    It's definitely not bad, but I definitely prefer 60FPS.

    Personally I'd rather game at 2k 60fps. 4k at those frames is quite an achievement but there's no overhead.

    Hopefully with something like g-sync it would not matter.

    Quite simply a 4k panel would be the best of both worlds since you get 1:1 scaling down to 1080p for games (bonus points if it can run 120hz at 1080p) and then for those who want the res or work space you can run at the 4k.

    Good point Meaker. 1:1 scaling is a massive plus. I had a 1440p monitor and 1080p looked terrible. I do wonder how N-sync will fair. I can't say I'm that excited since I don't find input lag to be a probem and at 1080p in usually at a constant v-synced 60fps.

    I hate input log with a passion so I am looking forward to trying it at some point.
