After i googled for that Samsund i looked around what Dell had. 
Well, they have that ~us$3000 28" UHD that i think you referenced in the first post, but also a 24" that is much more reasonable priced, a bit pricer than the TN panel Samsung, but its IPS and 100% sRGB, so looks very nice, its ofcourse smaller so the pixels will be very tiny.

With Lightroom being dpi scale aware on windows (and hopefully the rest of Adobe apps in the not too far future) it might be something i will consider for my lightroom editing at home, the photos will look amazingly sharp. The price is about the price i gave for my current 10year old 4:3 1600x1200 LCD i have at home, even less taking inflation into account, so not that bad. 


Maybe another option for some to consider, well maybe not for AE, those pixeltight texts in the UI will get small :-D

But Scott, please keep us posted on what your experience after some longer use are on the Samsung

Robert, I will be the first to say it isn't a reference monitor but any means.  When I do some more advanced calibration I will report back.  I can say that it is a fairly decent display though just by sight calibration.  I'm just impressed that it is the first UHD display that does true 60Hz in that price range and isn't junk! :)  Even more impressed my lowly tower mac pro will drive it at 60Hz.

After using it has a desktop monitor, I would not want a UHD display that is any smaller.  The type is pretty small, but nice to have that much real-estate!

hmmm... just did a google on this model, and it says its a TN panel and not IPS, so i would definately not recommend it for anything colorwise.


But nice to see UHD monitors getting down in price, but it will take a little while longer to get IPS or similar quality UHD panels down in price.
