The ones I've seen so far that handle 4k video are pretty pricey ($200 and way up). I don't need this for gaming, so I'd rather go a cheaper route. If I was stuck on getting 4k, I could get 4 HD monitors and one more cheap video card to achieve the same effect using the nVidia drivers (and that should work, according to xrandr), but that's too clunky and the XFCE window manager might not handle that too well (doesn't with only 2 screens). It would also take a video player that handles 4 HD screens as one. I'm probably going to hold off for a while. Prices always come down.
