WHY!? My money is being asked for by these companies for a monitor that seems half baked, perhaps you should reread the whole thread and my last post and then maybe, you comprehend.
You don't understand what full 4k is? Google search it. If the drivers are still in dev the why sell it for Mac users?!

Hey man wouldn't anyone be concerned if looking for a gull 4k monitor?! I express my concern over the problems that people are having here and this is your reply. Perhaps never reply to me on this thread again. I certainly have the right "attitude toward or way of regarding something"
My reading comprehension is fine. With two related grad degrees with a 4.0, at least I hope so. I've read the entire thread since inception, some of it three or four times, and have participated heavily in it. No, I am not concerned because I am not looking for a "gull" or a full 4K monitor and no one, including Dell, despite the intermittent use of "4K" is, in the fine print anyway, claiming this is anything other than a UHD (3840x2160) display. Google 4K? LOL! Since part of my biz involves shooting video, now 4K, I assure you, after over three decades in various audiovisual fields, I have intimate knowledge of what 4K is and isn't. The vast majority of the public hasn't a clue, and quite apparently, neither do the manufacturers, not to mention many people buying them. Alternatively, they (both TV and monitor sellers) are taking advantage of you by deceptive marketing (e.g., "true 4K"). There's a surprise.
As I said, 4K is a misnomer and should only be used in reference to a DCI standard, which I seriously doubt anyone here uses. Half-baked? Uh, how about well aged, nicely trimmed, but ever so slightly underdone. Flawless? What is? It sure ain't the new Mac Pro or Yosemite. Pick any 100 new high tech components and find 95 that work absolutely perfectly when mated to other components. You can't. It doesn't happen with airplanes, medical devices, or home appliances etc. either. These particular displays, especially for the $$$, are great, all things considered.
I initially complained about scaling (operator error on my part), warm tint on part of the screen (fixed with a bit of calibration), and the sleep issue (remedied with two or three presses of a menu button). Other than an occasional and brief flicker lasting a nanosecond (new driver to fix that coming), it's now perfect. Just got my first check for a 4K project using this monitor for grading and preview. It paid for itself about thirty times over. Now I am using it for free...pure profit except for a few bucks a month for power.
When you actually get one of these and use it professionally after weeks of testing and months of research, come back and argue with some substance instead of conjecture, if not paranoia. Until then, negatively opine on while the rest of us ride the wave of the cutting edge, doing things others cannot fathom until they actually see it.
PS- If you want a "full 4K" monitor, try LG or Eizo. They make the only two on the market, but like I said, they are not intended for general consumption. Read THEIR adverts, and you'll see both are aimed at pro video users of 4K footage. With Dell's return policy, why not try one out instead of flaming a product you don't own, use, and probably have never laid eyes on? People post on these forums often to resolve perceived, or real, problems. For every one of those, there are probably a hundred happy users who do not post and/or have never even heard of MR. Check out some pro vid forums and see what is being said about these products. Are they as good as a newer 2,500 USD reference monitor? No. Do they give 97% of the performance for 20 to 25% of the cost? Yes.
PS - As for those Apple "approved" displays, do you have a clue how many of those are full of far worse problems than you've read here? Pretty much all of them.
TLDR: Whatever.
