FS7: 4K / UHD monitoring economy options.

[broughtonfilm]

I know, words "4K / UHD" and "economy" don't usually go together when it comes to production...I found two models that look promising, the Asus claiming to be true 10-bit. I understand they are likely a poor choice for judging colors and exposure but maybe they could be used for framing, as a client's monitor, focusing, etc. Does anyone have experience using them with FS7 ?

My economy choice for the moment is the LG 31MU97. I actually run it HDMI from a Blackmagic Decklink 4K card. Via HDMI it supports up to 4K DCI @ 30fps. Can be calibrated. Displays sRGB and advertises over 90% of DCI color space. Very adequate monitor. 10 bit panel. I heard (but have not confirmed) that it is the same panel that Eizo will be using in their upcoming monitor (which wil run over $4K).
