I have one. It's the best monitor I've ever used. And I've went through a lot of monitors, including the 4K Dells.

Maybe it isn't an issue on OSX, but with a 4K 32" fonts were too small unless I upped the DPI in Windows, which resulted in blurry text/icons. Many apps aren't DPI aware in Windows.

Compared to running the UP3214Q at 125% DPI, I'd also say the total desktop real estate is similar to the 34UM95.

Also, this LG has the best matte coating I've ever seen on a display. Completely unobtrusive. It looks semi-glossy but is still effective at cutting out reflections. My old 3008WFP had such a strong anti-glare coating that it gave off a noticeable grainy/ sparkle effect on solid color BGs. The UP3214Q was much better in this regard, though I still wished the coating was lighter.

I also really, really like 21:9 for gaming (FPS are amazing to play on this thing). I don't really care about 4K anymore, at least not until a higher-res 21:9 display comes out and Windows handles DPI scaling better.
