I would be more interested in the 39 inch version if both of them weren't so expensive.
But really, about time!

[Jamesrt2004]

probably verrry expensive? like 2k? maybe worth it I guess for Pro' photographers/designers etc using the current 30" 2500x1600(whatever similar res it actually is)

Wish really that some inbetweeny' res monitors would come out a more usable size like 24/27.

Or just more 2560 x 1600 monitors with higher pixel density.


I'll be getting a 4k probably next spring when prices have come down a bit and I can build a fresh gaming rig

[rk7p5]

I can't wait for these 4k tv's and monitors, then i can have the best of both worlds (bigger screen and nice pixel density)

i wish that 50" 4k Seiki did 60hz.

[PatRaceTin]

how about a price

[Zloyd]

Would be really nice to have 24in 1600p monitors.

[nossy23]

I'm waiting for 120Hz Oled 4K monitors and single GPU's powerful enough to drive those. Still a few years off.

[TuKo]

Eyefinity setups are going to be really GPU hungry :-)

[Rob94hawk]

Wow! I still don't know which is the best 2560x1600 for gaming and this comes out.

[SubZero.it]

Finally we are going to see some 1440P 23-24" monitors.

[GoldenTiger]

Give me 120hz of this .!

You'll need to buy another two 780s to drive a 4k monitor, me thinks. Crysis 3 is one game I can't even come close to maxing w/ a gtx 690 @ 1600p.

30" 1600p / 27" 1440p monitors are now in the $400ish range. I'd get 3 of those over a single 4k, but that's just me.

Where are these 30" 1600p monitors for ~$400?

Not to hijack the thread but what do you recommend in either of these? It's the last piece of the puzzle.

+1,

this is something I would also like to know

There's a lot of 1440p (sorry for the mistake) that are built with korean panels floating around on ebay from reputable buyers:

There's a long thread on hardforum about it.

There's also overloard monitors mentioned here on XS: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...nitors-is-here.

Found here: http://overlordcomputer.com/collections/27-displays (OOS for now though)

Monoprice had a house branded 30" in that range, but the price went up recently. People on slickdeals find price drops now and again. It's $700, but has been much cheaper.

Its seems to have pathetic contrast...

[naokaji]

if you want a 30" screen, just get a dell.

Yes I know it sounds like a joke, garbage brand and high price, but dell monitors are criminally underrated.

Anyway, good to see Asus (and others) finally starting to push the boundaries , monitor technology has been stagnant for way too long.

I will wait with praising part until I see the price... I don't just want these to become available, I want to see some competition for customers, without price-fixing schemes, and prices actually dropping towards reasonable levels.

Korean monitors have clearly shown us that we are being ripped off.

hmm I've had my HP LP 3065 since 2007 and still going great and doesn't have a scaler so less input lag
now I don't know if I would buy a new HP or Dell if I had to replace my 30"

do these asus 4k's have a scaler in them anyone know ?

PRICED!!!

$3,799

I want to say that's actually affordable, considering how much some of us spend on other stuff.

can't see it at that price on a 31" screen I might go for the 39" at that price but at 31 I will just stay with 1600p
and if the 31" is 3800 the 39" will be 5k to 6k

[ma2ha3]

4K was 4096x2160 16:10 aspect, when it cost a small car.

then when sharp start making this screen, the industry try to con us by saying 4k is now 3840x2160 and 16:9 aspect.

I will not be sway, give me 16:10 or no go.

[WangChung]

It appears there's two different standards for what "Four K" actually is: 4K and 4K UHD. '4K' by itself is 4096x2160 and found mainly in projectors and computer only applications. Whereas '4K UHD (Ultra HD)' is the marketing/consumer resolution of 3840x2160 which is "4 times" the amount of pixels as 1080p. Which is really stupid, when you consider that the "4K" cameras out right now shoot in 4096x2160.
The conflict between the two is completely asinine, considering the movie studios themselves dictated through the DCI (here) that the standard for next generation film projection is 4096x2160. Which means what you'll get on any of the TVs coming to market is an improperly displayed mush of ultra high definition.
