39" for 489$ - another -$20 if you use v.me

Thanks for posting this. Shipping likely not free?

I believe Amazon will have a BF sale on these for $499 including shipping. edit: looks like they are listed currently on AMZN for $484.99 including shipping. So tempting.

or if you use AMEX sky card-it's -30$ or $19.99 total + SH

Dell 28 inch 4k monitor is less than a $1000. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/12/01/new-24-inch-4k-monitor-detailed-on-dells-website/

Will the built in graphics on a haswell processor run this monitor? Do you need windows 8.1?

How the hell is the 24" more expensive than the 28"? Article error? Either way, not a bad price for 4K. I do however think if you're going to go 4K for trading, you want at least a 39" which is equivalent of 4x 19.5" monitors. On a 24" screen you'd be down to 4x 12" monitor equivalent.

Haswell will support 4K. I would expect every version of Windows to handle 4K, but I'm sure anything Windows 7 or later will suffice.

I'll say it again -- if you're considering 4K for trading, I think it's important to get a large display to get best benefits.

The 24'' will have Sharps IGZO-Display, the 28'' only a normal TN-Panel.

I can't tell if the V.me offer is still valid, but the monitor is now $479 after coupon. With $14 shipping it comes to $494. Use Discover Card and get 5% off whole purchase.

Amazon also has it for $500 right now free shipping....

I cannot find a motherboard with hdmi 2.0 for 60hz 4k so I am guessing you have to use a graphics card until updated motherboards are available to use the onboard graphics.

Also important is the 4K display itself. Pretty much all the first gen displays including Seiki are not HDMI 2.0 themselves and already incapable of anything more than 30hz.

I did try the Seiki as a trading monitor and found that the low refresh rate made it cumbersome when doing a quick chart markup or moving mouse to place order. When I'm trading, I want my mouse to be extremely responsive. It might not be a deal breaker for everyone, especially those who trade high TFs, but just wanted to put it out there!

2014 will be a year of some really cool 4K displays! Just be patient.
