However xorg still works and "mplayer -vo vdpau -fs movie.mp4"       gives a fullscreen 4k on xorg that is worthy of note. I assume other       graphically inclined applications will also work.               BP> i only have a display port monitor at fullhd, 4k is nice and        BP> expansive :=)              Yes it is. For the cost of a half decent 28" 4k monitor I can easily purchace       two top-of-the-line 1080p monitors. As for the 7" monitors I have, the 1080p       is definetly the better compared to the 720p. The smallest REAL 4k monitor I       can find is a 12" and they want far too much money for it, almost twice the       price of the 28" one I now have.              Four of them? I am going to have to pass on that.              I am glad I did this as now I know and am content to have one working 4k       monitor but I am unlikely to replace it with another. 1080p is more than good       enough for my usage for graphics, and is far cheaper. That is my       recommendation at this point in time.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
