Is this monitor good for PC gaming? I have a GTX 970. I already ordered the item, but wondering if I should cancel for another one.

In terms of response time, it's got some of the lowest response times compared to other IPS or AMVA monitors, and games look great on it. It won't beat a 144hz gaming monitor obviously, but I play competitive games on it and it does pretty well.

It's a pretty good monitor and I have been using this for quite a while now without issues. I don't see a reason of why you wouldn't be able to use this for PC Gaming. The only issue would be that the monitor is glossy and so the glass is reflective. Other than that I think it pretty good.

If you have the money for a GTX970, definitely invest in a great monitor. The Dell S2440L is not bad but I am using a basic dual graphics R7 250 MSI because I am not doing heavy gaming. For your graphics cards, here are the cons to this monitor: 1. It is 1 HDMI, 1 VGA: why do monitors use VGA?. I did not notice it has a VGA until it was too late. Your graphics cards only has DVI and HDMI. So you will then have to spend money to buy an adapter if you intend to do more than one monitor. 2. Max resolution in the monitor is 1920 x 1080, your graphics card is 4096 x 2160. So in the end you will not bring out the max resolution from your graphics card because of the monitors capabilities 3. This is an article I considered when I was purchasing my monitor for a little guide/help: http://www.cnet.com/topics/monitors/buying-guide/ I hope that helps and great graphics card!

The monitor will work great for game. The only issue is the glare. If you have a window behind you, the glare will drive u crazy! I had to tilt the monitor down to offset the glare.

It's a LED monitor with 120hz refresh rate, 1ms response (GTG) time and also it's a 3D monitor..Here is the Amazon link if that will help you.

Colors seem a bit washed out...but, a little tweaking on the settings can correct most of that. This screen's strong point is the 120hz that delivers smooth images in gaming...FPS look fantastic, no lag or blur and the monitor itself is beautiful.

I'm a pretty dedicated gamer myself and I've had the monitor for a few weeks now. I could hardly notice anything personally. However if you really don't like the colors you could download the proper monitor color profile online and it will supposedly make it look great. Although I never bothered because it was fine to me. And I have no idea what the angle problem is. If you mean is the screen a little tilted or whatever I'm going to say that mine is perfectly fine. Hope this helps you make your choice.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is an awesome monitor. I had to turn the brightness down, but this is true with any monitor really. I get eye strain, but this is a personal thing. However, it is an awesome monitor well worth the price. Asus makes great hardware.

Yes! I am a hard core PC gamer and I am very happy with this monitor! The IPS panel provides clean, accurate and vibrant colors in all my games, from RPGs to racing simulators.

Chances are good that the better your video card the happier you will be with this 4K monitor. Just because your current card has compatible ports doesn't mean it can effectively drive such a high resolution display. For day to day ordinary use (web browsing, etc) it's overkill; however, when working in Photoshop, After Effects, or most any other raster graphics program... having those extra pixels is nothing short of amazing! Just remember for general use (reading/browsing/etc.) to resize your fonts or you will be squinting at the display ;)

Hi George. I have a i5, 16gb ram, and a GTX 660. I play Borderlands, Evil Within, and other games on max video settings and on the native (max) resolution. The games run perfectly and your video card has more power than mine. I love this monitor! I have also tried using the 29" and it really was too small. If you need any examples or demos on the monitor, let me know and I can make a youtube video for you. Youtube video: http://youtu.be/ypMN7Ya4j9c

Yes this monitor is compatable with the Xbox one. In my opinion you won't find a better monitor for the money. I use it for pc, ps4, and Xbox one. It's the best I've ever used. Asus makes a comparable model but it's more expensive. Asus also makes some cheaper models that are good for gaming as well. My vote is this is the best bang for the buck.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C; Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

It has a 5ms refresh rate and a "Game Mode" feature on the front panel that allows quick change to Game Mode. At this price point this is a very good monitor to use for gaming. It also presents an excellent picture as well as excellent text display when not in Game Mode.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.
