Imo too small for 4k. This size is more appropriate for 1440p.

Hilbert... A little booboo in the text: 51000 Yen is about 483.38 dollar. Not 4992 dollar. 😉

27 - 32 inch for 4k is what I'm after with 144Hz and some kind of Freesync motion blur reduction system. Perhaps in some form panel that improves on the failings of current IPS ones. OLED is way to expensive....
Personally I can extremely easily see detail and would find 4k in a 27" panel to still be lacking in an ideal world, even if still very nice compared to the shameful 1080 panels @ 60Hz we have been subjected to for so long.
- (I've been holding out for an ideal panel too long now lol )
Probably going to buy a stop gap 1440 144Hz IPS panel in the next day or so, then hope for a really nice release next year maybe with good Quantum Dot tech included.

18mm bezels? Technology appears to be regressing where display housing is concerned.
We should be seeing 8mm bezels. 🙁

The table says one HDMI port but the text below the table says two HDMI ports.

I had a 24 inch 4k Monitor for a few days and it was so borderline for me that i send it back... basically, if i sat upright i could read any text unscaled at about 28 inch distance to the monitor, if i was in comfy position about 2-4 inches further away i couldn't anymore.
In these days i researched and tested away and i came to an easy conclusion, a perfect, easy to remember rule of thumb: if ya got the average 20/15 vision, then take your usual distance to your monitor and that's the size of 4k monitor you want.
I came to this conclusion when i stumpled upon an article on Pugetsystems named "Can you see the difference with a 4K monitor?", which has a decent enough scientific explanation including formulas and a google spreadsheet to play around with. Of course my conclusion came in combination with trying working programs, browsing the internet, watching movies and playing games. I could apply the theoretical in praxis.
So in short, i agree with Anarion and this Monitor at 27 inches is good for people with a slim desk (~28 inch distance to monitor) like i got.

It's nearly useless on a phone screen but I have to say 4K is fantastic for PC. All of the native windows based text looks amazingly crisp. Viewing the internet is really nice, many pictures (on main webpages I browse) are much higher resolution than I'd realized. The games that play well and scale up look really great and you don't need heavy AA.
There are growing pains though. Some games still aren't scaling the interface properly so you can end up with some amazingly small text. I'm using a 43" 4KTV about 2 feet from my face. I can't imagine what using a 27" 4K monitor would be like for those text/interface issues.
As far as crisp graphics though, 4K is ridiculously sharp compared to 1080p and that would look amazing on a 27" (if everything else scaled properly).

I can easily see the pixels on my Asus 24" 1080p screen.
I think up to 32" would be good for UHD.
I think this would be great, but i'm looking for 10bit colour support for my next monitor.
I can agree that it might be a tad squinty, but then where are the complaints about a mobile phone having anything over 720/1080p ?
I call 1080p (and up) on a 5" screen crazy 🙂
