I'm OK with 30fps/Hz for the 4K... SO LONG AS if you feed it a 1K signal (ie 1920x1080 input)), it can scale it and maintain 60fps+/Hz to deliver decent video and game play. The 4K can be for "productivity" applications, and the 1K for gaming.
It also has a 1ms G2G response time which is phenomenally good for something like this.
It needs DP 1.2a to do that resolution though.
but for that price? 2K? nah. I'll pass. in few months where alot of the manufacturers will develop 4K monitors, price will drop significantly. :)
This monitor is 2K vertically and 4K Horizontally. This monitor is classed as 4K like all other 4K TV and displays it's not actually 4000p in any way.
This product is 4K and is the cheapest product to be announced as of yet, RRP in Australia is $999.

Originally 4K is 4096 × 2160 17.1:9(1.9:1) for cinemas, 3840 × 2160 is 16:9(1.78:1) for consumers.

Unfortuantely, it is worthless for serious gaming... What is never mentioned in the information is the > 100ms input lag. This makes it display with a delay of over 6 frames... It is nearly impossible to use for action games.
For work, yes, by all means.
For games? The input lag has completely nullified any benefit of response time.
For graphics? Only if you don't mind TN's inherent weaknesses.
