things you can do with hdmi 2.0 bandwidth (from color space, refresh, and resolution) and that innolux spec puts the kobash on anything outside 10-bit/4k/60. I won't meander on about 1080p-4k rez at 60-240hz with at least 10-bit and the possibility of nice adjustments between 4:2:0-4:4:4 again, but the fact remains that will be a thing...sharp and auo seem to be on that path (with at least 1080p 120hz capability) while this tn spec is pretty awful.


As for sizes, I think 64.5 inch tvs will be cut down to monitors in relatively short order, if they are not already. Without a doubt they seem to be the most abundant 4k size. The same obviously goes for 55 (chimei/auo), 60/70/80 (sharp), 58/79 (innlux) and maybe, if we're lucky, LG's 84. That should give us roughly 27, 30-32, and ~40 models. My God, I couldn't even imagine sitting 3 feet from a forty-inch monitor!

(OK, I could, but still...damn.)

I’m looking for some clarification on the above article. Basically there are some pre-orders on Amazon now and Newegg seems to have a Samsung
UD590 4K class monitor for sale now for $859 USD:

SAMSUNG UD590 Series U28D590D Black 28" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor TN Panel300 cd/m2 1000:1

The Hardware.info article in contrast cited an $830 USD price:

which isn’t too far off the Newegg price. However, the Amazon preorder now starts at $795.95 with free shipping and that was lowered since Amazon pre-orders started at about ~$840 not too long ago. Amazon has the following disclaimer up:

Due to limited supply, this product is no longer available for preorder by Amazon.com. Anticipated release of this product from Amazon.com is April 18, 2014.

So naturally my question is about the cited price of $699.99 in this article. Is the $699.99 price listed here the actual MSRP and all others are simply inflating the price or was the $699.99 price an error?

If its simply an inflated money grabbing tactic for early buyers I guess I can wait a bit longer. Maybe the price will drop to or near ~699.99 on or after the 18 th if that is in fact the MSRP,….?
