Seiki has announced a 4K capable 50 inch monitor for just under $1500 US. That is an insanely cheap price for a 4K monitor. Let’s just hope they are not a total waste of dough. The peeps over at engadget think it looks great. Here is a rip from the website and the PR from Seiki. It’s available now from Tiger Direct for $1499 with fee shipping. Click here.

“When Seiki’s 4K TV set popped up on retail listings with a price that’s just a fraction of what we’ve seen from its more expensive rivals, we were almost convinced it was a site glitch — that couldn’t be real, could it? The company would like to reassure us that it’s quite serious. The 50-inch Ultra HD set is officially shipping to the US later in April, and it will still carry that regular $1,500 price tag”
