What happened to all the cheap 40" 4K?

I had been watching the A399U at $489 for months, finally get my big Christmas check to go and get it. Nope sold out, and then just like that, everything Wendal has reviewed has bumped up in price too. Everything.

Closest thing I can find now is this for nearly $80 bucks more: Link

Any advice? I really want to get one of these things asap.

Thanks, S.

I bet since Wendells and others recent reviews and all the new fame they have gained they're bumping up the price for market gain??, I hope im completely wrong and its for a new monitor but I can only guess.

asap, is misleading.

There is now the Tiena qxm4000, which is also seeing some price gouging. It raised $60 since I bought one a week ago.

Saw this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TIENA-QXM4000-UHD-40-3840X2160-16-9-4K-LED-Monitor-60Hz-DP1-2-HDMI2-0-Remote-/321952171541?hash=item4af5d84615:g:R9AAAOSwk1JWeHec

I saw the AMH A409u was in stock, but it's crazy, it's just under $800 now. I bought it in October and it was $560-ish. Weird.

I just brought mine from Amazon for $679. It will be here tomorrow. Less than three days to Michigan. Insane!!!

Here is the link:

Was this one shipped from Korea? Just curious because of the customs fees.

Thanks for the Link!

Yes. And it got delivered an hour ago. 40 hours. No fees to me in Michigan. Utterly amazing. I can't wait to unbox it tonight.

Saw the same thing after I purchased mine. Glad I pulled the trigger when I did! I can only guess that prices will continue to go up.

I keep hesitating on this purchase, and the prices keep going up.

Now that A409 at Amazon is sold out.

I was looking at the Wasabi Mango because Freesync. Now the cheapest is $699 shipped.

Wonder if the prices will go down eventually (because of panel shortages or some other reason), or they have finally realized the market value of these monitors and will keep driving up costs...

I thought tech costs go down when you wait?

I didn't know holding off on a purchase could price you out of doing it at all...x___X What the hell, everything on the page has either gone up or gone out of stock in the last couple days.

A399U pls come back.

Wait what?? When were they cheap?

Can someone in the US order from this site? Are there other sites like it to look through?

I am wondering if there are any other options on the Inexpensive 4K ~40+ inchers? Any other models or the prices are just jumping up.
