I was a little floored by the Seiki price drop. When it happened, I Tweeted at Seiki to ask if this is a precursor to a replacement unit that functions more as a monitor (60Hz, HDMI 2, no splash screen, DPMI on, no speakers, matte surface). That's wishful thinking, of course. The tweet was mostly just to put the demand in front of them. :)

Incidentally, my review of my wife's Seiki: http://tiamat.tsotech.com/seiki-4k

4K at 24" is really interesting, however. Not necessarily because I want to use a small monitor again, but rather because it's a sign that we are slowly inching toward high-DPI large form-factor displays. And I've been waiting for that to happen for a decade.

Next would be extending that pixel density to 30" (~6K) and larger (~8K). Then I will celebrate a bit.



Off-topic but thanks for the noscript message.
