The more I think about it the more I want a 4K monitor.

I absolutely hate bezels, so multi-monitor is a no go for me. They totally break immersion. The 32" Sharp is the one to get. Just wish there was more competition.

Looks like people are starting to get the Sharp PN-K321 in North America. Hopefully someone will post a full review soon.

Gorgeous but it's fail that it can only run at 30hz at 4K unless you treat the monitor as two screens to split it in half and run each side at 30hz to get the full 60hz.

According to the hardforum link nvidia cards can't run two screen surround and only AMD cards can in crossfire.

Beautiful monitor but not worth it for gaming if you can't run it at native resolution above 30hz/30fps.... I'm wondering how this information was not available at purchase to that guy ?!? I would return it over that right away.

Basically, I wouldn't buy any 4K monitors until they support what will eventually be HDMI 2.0, though technically DisplayPort 1.2 should be able to run 4K @ 60Hz.

(Considerably) better graphics first, then 4K. Bad graphics in 4K is still bad graphics - especially at the tremendous performance impact. Boy what would games look like if you invested that performance into better effects, particles, polygons etc.
