Lenovo 28" 4K 60Hz display $799 - announced at CES 2014

Although this is not a low-motion-blur display, it is noteworthy as the first 4K 60Hz monitor I know of for under $1000.

Holy price points Batman! I love Lenovo and they continue to make a name for themselves. I have a Lenovo 2560x1440 A730 machine that also does 10-touch-points. They are out front with this machine as well.

28" is a great size for 4k in my book.

But NV have confirmed that the G-Sync board is already 4k-compatible, if memory serves correct. I'd only get a non-G-Sync screen like this for an office environment

28" should be the very minimum size of a 4K "productivity" desktop monitor in my opinion; at least for anyone who doesn't have perfect 20/10 vision. 8 pt and smaller fonts appear incredibly smaller in 4K resolution, 1/4 the size of a 1080p monitor of similar size.

It would be interesting if cirthix or someone else here, mods it to do GSYNC.

GSYNC's does huge wonders to 40-50fps material (makes those framerate stutterfree). Although I saw benefit in GSYNC framerates all the way up to triple-digit framerates, I really noticed that 47fps GSYNC'd looked better than 75fps(at a non-75Hz refresh rate) non-GSYNC'd to my eyes. There was more motion blur, but there was zero erratic stutters. For triple digit framerates, I prefer strobed, but if I had to endure double-digit framerates, GSYNC does wonders for cleaning up the artifacts I hate (tearing, stutters).

So it will fit right in there, in a 4K monitor -- especially if they also avoid GSYNC repeat-refresh all the way down to under 15fps.
