Dell recently announced their UP3218K monitor, not just something Ultra HD, it handles 8K Ultra HD at 7680x4320 pixels @ 60 Hz at 100% of the Adobe RGB- and sRGB color spaces. The pricing is confirmed at 4999 USD, the display is available now.

Dell: In 2015, they brought you the UltraSharp 34 Curved Monitor with its innovative curved display and the UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5K Monitor with its stunning 5K resolution – both CES Innovation Award Honorees. In 2016, we announced our first OLED Monitor and brought the innovative InfinityEdge technology, that debuted in 2015 on XPS 13, to the monitor portfolio. This year, they announced an extensive new lineup of innovative monitors, including the Dell UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD 8K.

The new UP3218K offers breakthrough realism with the finest details and color-critical performance for a truly transcendent visual experience thanks to Dell PremierColor, which offers 1.07 billion colors and 100 percent Adobe RGB and 100 percent sRGB, and an unprecedented 280 ppi to view most images in native format.

8K? On 32 inch? Useless.

And I don't buy this "media editing"... at 8K it is impossible to edit anything without using huge magnification, up to the point when visible "pixels" size is the same as on any 1080p screen.
And using 8K on 32 inch just to "appreciate" the final result is plain stupid, and actually still useless, because at such tiny pixels it is almost impossible to see the difference with smaller resolution version.
You can't just arbitrarily decide something is useless because you have decided that no one can see pixels at that resolution. 8K @ 32" is the same pixel density as 4K @ 16". I'm typing this response from a 4K @ 15.6" laptop and I can still see the pixels, quite clearly too. Lines are smoother than ever but aren't completely smooth, aliasing still exists. Take this up a notch or seven for color-critical, high-resolution photography work or content creation, and you'd probably want more than 8K at 32" even, right up until aliasing is truly invisible (not even 16K will do).

All that res and stuck at 60hz. I know we wont get near shifting pixels at a decent framerate on this for a while but to think itll still look like a juddering mess at its hz limit is a shame. This is not a gaming monitor.

60hz gaming is borderline peasantry in space year 2017 .
This is not a gaming monitor ... Not everything has to do with gaming.

Obviously this is a workstation monitor. What we gamers can get excited about is that this tech will eventually filter to the mainstream and then into the gaming arena with high framerates.

I can imagine this being great for those filmmakers running Red Epic 8k Cameras, I have built few workstations recently for filmmakers needing a system to drive 8k footage, Monitor like this would go hand in hand.
