20" 4K tablet, anyone? (The resolution is UHD+, 3840x2560.) Panasonic
announced one, though at a price of $6000 ($7000 for the faster model)
I doubt many of us will be buying one.

Interesting take, Dan. The more expensive Lenovo (the one that is also
a touchscreen Android device) does pivot all the way from horizontal
to vertical, so it looks like a first pass at your concept in a
smaller size. That one isn't due until summer.

Lenovo plans to ship in April. ASUS also announced a $799 28" UHD
monitor due in "second quarter 2014". The Dell and Lenovo monitors are
limited to 30Hz refresh at 4K (fine for programming but not ideal for
gaming); the ASUS may
It's a bit bigger than 24", but two 28" UHD (aka "4K", actually
3840x2160) monitors (Dell for $699 and Lenovo for $799) were announced
at CES. Lenovo also announced something that is a 28" UHD monitor plus
an Android touchscreen device ($1199). Not sure exactly when they will
be available. Dell alr
