So something like BenQ ST550K then? http://www.benq.se/product/DigitalSignage/st550k/specifications http://www.benq.se/product/DigitalSignage/st550k/specificati... Or the Philips BDM4065UC but with more HDMI ports? http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/philips_bdm4065uc.htm http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/philips_bdm4065uc.htm

As an owner of the Philips-- It's really a top notch panel. I do lots web development and plenty of gaming, the extra pixels and size really are a joy to work with. Highly recommend.

Philips is too small and BenQ too expensive (and no stand). Any others?

  Too small? At what distance is this? Sorry, those are the only sane monitors I've seen at an interesting size with UHD or true 4k resolution.

    Clearly then you didn't read the article, or even the title. It isn't about monitors but rather TVs. 40" is too small for a 4K TV. $1800 is to expensive.

      I'd rather say the article being about wishing that TVs were pure monitors but with an IR sensor and more inputs than a generic monitor. 40" is certainly not too small for any home I've lived in or visited. Besides, the article itself asked for monitors in the range 40" to 60". As for the Benq, the most expensive price around here translates to about 1400USD. Granted, that's still ~50% more than the asked for 1000USD but that's most likely due to a lack of demand. If you want a TV that follows the rest of the spec (UHD, >=40", <1000USD, >=4HDMI CEC) then, sadly, it seems like you'll have to live with the woe of a "Smart TV", with its complex remote, such as the Philips 55PUT6400 55" 60Hz (~918USD converted price): http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/55PUT6400_12/6000-series-4k-uhd-slim-led-tv-powered-by-androidtm-with-pixel-plus-ultra-hd/specifications http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/55PUT6400_12/6000-series-4k-uhd...

The BenQ you linked to runs Android. Not quite what the article described.

  True, I missed that. But then I wouldn't expect a monitor targeted at being used as an in-store display to be heavy on apps or slow to switch input. There might be an issue in the boot-up though.

i bought myself one of those philips monitors this week, and i'm loving it so far. unfortunately my early 2013 macbook pro can't drive it at 60hz, since that was only added in late 2013. Guess it's a good time to upgrade anyway.
