The UD590 features a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 with 1 billion colors and a 1-millisecond response time. In addition, the display offers Picture-in-Picture 2.0 technology that allows users to multi-task at full resolution and connect two PCs to one monitor at the same time. A DisplayPort and two HDMI 1.4 connections are integrated as well.

Meanwhile, the SD390 and SD590 both use 1080p panels. The former features Samsung's touch of color design with an emerald border, and the latter features a glossy black bezel. Both monitors offer Magic Upscale Technology as well. The SD390 includes a single VGA and HDMI port, and the SD590 includes an additional HDMI port.

The 28-inch UD590 is now up for pre-order for an April 21 release. Suggested list price is $700, but Amazon seller BizBuy International currently has it listed for about $844.
