4K IPS for this price? What's the trap? The panel is terrible?

Sir_PlaysalotThe specs show that it has a narrow color gamut and low brightness, which are related to each other and the price.

tautologWhat's that mean for gaming in a general sense?

PhantomFace757If you typically play in dark room, it should be fine. Other than that, movies might not look so great. The 250 brightness is like a mid range laptop screen, but these are still IPS, so you won't lose much brightness from the side. You usually see 300, but since eyes are sensitive to light in a logarithmic way, the screen will only be perceived to be less than 10% darker. From the best monitors on the market, it is like switching from a 60 watt bulb to a 40 watt bulb, but at less than half the price, it is a good value.

tautologThe brightness is pretty low yes, but is that a problem? I'm 90% sure it's more than enough to be used confortably in every environment unless you have sun rays right on the screen the whole day, 250 is not uncommon, set it to max brightness and will you actually have much problems?
Color gamut is actually very high, it's NTSC which is much wider than sRGB and even adobe, converted it's pretty much 100% sRGB
Something is off here, i can't wrap my head around this price, looks way too convenient GTG is actually pretty good for IPS, it's a 8 bit + a frc.....seriously why is this monitor so cheap?
I mean it's not the best 4k panel on the market, ok; it doesn't have thin bezels nor it has super cool design, ok...but what the heck

Sir_PlaysalotYes. I generally agree. I haven't done the math of how close to sRGB it is, but I agree that it would work for most uses, but the question was about the differences, and that is the one difference I saw in the specs. I just figured that I should mention it. It certainly is a temping buy.
I also agree that the 8 bit base depth is good. It seems to be just good enough, but I rarely buy monitors and TVs, so I am always reluctant, and even I am tempted on this one. Usually I over-buy a little because I expect to keep it a long time.
