Yeah, 4k is still a more emerging technology, might be a while before we lesser loaded beings are able to readily survey it.

Here you go, a link you can have: https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors_Projectors/PQ321Q

Dell will be coming out with their own 4k monitor, but from what I read, the price tag is going to be higher than that Asus.
Can you lend me £2,879.87?
:shock: I can imagine playing Emulators on that screen at full HD

Beware, the higher the resolution the worse low resolution picture will look on it. If you still want to play retro then stay away from a 4K monitor.

@OCG, I cannot only imagine it, I see it myself!

There are always filters on Emulators to make game look good. Wouldn't that work for huge monitors too?

Too bad it isn't a CRT, or you wouldn't have such issue. My 24" Sony CRT will do 1920 x 1200 any day, and look fantastic at MS-DOS game resolutions. :)

I can imagine playing a PS2 game at 6x native on a monitor like that. It would look much like the "hd" remakes that companies mostly make, probably.

There has been no evidence of it being able to, that I see of. A lot of people do it at OCN with out issues.

However, on windows desktop screen, there were frame skipping occurrences, but in full screen games there weren't any.
