$599+Tax. Go through Upromise.com to save 5%. I ordered another one. hopefully I'll have better luck this time.

coo! i wonder how returns/warranty works from there? the one thing i liked about ordering from NCIX is that if something went wrong i could drop it off

I have a general question, as I'm debating on my next monitor purchase which will determine the dollars I spend on a GPU(s) and I plan to purchase in the next few months once one of these products are released. I'm trying to decide whether 4k @ 60hz, or 1440p @ 120hz is better. It would seem that I would want GSync regardless (although I hope AMD's FreeSync gets some traction). I personally would like a 29" - 32" monitor, although I might go for 27". My current monitor is at 24", and is a bit old.

Right now, I play a mixture of games such as Skyrim, FFXIV: ARR, Wildstar, Borderlands 2 (& 3 when it comes out). I know with 4k I could probably turn the antialiasing off, while the 1440p would still need it.

Do you all think 4k @ 60hz or 1440p @ 120hz would provide the best benefit?

Edit: I originally considered an Oculus Rift (or other VR headset), but based on what I've read that still needs a generation or so before considering a purchase.

Honestly 4k gaming is just too much right now, unless you plan on getting the highest GPUS out there

3840x2160 = 8.2 megapixels you'd have to push out @ 60fps, vs 2560x1440 = 3.6 megapixels you'd have to push out @ 120fps

I disagree - 4K without AA shouldnt be ,much more demanding compared to 2560x1440 with AA.

to OP: If you are happy with quality of 4K monitors in your price range I would go for that.

i love that you disagree

we need more 4k benchmarks!

Could 4k owners/users chime in about their experience with 4k thus far? What do you think about your monitor size and DPI? Are you having issues with DPI scaling?

Mostly I use my 39" Seiki as a TV but when I use it as a monitor scaling is at 100% looks great to me for work.
