The Canadian Tire flyer has a 43" Seiki 4k UltraHD Smart TV (while quantities last - sorry no rainchecks, which usually means, forget about finding this anywhere) on sale at $399.99. I could not find this on the Seiki web site. They have a 42" model though <http://www.seiki.com/content/42-se42um-led-ultra-hdtv>. It will do 60Hz via HDMI 3. I do not know any video cards that will do that.
Well given the latest standard is HDMI 2.0 with 2.1 under development, I suspect HDMI 3 is a typo that should have been HDMI 2. Would make sense since HDMI 2 is in fact what allowed 4k@60Hz.
If you have displayport 1.2, it seems this might work: http://www.accellcables.com/collections/adapters/products/displayport-1-2-to...
Or find a card with HDMI 2.0 support already.
Oh it was not a typo, just bad writing. HDMI 3 is HDMI port number 3. The display has 3 HDMI ports. Ports 1 and 2 are HDMI 1.4, while port 3 is HDMI 2.0. So you can only get 4k 60Hz on one of the inputs, while you are limited to 30Hz on the other two inputs. -- Len Sorensen
