Affortable Ultra HD Monitors? AU Want it to Happen!

[HaZardousLP]

I thought AU meant Australia and I was confused because we seemingly don't understand what that means...

 

 

'Affordable' 4k monitors is a great step forward though, the more companies that push the price of 4k down until it speeds up the adoption which leads to better graphics improvements (let's face it, not gonna happen just yet at this rate nvidia) can only be a good thing.

This is pretty awesome. I would love to have a 4k 23 or 24 inch monitor.

AU Optronic a Display panel maker, that I just heard of is working on Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) panels and promises "affordable" 27-inch and 32-inch monitors beaming those many pixels by Q1 or Q2, 2014. This may make 4k more cheaper because AU Optronic supplies LCD panels to a variety of monitor manufacturers, including ASUS, BenQ, Philips, and even Samsung. AFFORDABLE 4k IS HAPPENING!

Display panel maker AU Optronics, which supplies LCD panels to major monitor and TV manufacturers, is reportedly working on bringing Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) panels into the mainstream, and promises "affordable" 27-inch and 32-inch monitors beaming those many pixels by Q1 or Q2, 2014. AU Optronics, or AUO as it's known in the industry, supplies LCD panels to a variety of monitor manufacturers, including ASUS, BenQ, Philips, and even Samsung (which also makes its own high-end panels). Among the two panels AUO is working on, one offers sRGB gamut with Adobe RGB gamut coverage; both will be able to reproduce 10-bit with dithering.

[Torand]

'Affordable' - although its cheap, they always have to make cut backs somewhere -it's where that is the issue.

[atomicmonkey101]

24" and 27" is what I want.

[joelthezombie15]

How affordable is affordable? 

[TopWargamer]

For 4K, I'd consider affordable to be $1000 or less, but that's only if the actual monitor or TV is good.

[piplupgao]

If they can make 5in 1080p phones what can't they make 23in 4k monitors?

[Kilerbomb]

How affordable is affordable? 

Instead of having to sell your kidney, now you'll only have to sell your gallbladder.

OH! thats doable.

[ACatWithThumbs]

Yes please I need a 32" 4K monitor.
I have an 32" 1080p monitor and it's only 64ppi

That would fit perfectly for next Year I could get a 4K monitor together with Maxwell
(Or maybe I'll wait for 4K with G-sync)

[FellTheSky]

idk...

how much diferent is to play at 4k no AA, than 1080p x8AA/1440px4aa

[totjup5]

I really want a 4k 24" monitor, but then my graphics cards would sh*t themselves anyway, so it's irrelevant for me at least for now.
