Staples is running a special on Dell S2817Q 28" 4K displays until tomorrow (2/24). Price is $259, down from regular $499. I picked up 2 and they fired right up on my MP5,1 with MSI R9 280X. The displays came with everything, including a 6' USB 3.0 A to B cables for the built in 2 port USB 3.0 hub as well as 6' DP to mDP and HDMI cables. These monitors are replacing 2 ASUS PB278Q 27" 2560x1440 monitors. It's taking a little getting use to with the small text on the desktop, but I'll adapt.

Sorry. I've got an R9 280x that doesn't have EFI in it so it's showing up as HD 7xxx, but it is an R9.

Under the ‘Display’ tab, hold down the OPTION / ALT key while you press on the ‘Scaled’ button alongside Resolution to reveal all available screen resolution options for the display. These will be in HiDPI mode wince you have a 4K display and you won't have to strain your eyes so much.
