The price is good but would the monitor be any good?
Apparently it's a PITA to get a 4K monitor going but this is a mostly solved problem (according to an LCA2015 lecture). Of course that means it probably won't work on Debian/Wheezy etc, but anyone who's happy to run Debian/Unstable, Rawhide, etc and get a new video card should be able to get this going.
Good brightness, just reasonable viewing angles and this not so good: HDMI/DVI-D up to 3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz But this is okay with DisplayPort (not sure which version though) : DP up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz (non-interlaced) I think you really want 60Hz ..... but perhaps that is a non-issue unless you are a gamer, just the same, there is always good reason when a monitor looks to be "good value", you get what you pay for. Maybe you can't even get 60Hz on HDMI/DVI-D, so maybe that's a non-issue with it being supported with DisplayPort. For viewing angles, I aim for 170+ for both horizontal and vertical, usually 178 for both. 170/160 isn't bad, but it isn't as good as 178/178. Cheers A.
