Hey guys - I just put my votes in - hoping this goes well. While we wait, you should checkout/vote for the monitor arm that I just put up... this is essential for any clean battlestation. Help me bring this to the Massdrop community!

Update Time!
Just spoke with Dell again. It looks like they'll be able to offer something on the 28" Ultra HD. The MOQ will probably be fairly high (~100 units) but, on preliminary estimates, they should cost less than $600 shipped to your American door step.
There's one catch, these monitors have a lead time for delivery of 3-5 weeks.
Either way, we're going to keep working on options for you guys but this this looks pretty promising. Let me know what you think and we can get this listed : )
I've tried working in my monitor while forcing it to work @ 24Hz
It's not the greatest experience in the world, I wouldn't play or watch videos in it, but it works just fine for mostly static content (i.e. scrolling text).
Update Time:
Seiki: We're speaking with a couple people and hopefully we'll have more to report soon. Their main concern is the existing cost of production and low retail cost. They're not sure if there's enough margin in the product for a Massdrop but we'll let you know as soon as we can.
Dell: Waiting on a response with more information but they have the same concerns as above.
Asus: They are not interested in working with the group at this time.
Additionally, we're in contact with Changhong, another 4k display manufacturer. We're working on the logistics (shipping 4k displays is challenging) but hopefully we'll have some price information to release soon.
We'l let you know as more information becomes available.
Dell lowered the price of it's 4k display to $560, but it's still only 28" while the Seiki is 39" for $500. Dell probably offers a better warranty though and it has Mini Display Port, while the Seiki only HDMI.
I wrote "for Programming", because I don't need great colors, contrast, brightness, TV, low latency, fast refresh rate, etc… I just need more pixels to put code on.
