Generally, if it isn't using DisplayPort as it's primary input, don't use it as a PC monitor.
As an aside, kudos to Mike's Computer Shop in Richmond for getting me my 805i so fast (on free shipping no less). Ordered Monday afternoon and it's set to be delivered tomorrow.

Almost all the new name brand 4K TVs will take a 4K signal at 60hz in a 4:4:4 format from your computer or outside source as long as they have a HDMI 2.0 outlet. For computer video cards this includes all the 9XX and 10XX Nvidea cards and I also believe the latest Radeon RX 4XX series.
Here's a Sony X700D

The cheap monitors coming out of the East can be a good deal but they need to be investigated carefully before buying.
