Until there is a single GPU option that will run your games at 4K / 60 Fps for around the £500 it would be best to wait it out.

Pretty much decided 4K monitors are too immature and problematic. Looking at 29" 21:9 now.
I am now holding out for a nice 34+" 21:9 monitor with a curved screen and DP 1.2a for free-sync.
One can dream
Either way, it's going to be better than what I have now (2x 22" 1680x1050) and this monitor is broken so I need a replacement. If I need more real estate I'll keep my additional 22" for a while and probably get a second 4k when they're around £300 in a year or two and I can get a GPU with 2 displayport outputs (it cant be that unreasonable!)

You do have more real estate if you're buying a bigger screen - I'm currently rocking a 24" 1920x1200 and the real estate is from the extra diagonal 4" even though you have to run it at 164% scale - the key is the higher pixel density.
Be nice to get an update from OC regarding why these monitors haven't shipped yet.

Does anyone at OcUK know when these will be delivered? I was hoping today since other suppliers got stock yesterday
I asked a little while back and was told as soon as they have an ETA the website will be updated. So my F5 key is getting pretty worn now
If I was these guys I'd be screaming at the shipping company - they must be losing business being the last to get delivery. I watched the stock of an Amazon marketplace seller flogging them at 750 quid going down extremely rapidly yesterday so..
Actually my boss was telling me last night to just cancel the order and get it from somewhere else, it's basically only years of decent service holding it together at the moment.

Mine too! Hopefully we'll get tracking numbers soon - gotta know when dat Haribo will get here
Mine is showing as "In our warehouse queue", but I was probably towards the end of the queue as I ordered mine a few days ago. *F5* *F5**F5**F5**F5**F5**F5*
Edit: Dispatched!! Do they deliver on saturdays unless you ask specifically for a saturday delivery?

I got mine on Saturday. It didn't want to show a picture at all initially, but I'm fairly sure that's because I'd swapped my AMD cards over to Nvidia ones and forgotten to uninstall the drivers beforehand. After correcting my blunder it's since worked fine! Perhaps it's a similar problem for you?
Hi no I always have NVidia GPU my second monitor with same issue could be firmware issue, random happen didn't want show picture at all even if I turn monitor off and on cant see asus logo just white blink and going black again, need keep monitor off little longer then it come back to life again: how it looks like http://youtu.be/zSFluBhW5RA

I think you and I are having the same problem, does your screen only black screen when set to display port 1.2? Mine is perfectly normal when set to dp 1.1 apart from being stuck a 30 Hz of course.
I suspect it might be driver issue and am trying to troubleshoot it atm.
I didn't test with 1.1 but 1.2 cause issue what king GPU you have? I hate when asus claims like that: JJ from ASUS We have tested “s” states without issues internally can you. You may want to update your drivers including your chipset and graphics driver. Additionally if you have your system overclock it can affect “s” states.
Running mine on 1.2 @30Hz the issue isn't 1.2 in and of itself - at 60hz it looks like there's serious signal issues somewhere in the chain. My assumption is the cable shipped with is junk (sure looks it) though at 10:30pm it's kinda hard to get a replacement 
That being said even uncalibrated it looks pretty nice even in Win 7 - the scaling issues aren't nearly as bad as I thought they'd be. Firefox seems to handle font scaling pretty well too.
