The Seiki only supports 4K at 30hz, and is sized to be a TV rather than a monitor. It's far less practical to use a 50" display at 2' away than a 28" display of the same resolution. You could maybe even manage 2-3 28" displays on a desk.

Thanks for the answer.

I never play video games, so the 30hz refresh rate wouldn't be a drawback for me, and I already have my 27" monitor set almost 3' away from my viewing position. It would be much easier for me to come up with $700 for a new monitor; $1400 to $2100 would be out of reach.

I would really like to see how well a tiling window manager would work with a screen that large.

30Hz is painful just for normal use. You can't move your mouse precisely any more because the screen doesn't update fast enough.
