4K Monitor Sucks!

[Pressure]

Just a heads-up but when you take pictures with your iPhone 5S, you should probably disable location services so the latitude and longitude of your location isn't in the EXIF data in your pictures.

Wow, I never thought of that myself. Good tip.

The NEC is a professional tool for a specific purpose.

Exactly.

What is it that you're actually looking for in a display?

Most of the 4K displays available right now are the wrong size for how OS X handles scaling - only rendering at 1x or 2x, when Windows lets you choose between 100%, 125%, 150%, and 200%. (125/150% being the best options for your Sharp display)
Ideally a 4K monitor would be either 22″ (1080p HiDPI mode) or 44″ (3840x2160) for OS X.

If you're wanting a lot of workspace, something like Panasonic's TC-L65WT600 might be more suited.
It's a bit larger than ideal, and at ~70 PPI items will be roughly the same physical size as HiDPI mode on your Sharp display. You would have to sit further from it, so that would probably be a good thing.

The problem is that 4K is mostly limited to either 30Hz, or 60Hz with reduced color resolution (4:2:0 color on Sony's latest displays) on the larger displays right now, and this is one of the few options which will do full resolution 4K at 60Hz for a reasonable price.

Impressive setup, is it a TV or a Monitor?!

I have the 84 Inch LG 4K but it's only 30Hz at 4K.

Technically a television, but the lines between televisions and monitors have become very blurred in recent years.
When it supports 4K at 60Hz over HDMI or DisplayPort, what's the difference? You just have to put it in the "PC mode" or disable the image processing (not sure what it's called on Panasonic displays) so that it's suitable as a monitor.
I have been using a 46" 1080p Sony "television" as a monitor for years.

Don't your eyes hurt sitting that damn close?!

That's not my setup - I sit about 4-5ft back, as my screen is mounted on the wall and the keyboard & mouse is on an arm that pulls out from the desk, so I have no problems with the size.

Having a big screen that you can sit at a distance from is really nice compared to sitting at a desk up close to a small monitor.
