** HERE COME ASUS WITH THEIR 4K 28" OFFERING!! **

Just to add that it I was used to using a Dell U3011 IPS for the past few years so have become very used to excellent IQ. For those who are used to TN then this screen will be more of the same as far as IQ goes.
 
So this supports 60hz without having to combine 2 images and has a better stand while having the same panel as the Samsung, might be worth the extra?

The Samsung monitor also uses one single screen and does not combine two images. The problem with the Samsung is the stand and the lack of VESA mounting holes. The AOC has VESA and a better stand.

Musta been looking at the wrong screen, just not sure if the extra ton in price makes it that much better with a more adjustable stand.

Wow, Techreport have seriously lost a lot of credibility with me for their monitor reviews. If this guy could barely see any colour shift problems on this monitor he needs his eyes tested.

Right on startup I noticed the seriously washed out colours and colour variations all over the screen. 4K for games is very sharp and if you are used to TN then it is a massive improvement. If you are used to IPS be aware you are taking a substantial hit in IQ.

I ended up going back to one of the more affordable 2560x1440 IPS AOC monitors and the difference in colour accuracy is very noticeable.

That's disappointing to hear.
 
After much deliberation I think I'm going to have to go for the Asus. It's £100 more but I tend to keep monitors for a long time (I'm on a 7 year old Samsung 226bw at the moment) and it's the only one with a proper stand and a nice bezel.

Any idea when these will be back in stock? :)
 
The ETA when I pre-ordered was May 30th, so I'm hoping soon!

I am a bit concerned with all the problems people seem to have with it, particularly the drop in quality compared to IPS as that's what my current main monitor is.

I'll post here if it ever arrives and give my impressions compared to my Dell U2713HM.

I also ordered when it said 30/05/2014, its been changing to a similar date as what e buyer had. e buyer atm says they are expecting it on 10/06/2014 so hopefully OcUK will get it at the same time if not before.
 
gotta say apart from the whole signal cutting off thing (ocuk couldn't find a problem with mine but on all my pc's i can so meh and still not sent it back to asus i am kinda hoping someone figures out a fix) gaming on this is an absolute dream. It's the biggest change i have made to my gaming rig in years. Sure if your looking for using it for professional editing etc or are really fussy about accurate colours this isn't the monitor for you. But then again no TN monitor is. Gaming wise this is hands down better than my eyefinity setup.

This may be a very vague shot in the park, I was having similar problems with my new Samsung 4k monitor and alerted to this thread - wasn't having the popping issues but I was having basically signal loss for 0.1 second black screen flicker and then all back to normal - my current open windows would resize, the Monitor was basically acting like I'd changed the resolution / unplugged the cable for a microsecond, using windows 8.1 and AMD 14.4 (though understand its happening on nVidia cards too).

It may be shear coincidence, but I haven't actually encountered this issue since scaling back my RAM overclock, at first I thought I was my GPU overclock, but I wasn't getting the "AMD Display has stopped responding."

Hope something is resolved for you all, hardware or software, because this resolution is outstanding!
 
The thing I'd point out with the black screen is that 4k @60hz is right on the bandwidth capability of current DP versions. Stick it at 30hz and see if you have the same issue maybe? If it is it could be a cable quality issue.

Mine worked fine at 30Hz and I tried multiple DP cables all with the same problem.
 
Actually I'm hoping the real estate will enable me to ditch my dual monitor setup for work. I don't do much gaming these days. As long as I can run WoW at 1440p I'll be happy. I'm currently on a 750ti.

I run ArchLinux mostly, I'll post some screenshots of KDE at 4k :) (although apparently High DPI support is being vastly improved in the next release in July)
