Red confirms the Seiki SE50UY04 is compatible with Redray 4K HDMI output over single HDMI cable and looks pretty good considering the cost, and a great deal as a cheap 4K computer monitor...

We got a truck load of these delivered to the studio today. Panels look better than you would expect for $1200 but they are no where near the big dogs.. mostly in terms of bit depth, color accuracy and controls ( as expected )

Obviously first thing we did was hook it up to REDRAY and it looked pretty good. Gradients from light to dark and fades you really notice the lack of bits that the panel can process.. looks like it handles about 6 bits and doesn't dither very well if at all. Color gradient charts that are preloaded on REDRAY seem to reveal a bit of non-linearity per color in the display.

You need to turn sharpening to zero and color is a single slider that you need to find out the sweet spot. Also noise reduction off.

I also hooked it up to some video cards.. The GTX 680 works great, the GTX 690 doesn't yet ( no HDMI port and i couldnt find the adapter to see if it works)

I think this is where this screen was meant to live.. its a great large computer monitor with a ton of real estate and the size isn't too obnoxious. Just make sure you have a nice small 27" or 30" monitor on the side for color accuracy. Solidworks guys are gonna have wet dreams with this monitor.

Single HDMI was what i tested.. and it was nowhere near 60Hz. It seemed to like 8 bit RGB, Feeding it 12 bit YCC from REDRAY made the monitor freak out.

we will bring it into the lab and see how far we can push this. You guys with REDRAY players have a bunch of test charts that will help calibrating your sets.. as its always good to calibrate to the source.

The important thing here is that this display is one of those "switches" that has been flicked. The lights are on.. 4K is here.. The consumers are waking up.

2 great updates:

1. A pro color Calibrator in LA works on the Seiki and tweaks it enough to pass as an inexpensive 4K Client monitor option

1. the "locked" advanced menu has been unlocked!

Maybe @Vitaliy_Kiselev could collect some cash for one of these $1199 Seiki 4K sets?

if Vitaliy hacks a DSLR for 4K, his skills might be useful using this 4K set as some guys have already accessed the "locked" menu on this panel already, Bingo...

I think it'll be just different model. HDMI 2.0 is very rare still.
