It is available in the NL for as low as € 490 atm. Which kind of makes it a sweet deal, there aren't any other glossy 1440p screens available afaik.
Edit: In case you wondered why there is no word of colorspace coverage in the announcement, it is cause those specs aren't impressive in this case :p
AdobeRGB: 86%, sRGB: 116%, NTSC: 82%
