Until now, monitors featuring UHD resolution were rather pricy, but this is about to change. Thanks to an affordable 28-inch panel, which will be utilized by almost all manufacturers, prices for 4K-monitors are going to drop to around ? 600 / £ 500 halfway through 2014. Samsung was the first to send us the LU28D590D, a monitor which is going to cost around ? 600 / £ 500, but does offer 3840x2160 pixels. It is based on a TN panel, although it is an extremely good one, so keep on reading, because this could be a screen you might be adding to add to the top of your wish list.

First, regarding the 4K designation: essentially this is the term reserved for film at a resolution of 4096x2160 pixels. UHD is the designation for monitors and televisions featuring a resolution of 3840x2160, which exactly is four times Full HD resolution. As it is now, we use both, but officially the Samsung LU28D590D is a UHD-display.
