I use a Seiki 50" 4K display for coding and it was a revelation. I love all the bezel-free screen real estate and I would never go back.

For watching full screen video, I just drop the resolution down to 1920x1080 to overcome the 30hz limitation the display currently has.

More competition in the ~50" 4K space is welcome news.

Very chip, but you would need a little(I mean very much) luck to buy it.

I'd love this as my primary monitor for work. Finally the perfect Monitor for a tiling window manager.
