Man I wish there was a 40 - 42" version of this screen(or similar) and affordable if its existed or if this tech would eventually make its way to HDTVs.
Forget HDR, I would rather have fast response times and real 120 refresh rates in HDTVs, that be so cool.

Pretty sweet display. I have Asus MX239H and it has been a great display (and is 75Hz capable). If only they would release 4K displays with 75Hz support... DP1.2 would be enough to handle that.
