I use a Samsung U28D590D via Displayport 1.2 powered with an R9 R290. Running on Win 8.1 and at 60Hz. Looks great, can play games at full res and most programs suit the dpi. No major problems. However, Linux is a completely different story. I had a hell of a time getting the drivers to work and after about a week of crashes, reinstalling and trying to tweak the size of things so they were visible I gave up and went b…

I'm not a big fan of Windows 8. I do development on my desktop Linux box or Mac laptop. What Linux distro did you have trouble with using 4K? Any idea if Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn released this month) addresses any of the 4K driver issues?
Linux mint was the the distro I was using for their HiDpi support. I'm not sure if it matters that much as it's really the drivers that let it down. I also tried the latest Fedora but that failed to even boot on my machine... (probably wasn't monitor related).
To be honest you could probably get it to work with perseverance and Linux nohow. One of the problems I was having was that whenever I would wake the screen from sleep it wouldn't give me a login dialog and would require a hard reset. When I searched the problem I got the open-source blame shift, "it's their implementation that's broken. We're not changing our code" so I ragequit and went back to Bill.
So: HDMI and DisplayPort can't do 4k@60Hz without hacks. HDMI 2 is OK, but there are no video cards that do HDMI 2. DisplayPort 1.3 is also OK, but there are no monitors or video cards that use it. DisplayPort 1.2 can do 4k by pretending the monitor is two 1920x2160 monitors and using two DisplayPort streams. How this interacts with your video card depends on how many hacks your driver vendor has implemented. Linux w…
If you’re looking for a reasonable balance of resolution, PPI, then I’d go for a 2560x1600 27” monitor. (I got rid of my Dell 3007WFP-HC for an iMac 27” + 27” TB display - still vastly disappointed at the lack of Retina TB display, though I understand the logistics).
Apple set the bar with the iMac 5K. We have to wait for the display manufacturers to catch up to it; as well as a new display port standard to actually use these. So my advice is to wait it out.

If your are using it as a monitor for development, web browsing and other standard desktop stuff the Seiki 32" 4k TV (only $350!) and a rMBP is great. WRT the lag, etc. there's some minor screen tearing, but definitely no keyboard lag. It is necessary to turn off all the TV motion items and play with the colors a little but for the price it's great.
The smoothness of 60Hz is not to be underestimated.
I bought this a Samsung 40" UHD TV (UN40HU7000F) a few months ago. In this page somebody ask if the TV has support for HDMI 2.0. As far as I can tell (using a poor translation by Google) it support said version of HDMI by changing the the HDMI Color Mode. Can anyone with fluid Korean can confirm? http://www.samsungsvc.co.kr/online/faqView.do?domainId=NODE0...
Korean here. The TV is configured to use HDMI 1.4 by default, but you can turn on HDMI 2.0 mode by changing a setting called "HDMI UHD Color".
Here are my questions. If i used a central monitor at 4k (the samsung U28D590D) and used 2 x 144 hz Asus on either side, would that work with windows 8.1? Basically one Titan would be hooked up to the 4k monitor via display port, and the two Asus 144hz would be hooked normally to the second Titan card via DVI.
OR another solution would be to do away with all these 27" or 28" monitors and use one larger TV as a 4k monitor? Tv's do not have display port in do they? How about these vizio P series? Since the Titans WILL only output 60hz from the display port...how do I plug in the display port into a 4k tv? I'm so confused, and keep throwing money at something that may be impossible?
