  I know it is a break from the $100 budget but a 4k (3840x2160) monitor is almost a necessity for me right now. I have two Seiki 39" each of which has replaced four 21" monitors.

    I just bought Dell's UP2414Q, a 24" UHD display. Never going back.

      This is the one (or two, if you have the desk space).

    Thoughts on the 50 inch version as a monitor? http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-Inch-Ultra/dp/B00DOPGO2G http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-Inch-Ultra/d...

        If you like larger copy on your workstations 50" may work really well it equates to roughly four 25" monitors in a two by two setup. I found the 50" version a little too large for my purposes I have my monitor wall mounted about 3ft in front of my face and 50" would create the Wimbledon effect.

Just bought this HP 27" 2560x1440 IPS LED one for $450, and it's changed my life! It has much higher contrast than my last monitor, as well as every other monitor I've seen. Note they also have it used for $350. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/828572-REG/HP_Hewlett_Packard_XW476A8_ABA_ZR2740W_27inch_LED_Backlit.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/828572-REG/HP_Hewlett_...

  With that resolution have you had any problems with text being too small and with adjusting DPI settings?

    Yes, I hooked it up to my Win7 gaming rig, and had to turn interface scaling to 125% and zoom in on most web pages. It works well, and font rendering is drastically improved.
