4K@1K

Dell have announced three 4K a.k.a Ultra HD monitors - that is, 3840x2160 - the UP2414Q at 24", the P2815Q at 28", and the UP3214Q at 32".  Pricing is $3499 for the 32", shipping now, $1399 for the 24", due before Christmas, and "less than $1000" for the 28", which will ship early next year.

The 24" and 32" models are professional-quality colour-calibrated displays, while the 28" appears to be a semi-pro model, though still probably an IPS or similarly high-quality panel.

I was going to replace my Dell 2711 this year but never got around to it, which has turned out to be fortuitous.  And the upgrade would have been minor; my Nexus 10 has more pixels on its 10" screen than any affordable desktop monitor - until now.  I will pounce on the P2815Q the moment it lands.

Legit Reviews have the press release, but it doesn't show on Dell's site yet.  The 32" monitor is listed, but the 24" model has fled to Belize.

1 What kind of display card can generate that graphic mode?

2 Steven, my video card (a GeForce 650 ti Boost) can do that at 24fps over HDMI and 60fps via DisplayPort, according to nVidia's site, and it's only a $170 card.

3 Yep, pretty much any card mid-range and up from the last two generations from AMD and Nvidia.  From AMD, any Radeon 7700 and up, and all the current R7 and R9 cards, and their A8 and A10 APUs (CPUs with integrated graphics).   From Nvidia, the GeForce 640 and up, and any 700-series card.  And current-generation Intel embedded graphics can do 4k@24fps.

How fast they can run games at 4k is another question, but I'm perfectly fine with dropping back to 1920x1080 for games.

4 I had no idea; I guess I'm out of touch.

6 I think you want the 3-dimensional GoChess forum.
