Phillips BDM4350UC 43"

That is just a (rather crazy) MSRP. The street price will be closer to £700-800 inc. VAT initially, if that ($800 in the US). I'll be reviewing this very shortly as one is on the way to me.

Look forward to it. Hopefully it's not hazy/grainy like most 4K IPS monitors i've tried recently. The 27" Acer S277HK was the first one I owned and was quite frankly a disgrace at angles. Far too grainy looking when viewed against a white background.

What you describe sounds like something that would be affected by a matte screen surface. The 27" '4K' UHD IPS-type models I've tested are really not good at all in that respect. But this model has a 1% haze (glossy) screen surface, fairly similar to the BDM4065UC so that won't be an issue.

Indeed. I'd never experienced on all my previous IPS screens at 1080 (between 21"-23", so although the picture quality did look excellent in 4K (albeit far too small), it came as a bit of shock seeing the grains all on it. I contacted Acer at the time as I thought it was a monitor fault, and they tried to make me go through so many hoops to send it back that I just gave the monitor to my old man, been looking for a new monitor since.

Thanks, think I'm going to wait till next year then when the 1080ti are out.

You'd be absolutely fine with 2x Titan Blacks on a 4K screen for the next 12 months, just don't try to use Ultra in every game, you get minimal gains IMO. The resolution is more important to me.

For doing anything else other than gaming you can even get away with using Intel graphics with a 4K monitor.
