He means without the several sets of bezels you'd normally have from the normal way of getting this much screen area, i.e., by having several monitors.
How does one handle window placement in a single monitor setup like that? I quite often use Windows' fill right, fill left, maximize, fill height options for window arrangement.

I use a 39" 4k Seiki, and I've been very happy with it too. Paid $420 about a month ago (it's $500 from Amazon right now), and it's a pretty amazing amount of real estate without a bezel. 30hz is a little annoying for some tasks, but for coding and other static applications, it really doesn't bother me.
I've recently done the same. Still trying to get my work environment set up decently. We need some sort of user group for people doing 4k programming to exchange ideas, tools, methods, etc.

I use a 39" Seiki with my MacBook, and managing windows is a relatively minor but real annoyance. I just drag and resize manually, and usually end up with overlapping windows of different sizes all over the place. I still love the display and would never go back, but it feels like I'm not using it quite as effectively as I could. I suspect this is a gap that will be filled pretty quickly once these monitors become mo…

It's clear from the Chinese version of the site that it's 4K: http://www.mi.com/mitv
That's a different display. Look on the tech specs page for the chinese one: http://www.mi.com/mitv#params and compare it to the OP: http://www.mi.com/en/mitv#fullspecs For example, the CPUs are different, one's a snapdragon 1.7GHz, the other is a Cortex A9, 1.4GHz. (Different GPUs too.) Not to mention one explicitly says it's 1920x1080, while the other is "4K".

>For watching full screen video, I just drop the resolution down to 1920x1080 to overcome the 30hz limitation the display currently has. Why is 30hz a limitation for video? Most video is 24 or 30fps, so 30hz should be fine, no? I can see 30hz being a limitation for gaming but you wouldn't be able to get good fps at 4K resolution anyway. So basically you should be able to run this at 4K all the time.
24fps video on a 30hz display isn't going to be smooth. Every fourth frame of the video will last for twice as long as the rest. I haven't seen it in person - one of the downsides of being in rural New Zealand is no friends with cool toys :) - but I've seen much less severe problems on paper be quite nasty. In game development, my day job, the industry has recently been cracking down on micro stutter, where even rand…
NB the linked page is currently for the MiTV 1 (1080p, 47"), but the topic is about V2;[1] On the SOC side, it's 4x cortex A9 @ 1.45Ghz with Mali 450 MP4 GPU-- h265 decode at 4K/30fps, 2GB RAM supports miracast, airplay, dlna, widi, SMB, dual band ac wifi, USB3, micro SD, bluetooth 4 (BT LE remote with finder). 15.5mm thick and 6.2mm bezel. It has everything, except the HDMI version is conspicuous in its absence-- so…
Is this because it is a "smart" TV, or should I expect all computer monitors to have this degree of complexity these days ?
I'd like my monitor to be as dumb as possible, thanks.

For Mac OS X, check out Moom (on the Mac App Store). It lets you arrange windows in various nice ways via clicks or keystrokes.
