Sharp Unveils 32-inch IGZO 4K Professional Monitor
Sharp unveiled the much awaited proof of pudding for the IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) LCD panel technology. IGZO acts as a superior substrate material to amorphous silicon, thanks to higher electron mobility, and lets you achieve either higher pixel density, or faster response times. Sharp chose the former, and launched the PN-K321. This 32-inch professional desktop/workstation monitor packs a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. To draw those many pixels from its source, it relies on DisplayPort, although HDMI is also available. It is priced at the equivalent of US $5,500, and could be unveiled stateside at CES 2013 (January).

I still think 4K should mean 4### x ####Haha me too $500 mill would be nice, I never play, but I'm gonna give it a try.
I guess any news about higher resolutions is good news though.
well the price is madness
But man this requires some serious Gs.
Edit: I don't expect AMD Sea Islands or nVidia Kepler refresh is anything close to powerful enough to power these resolutions, and clogging 3-4 GPUs togheter is no realistic option, especially not for the average gamer (or other consumer types that need better resolutions with a passion).
But Volcanic Islands and Maxwell hopefully will be built with scaling with high-resolutions (and filtering at the same time) in mind.
$5000 is just a bargain. If it has great color properties, it'll rock.
finally!
:respect: 4k
Love to see it with 32" too. Perfect size!
yes the price is high, but it will surely go down and down and down and down, and then i'll buy one.
Actually i'll only buy one with real 120hz. Enough of 60hz. Fuck this shit, i want hard core now :rockout:
27/30Inch should be 4096 x 2304 pixels now that will be something worth.
21.5/22Inch should be 2560 x 1440 pixels
19/20Inch should be 2048 x 1152 pixels
15/16/17Inch should be 1920 x 1080 pixels
This is the kind of future i would like to see and with affordable prices like current monitors.
Make it $550 and you've got a deal! :D
