Anyone used this display?

I get no hits using the search function but am keen to find a 4K display for my nMP and there is no sign of anything from Apple...

Apple states they support it here

HDTVtest 'Highly Recommend' the monitor but I can find little reports for actual monitor usage.

Any takers?
 
I'm also curious about the Panasonic TC-58AX800U. This has a DisplayPort 1.2 port for 4k @ 60hz. I feel like it is almost pointless to wait for HDMI 2.0 to DP 1.2 converters.
 
Just got the Panasonic TC-58AX800U and connected it to my nMP with display port 1.2. It's freaking incredible.

I'm pretty sure I'm at 60hz, but ever since Apple changed the Display window in System Prefs, you can't see the refresh rate. Is there any way to get this, like by running a command in Terminal?

I read about these issues with HDMI 2. Seems there is 2.0a and 2.0b, also displays using 1.4 chipsets and older HDCP.

Not sure how this impacts the nMP update, but I don't trust Apple Computer these days...
 
Looks like I'm running at 60hz. This TV is great!
