I didn't have trouble rationalizing my pre-order of this LG Ultra QHD (3440x1440) for $999. It's not 4K, but it's very competitive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JR6GCZA/ref=oh_details_o...
What I'm still waiting for is a 1x (~110-120 ppi) 3k (2880 to 3k horizontal pixels) monitor so I can do true dual windowing. I'm currently using a 2560x1440, and horizontal space is a little tight. I don't want to use a 4k monitor as a retina display since I want to just see more pixels w/o multiple monitors. And 4k monitor w/o retina (38"+) is too big for normal viewing. So the ideal size is 2880 to 3k horizontal pixels in 27" to 30".
The only option seems to be the Auria eq278c[1] and eq308c[2], both resolutions are 2880x1620. But since it came out less than 1-2 months, there isn't any reviews for it yet. Its cheaper eq $400 eq276wn claims to be 2880x1620, but reviews says it's actually a 2650x1600, so I'm not going to plunge $750-$1k until there's a good reliable review for it. The other alternative is the new LG 3440 x 1440 [3], but it's not as ideal as 2880x1620 since it requires a bit more head tilting since it's much wider and harder to do 2 vertical windows editing at 1440 vertical pixels.

I'm still waiting for a good non-retina ~30" 3k monitor. I'm currently using a 2560x1440 (HP zr2740w), and horizontal space is a little tight for dual windows. Retina doesn't really matter for me (I got the retina MBP, but using it for 1680). The only options seems to be the ones linked below, but there aren't any reviews on the 2880 ones, and the 3440 is too wide and only 1440 high, not ideal for dual windows.
