    Maybe they will put HDMI as video input on new 4K Cinema Display, next to Thunderbolt as Ui input. With proper calibration loop and HDMI 2 support, they can offer fully rounded video editing environment – hardware, software and monitoring 🙂

    Some fairly positive reviews for this as a desktop monitor:

    Anyone done anything like this on the PC side? I’d love a giant single display instead of my current dual 24″ (assuming it wouldn’t ruin my eyesight and emissions were clean).

    I predict a Retina 30″ display from Apple with has “4k” resolution sometime in December.

    It will launch with the MacPro, and the new ProApps wad of apps.

    It will have a small breakout box built in with audio, USB3, ethernet, and a TBolt2 passthrough.

    Yeah, this does look pretty great playing back Red footage from an Ultrastudio 4K. There is a hack that enables the retina settings in the displays preferences. It would be interesting to see what it would look like. The price is right.

    I have been thinking about getting the 39″ Seiki to use to replace my aging or poorly performing 30″ ACD, but obviously just as an interface monitor. I have read Amazon reviews that like it, but say it’s not as good as an IPS monitor.

    Also has anyone seen the Samsung OLED 55″ display? It’s 9 grand but I want one! Best display I have ever seen, even better than true 4K displays. I’m hoping in 2 years they’re around $3500 – I’d buy at that price.

    No way am I paying that extra 50 cents.

    Have you considered the Blackmagic Design Production Camera, Mark? Not yet shipping but will be by the time we save for these unnecessary and inevitable expenses.
