I've been wanting a new monitor. Ideally a large, high resolution, high refresh rate monitor. Everything I've read though has lead me to hold off for precisely that fact - interconnects are currently completely insufficient to handle that kind of data, so two of three is the best you can get. Big + 4k+ = terrible refresh rate, big + 120hz = low resolution.
Hacky solutions some models use like having the monitor pretend to be multiple monitors using multiple ports (as this Dell is apparently doing) have a number of issues AFAIK.
- sliverstorm 12y agoHDMI and TB are playing a bit of catchup, but I was under the impression DP can do it today.

In practice, no - every 4K+ monitor I'm aware of using DP uses the 2-monitor hack. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-4k-monitor-doesnt-exist/ http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-4k-monitor-doesnt-exis... Hopefully in a year things will have caught up some.
