I haven't tried the 28" monitor because it suffers from the 30hz problem as well, so instead I got the 24" Ultrasharp (~$200 more on amazon) and it's amazing. It supports DisplayPort 1.2 so it can do 60hz. It supports HDMI as well, but not the newer version so you are limited to 30hz if you want to use HDMI. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HALPPM0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HALPPM0&linkCode=as2&tag=diaryofamadma-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HALPPM0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...

Question for folks who have 4k resolution on a smaller screen (like 28"). Isn't most text (like text on websites) IMPOSSIBLY SMALL to read? My laptop has 1080p res and is 15 inches, and my goodness I can't read anything without Ctrl +'ing in Chrome until things are at least scaled at 125% (I generally use the web at 150% though). 15 * 4 = 60... (as 1080p * 4 ~= 4k), that means I'd need easily 80+ inch screen to be using 4k screens. How in the heck would you deal with things with 4k on a 28" screen?

  I actually run mine at 1920 x 1080 @ 2x so that everything is super crisp. I have a retina macbook and it was just painful looking at my other monitors.

    But now you have less content on screen than a 27" monitor.

    Wouldn't a 1920 x 1080 display of the same size be more suitable then?

      He can still individually address all the pixels, but targets each "pixel" to be 4 physical pixels. If the software can deal with that, like web browsers can, then you get twice as much clarity. (Try turning Chrome up to 200% default zoom. You'll notice that most websites ship assets that individually address every pixel in this new configuration. Things are the same physical size as they would be on a panel with half the resolution, but with twice the clarity. It's quite nice, even for programming.)

  You don't need to increase the screen size, but the font size/dpi setting.
