Does anyone have experience trading on a 4K display? I think they have the potential to make a sweet trading setup.

For those who don't know, they are super high resolution displays that are essentially the equivalent of having 4x 1080p screens in a 2x2 setup.

You can get this for around $500. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DOPGO2G/

While it might not be the best for gaming or color accuracy, for trading it seems perfect.

I use two 2560x1600 screens which give a desktop resolution of 5120x1600. That is 8,192,000 pixels (vs 8,294,400 for the Seiki Digital SE39UY04 linked above), so not much of an improvement for me.

However, I couldn't replace even one of my current monitors for $600. So this may be a more cost effective option for someone who legitimately needs such display real estate but hasn't bought any screens yet.
 
I use it, but getting it to work right was a hassle and it still doesn't exactly refresh properly. If I had to do it over again, I'd wait till it's more mature and use dual 2560x1600's in the mean time.
