#12And to think I thought the Thunderbolt display was pricey at $1k. I love it, but I don't think I could possible realize (or notice) the increase in capability unless working heavily in graphics and video, and that's assuming that the machine attached to it has a card that takes advantage of it.
The Monoprice 27" (using the same panel as the Apple Thunderbolt display) is under $400 this weekend: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=109&cp_id=10909&cs_id=...
I have one beside the same size thunderbolt display and I like the monoprice one better (it seems to have a more effective anti-reflective coating).

#13With the 39" Seiki 4K "tv" at less than $500 shipped, the $3,500 pricing level on the Dells seems excessive. I'm certain the Dells are better monitors, but are they 700% better? If Seiki revs their model line-up to include display-port, all these official monitors will really be in trouble. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOPGO2G
I was a little floored by the Seiki price drop. When it happened, I Tweeted at Seiki to ask if this is a precursor to a replacement unit that functions more as a monitor (60Hz, HDMI 2, no splash screen, DPMI on, no speakers, matte surface). That's wishful thinking, of course. The tweet was mostly just to put the demand in front of them. :) Incidentally, my review of my wife's Seiki: http://tiamat.tsotech.com/seiki-4k…
Off-topic but thanks for the noscript message.

#16Watch out for problems with the monitor. New ultra-high-def monitors often have problems such as lag or poor color accuracy.
Before buying this, you need to wait until a professional with a colorimeter and a lagmeter evaluates this monitor if you remotely care about color accuracy or gaming. Resolution isn't the only consideration when buying a new monitor.

#17Dude. Sweet! If the price is reasonable, I'll buy 2-4 for my desktop. I'd love to have the knock-off cheap dead pixels Korean version even more, actually.
I picked up a couple Korean 27" 1440ps for the desktop for around $300 and loving them. They're even overclockable.

I wonder if I can get this in Australia. I know about the Catleap monitors but I'd like to think that Monoprice does some QA

Seiki is still HDMI/1.x and doesn't support 60FPS. Nor will it help gaming at it's limit refresh rate. The good is that they're putting pressure on the big brands. If it was HDMI/2.0, I'd be all over it.

Sure it is! Reading on a monitor is pure torture ever since I bought a Retina MBP. If this is anywhere close to being affordable (realistically: no) I'd buy it for that reason alone.
