I'm looking at options for upgrading to 4k on my desktop but it seems like a minefield out there. I definitely want a panel that can drive 60Hz via a single stream (not MTS, or dual-dual DVI).<p>Key features I'm after:<p>- Single stream @ 60Hz (I think that means Display Port 1.2 or HDMI 2.0)<p>- 28-32" panel<p>- Good colour reproduction / fast response<p>- VESA mountable<p>- Ideally something I can also hook up to a current generation Macbook Pro Retina and get 4K @ 60Hz too<p>- A suitable desktop GPU to go with it (my preference is NVidia)<p>- I mix between Windows 7/Ubuntu/Mac OSX<p>- I'm also quite interested in NVidia G-Sync - but it's not a deal breaker<p>My budget is ~£1000GBP for one panel and GPU, I'd probably like to add a second panel in the near future.<p>For reference my current setup is a 460GTX with two Dell Ultrasharp U2713H monitors, and I'd like something of similar quality.<p>It seems like right now the manufacturers and vendors are making it harder than it needs to be to get the full information you need - often the inputs are listed without versions, and use of MST isn't mentioned at all.<p>I guess I'm looking for advice really - what other people are using and enjoying. One that is potentially standing out is the Acer Predator 4k2k XB280HK 28".
I'm currently using the Seiki 39inch 4k. 30Hz, but great for coding/browsing; probably no good for graphics work (bad color reproduction) or games (30Hz).<p>It is very inexpensive, so I think of it as a one or two year "rental", until the 4K market matures. I enjoy the huge screen real estate, although I find it best with a tiling window manager.
