4K Monitors

Anyone have any experience with these? Prices for 4K monitors have dropped down pretty significantly with some claiming they've bought them for as low as 400$.

I do a lot of graphical-based engineering design on my computer. Right now, I'm using a triple monitor setup (2 HD monitors + laptop monitor), but I was exploring the idea of just using a single 32" 4K monitor and split windows throughout the screen.

I don't want 28" as I'm worried it might be too small, but then again, I don't know what the experience with a 32" is like up close. Anyone have any particular recommendations or experience they'd like to share?

I'm not too up to date on this 4K business but are LCD teevee's an option or is the refresh no good?

Some apps are a pain in the ass at that resolution. Almost to the point of unusability. You should see if anyone is complaining about the apps you use at that resolution.

Otherwise they're pretty damn nice.

I have a Dell 30 inch 4K monitor. Typically I run it at at 1920x1080 as at 4K things are pretty small.

I switch to 4K resolution for some things. It's awesome for viewing and editing photos; they look much better when not scaled down to lower resolutions.

Yea, that's what I'm primarily worried about with smaller screen sizes and 4k resolution. Seiki is supposedly coming out with a 32" version of their 4k monitors supporting 60Hz that's very competitively priced and was claimed to be available in Q1 of 2015.

If you are running 1920x1080, on a 4K monitor you can run four screens of that resolution. So take your existing screen and run it in the top one quarter of your display. It's small. Icon and font size needs adjusting unless you have eagle eyes. Mouse cursor movement is slower, so it needs adjustment.

The Dell I have was about $700. It only does 30Hz at 4K resolution, so it wouldn't be great for apps like gaming. The monitor also wanted to use display port.

I also had to get a different video card that supports 4K resolution and display port.
