Amazon had a sale on the 50" 4K Seiki tv for $960 -- now they are $899, and the 39" 4K Seiki is $699.
They are not the most feature-laden monitors out there, and they aren't perfect, but since I deal with 4K film scans, a 4K monitor is very useful indeed. And a lot bigger than my old IBM T221 4K, which was 22" -- too small for all those pixels -- the first coming of Retina Displays.
The Seiki's refresh rate at 4K is limited by HDMI 1.4 to 30 fps, which the gamers don't like. Fine for me.
But a new Mac Pro with 3 of the 39" 4Ks… that would be cool. But that MacPro should have 10 gig E so one doesn't have to use a Thunderbolt adapter for 10 gig E for those of us who have to communicate with all sorts of machines.
Thunderbolt networking if it happens will be cool but it doesn't do much for all the PCs I have to use!

But as GPU performance has dramatically increased, software developers have begun to leverage that power in their apps. With the new Mac Pro, we looked ahead and engineered an even more powerful GPU architecture. Not only does it feature a state-of-the-art AMD FirePro workstation-class GPU with up to 6GB of dedicated VRAM — it features two of them. With all that power, you'll be able to do things like seamlessly edit full-resolution 4K video while simultaneously rendering effects in the background — and still have enough power to connect up to three high-resolution 4K displays."
