Sorry, got nothing to recommend... but, in other news:

Dell planning on a 28" ultra-high-definition for sub-$1000:

Coming Soon: Dell 28 Ultra HD Monitor– Expected to be The Industry’s Most Affordable Ultra HD Monitor
The Dell 28 Ultra HD Monitor will be available in early 2014. Offering the same incredible Ultra HD screen performance as the Dell UltraSharp 32 and Dell UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD Monitors, but priced at under $1,000, this 28-inch monitor can help boost user productivity with its multiple adjustability features, including the ability to pivot to portrait mode, plus multi-task applications. The energy efficient monitor has multiple input ports that allow users to display content from smartphones and tablets on the larger screen, and conveniently connect laptops, PCs and essential accessories. Dell expects this monitor will be the most affordable Ultra HD monitor in the industry when it is launched.

I'm still waiting for this curved prototype they showed us to go into production. I would buy the shit out of this:

Great. This means we can expect Korean versions for a third of the price.

An LCD version of that will never make it to consumers. It had some serious problems. LED might fix that, but who knows

I think you're confusing terms. LED (99% of the time) refers to backlighting for an LCD display. If you watch the video, you'll see that it's DLP rear-projection anyway.

They abandoned the DLP because it was as heavy as a television. They tried LCD panels, but it had horribly noticeable banding due to how the backlights were set up along the curve. LED might have alleviated that.

It sounds like the problem was using typical LED edge-lighting with a reflector rather than a more expensive LED matrix directly behind the panel, not that it's anything more than a guess.
