    Wowsers, I bet no consumer level GPU could run a DirectX game with that high rez. In 24 years monitors like this one would be $100USD. But the mostly lifetime warranty is convincing.

    That 24 year warranty must be a typo.

    People run muti-monitor setups with similar resolutions so I don't see why a high-end GPU couldn't game on this.

    I thought consumer level GPUs couldn't handle a single display's rez above 2600x1600? Multiple monitors is a different story.

    running a game at 4,096 x 2,160 is like running a game on 4 full hd monitors stack on a 2x2 configuration, should be possible with a good GPU.

    Really? I thought it was different running that high Rez on a single monitor was impossible for consumer based GPUs, not in the terms of performance but compatibility issue.
