I went originally with a 27 inch 4k and realized that I could get a 65 inch 4k tv for about double the price. I took back the monitor and have been completely happy with the tv. I mainly use it to play games. I would have been sold on a 30 4k but a 40 inch in my opinion is pushing tv size and thus my 65 inch is easier on the eyes. You would need to push it back a good 2 to 3 feet? I might mess with one at some point tho. Very nice price.

I agree with the TV sentiment, I just got a 4k 49in TV/Monitor, complete with HDMI 2.0 for well under 500$ New, I can't see going smaller for something that's just named a monitor rather than a TV. Completely blows away my old 39in 1080p TV in color, contrast, and of course, clarity.

I bought my Panasonic 58AX800 because it was the only TV offering displayport. I don't regret it and feel sad that TV cannot offer displayport with freesync. It is just such a bad decision...

Where can one purchase a BDM4065UC ? in USA? I can only find sites that import them and as a result the price is significantly higher then stated in this article.

110 DPI is too small. Way too small. With 40" viewing size, u will have to sit further away than u did with 27" which was already too small DPI for me.

This monitor can be purchased for $799 (free shipping) from Amazon.com

It's about time... This is an awesome 4K monitor for productivity, multimedia, design, development, and gaming (despite a few quirks). I purchased one from eBay (Korea) earlier this year and have never looked back on my old 30inch monitor that I had for 8 years. The extra screen real-estate is AMAZING. I'm looking forward to next-gen 50in+ 5K monitors for even MORE real estate - bring it on!

I ordered one off of amazon and just got it in the mail today. I can say my initial impression is that it is absolutely one of the best 4k monitors available. I'm all for IPS but VA contrast is second to none for a monitor.

I don't know much about the specs of TVs and monitors.
How does this compare to UHD TVs around the same size that is selling for about the same price or even less?

Haven't these been out for a few months now? Maybe only in Europe. I was thinking of buying one about a month ago to replace my 20-30-20 monitor set up but decided to hold out to see what new goodies we get when Thunderbolt 2 becomes readily available and hopefully g-sync gets incorporated into these 40" sets.
