nice but cant do $800

[Cyberburnout]

Ummm no. Would be wicked to have but there is just no way I can spend $800 on a monitor. That is the price of a wicked LED tv. Might not game at 4k but it will be 55" of smexy!

Too expensive! >_< Pass!!

I did not pay that for my SAMSUN 56''. Witch by the way I use for my monitor.

I bet it looks great, but I can not see spending that much on one panel viable. Dont the hdmi 1080p tvs look good enough, for something that big?

If I had that kind of cash floating around I might consider buying one.

Then I would need one or two ~much better~ video cards to drive it.

They'll come down in price eventually,............

Good enough is subjective. If you just want to play at a good res then 1080p Tv is perfectly fine. I have 1 PC connected to a 55" LCD and play games on it. Its fun because the picture is freaking huge. But If you want a bit more detail then you have to get an actual monitor as they are capable of higher res.

With that said. There is no way in hell I would pay $800 for one monitor. Well unless I hit the lotto then I would have like 6 of them! haha But in a normal case I would just buy 3 lcds at under $200 each and pocket the change. Or use them to buy Display port cables. lol

What a bargin compared to the ASUS 31.5 inch 4K $3000.00 model

ASUS' 31.5-inch 4K monitor may be the ideal display for many content creators, but a typical asking price over $3,000 rules it out for all but the most affluent. Much to our relief, the company is bringing the cost of its technology closer to Earth with a new 28-inch display, the PB287Q. It touts the extra-sharp 3,840 x 2,160 resolution of its bigger sibling, just in a smaller and cheaper form factor. You aren't giving up much in the way of features, either, as the 28-inch panel boasts a quick 1ms response time, DisplayPort, MHL-capable HDMI and a rotatable design. The real highlight, of course, is the discount -- the PB287Q will ship in the second quarter for $799, which both puts it on par with Lenovo's affordable 4K display and makes it easier to justify for penny-pinching workstation buyers.

Instead of ASUS you can check this 39" 4k TV: Seiki Digital SE39UY04 39-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz LED TV for only $499.99

Anyone one want my kidney or part of my liver??

How many games actually support 4K at this point. I picked up an ultra wide LG display and ended up taking it back because so much of the content I use doesn't support the ultra wide format. Left me with a letter box effect.

Good point, I think very few or none, and as always every new piece of tech is very expensive in the beginning, I remember when I've bought my first CD burner (speed 1X), it cost me almost a $1K, and now it cost $15-$25 top, so we just need to wait (1 year approx.), and there will be more 4K games and prices of 4k TV/monitors will drop. Just not to forget that the first ASUS 27" 3d monitor (VG278H), cost almost $800 (price of Asus 28" 4K monitor now).

Almost all of the newish titles support 4k aka Ultra HD. Bioshock, Tomb Raiders, BF4, COD, Crysis 3, Grid 2, Elder Scrolls, Arma 3 and many many more. even BF3 supports Ultra HD. The gaming industry was already a head of the curve. I dont think you will find any problems finding support for 4k games on PC.

Consoles are a different issue.

The best way to support my 4K gaming is to lower prices on the hardware. 800 bucks is crazy expensive for some of us.
