I appreciate the DPI wars coming to laptops, next up is monitors. I'm friends with the owner of a local computer store chain and he says he sells 100 "low dpi" (aka 1080p) screens for every higher dpi screen. It doesn't make sense for him to stock them at those rates, and the cost difference is quite high because the 1080p screens are basically cheap TV glass rather than non-volume computer glass. (same issue with getting a 1920 x 1200 screen).
I've ordered a couple of the Asus 4K screens from him to try out but man $3500 (4K) vs $350 (1920 x 1200) vs $150 (1920 x 1080). That doesn't sound like a sustainable market to me.
