Thanks a lot, gentlemen, for all your replies, much appreciated :thumbup:
My old monitor died in front of my eyes, so I had to rush out and quickly find a replacement.
I ended up buying the most modestly priced
27" 2560 x 1440 I could find, a
Dell UltraSharp U2713HM, just to have something acceptable while waiting for
the real thing, an affordable 4K screen.
Luckily it turned out that this cheap Dell screen is actually surprisingly good, obviously a brand new generation and thus visibly better than my old, far more expensive 30" Samsung 2560 x 1600 screen.
My only complaint is the
16:9 ratio, it's not quite the ideal ratio for photography presentation.
In that regard my old
16:10 ratio screen was clearly better suited for the purpose, but never mind.
Brad, your thread about your new
4K Dell UP2414Q 24" monitor is very interesting and encouraging.

It makes me believe that we will actually within the next few years see some more somewhat affordable 4K screens in different sizes.
I'm curious to know how the rather modest 24" size goes along with the new ultrahigh 3840 x 2160 resolution ?
I can easily imagine how sweet such a high resolution and pixel density works for photos.
But doesn't it mean that e.g. icons and letters get extremely small and difficult to see and read at all at that size-to-resolution ratio ?
In any case, interesting times for new, grand presentation possibilities.
