60Hz at most, any higher is impractical on 4K at the moment.
Seiki has also announced a new 4k monitor option. We reviewed the company’s 39-inch model last month and were very fond of it, especially its affordable price. We even told you how to build a Hackintosh capable of powering it. Now, Seiki says its new 28-inch monitor will be even cheaper than its 39-inch option, which currently goes for $499.99 on Amazon. Seiki’s 28-inch model will pack three HDMI ports, one VGA input, and a composite input. Seiki hasn’t officially announced a release date, though they told us sometime in the first half of this year.
At the price, i wouldn't be surprised it this was a TN Film based model (which i also expect the Dell P2815Q to be), but we will have to wait and see. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised!

IPS panel with 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB coverage and 178/178 degree viewing angles, an 8 ms GTG response time, a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 (dynamic contrast ratio is 2,000,000:1), a media card reader, a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, HDMI, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort inputs, and a stand enabling tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment (NOT CONFIRMED)
$2000 less than any competitor, can just imagine what the build quality is like.

In a bid to make its 28” Ultra HD monitor (model P2815Q) more affordable compared to premium devices aimed at professionals, Dell had to use a TN panel and lower-cost electronics inside its display. As a result, while the P2815Q supports 3840*2160 resolution, it does so only with 30Hz refresh rate, which is enough for movies and productivity applications. By contrast, gamers demand higher refresh rate (i.e., 60Hz) which is only supported in 1920*1080 resolution by the P2815Q.
Yeah you're right
"However, when displaying 4K content via an HDMI 1.4 port the refresh rate is limited to 30 Hz, so until an HDMI 2.0 update is released, you're better off using the DisplayPort."
I presume they mean a hardware update/refresh to HDMI2.0.
But dell can claim the highest DPI desktop monitor we've seen for years so we can't be too critical and you can get 60Hz out the DisplayPort
