The prices of 4K monitors need to drop drastically before I even consider buying one. Just looked for one and while those quad-HD screens at 3840x2160 may be within reach, true 4K at 4.096 x 2.160 or even 4096x2304 range way beyond €20K.

Even Apple is having problem with 4K monitors.

And don't forget the new graphic card that will be needed also.

And then there is the typical standard or "who will win war": http://nofilmschool.com/2014/01/googles-vp9-gets-hardware-support-poised-to-be-the-dominant-4k-streaming-codec/

Using at Atari 800 style game to show the quality of any codex is next to worthless. The game capture is inherently full of jerks and noise. They need to get a great high quality film to show smoothness, flicker free and noise / artifact free capability. Heck even a good modern reality first person war game would be a better example.

mark, if you are zoomed in to 75% you are looking at 1/4 of the picture, so you are seeing pixel per pixel (if you have a 1920x1080 monitor). I don't think monitors are the issue.

What do you think it is then?

I'm trying to find an article I read yesterday on why there is grain or noise on 4K footage viewed on an HD monitor. It was something like' unless your video cards down-scales the 4K pixels but tries to display four times the HD amount it basically "crushes" the "pixels" causing a mottle grainy noise appearance. I'll keep looking for the article.
