#2I'm left wondering how long until we have mainstream video cards capable of driving games at these resolutions? Seems like we're a ways off...

#3With 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.

#4Dude. 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.

There's some price discrimination going on here, yes, but keep in mind that a) the PQ on that Seiki will be horrible; 2) at 39" it's way too large; and iii) as you note, it does not have a useful way to get a signal into it.
The win with a ~200dpi 24" 4k will be OS X-style Retina upscaling, not simply screen real estate.

#6And 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.

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
4K at 24" is really interesting, however. Not necessarily because I want to use a small monitor again, but rather because it's a sign that we are slowly inching toward high-DPI large form-factor displays. And I've been waiting for that to happen for a decade.
Next would be extending that pixel density to 30" (~6K) and larger (~8K). Then I will celebrate a bit.

(A) Horrible is a vast overstatement. Unless you need calibrated color, it is fine.
(2) Being too large is relative, my 30" 2560x1600 quickly became normal sized. For the additional pixels the additional inches of a 39" seems about right.
(iii) HDMI at 30Hz is just fine for anything but gaming. I used to have an IBM T221 that also ran at 30Hz and it was no problem at all for text and video. Some people expect there will be mouse lag, there wasn't.

a) Not really. Obviously, Seiki isn't setting a benchmark for build quality. But it's also not "horrible." My wife's Seiki has zero dead pixels and is crisp and clear. Brightness isn't even around the edges, but "horrible" is going too far. It's far less horrible than a TN panel, for instance.
2) 39" is not way too large. I want 50" on my desktop.
iii) Yeah, HDMI 1.4 is limiting, but 30Hz makes it still usable for non-gaming. DisplayPort? I guess I won't balk at it, but just give me HDMI 2.
I am critical of the monitor for other reasons: a) it doesn't power up on DPMI on and has a splash screen, 2) it has a semi-glossy screen and professional monitors should be matte, and iii) it's HDMI 1.4.

At $3,500 for the 32", the 24" will probably be $2,500-3,000. So, whether or not you will be getting 2-4 I guess depends on whether you'd rather have these monitors, or a car.
