The best 4K monitor doesn’t exist yet

I gave in and bought one of the Seiki 4K 39" displays for $330 over the weekend -- it's far from ideal, but it's $330. I'm sure I can resell it for >$200 when I get something better in a few months or a year, but it's an entirely serviceable monitor.

(The $330 deal was a $399 TigerDirect with a $70 MIR, free shipping, no CA tax. Ended Monday, but I'm sure it will return.)

I have one of those too, and for the price I've been very happy with it. My only real objection is the amount lag, but it's only really noticeable when web browsing, and even then it's just a little annoying at first.

In case you haven't already, make sure to turn the sharpness and noise cancellation down. It'll make it look a lot better. Also, if you look online, there are other firmware versions you can flash to speed it up.

i have one too. The problem I have with it is that its just too much screen real estate, horz and vertical together. I would have preferred one of those ultra wide monitors instead.
