    Where to see 4K monitors on store demo in the UK?

    I am looking to buy a 4K monitor this year. Hopefully it will be Asus 4K IPS G-Sync monitor coming later this year. However, monitors are about judging with your eyes not on specs alone.

    Is there anywhere in the UK that has a large amount of 4K monitors or at least a reasonable selection of the new IPS ones that you can see in the shop on demo ?


    ( I live in Bournemouth South Coast UK . Am willing to travel e.g to London but hopefully not crazy distances )

    Chillblast are very close to you, not sure if they have a showroom.... http://www.chillblast.com/
    Novatech have a showroom in Portsmouth http://www.novatech.co.uk/stores.html
    YoYo tech may have some on display http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/opening-times though I live in York so no guarantees
    OCUK near Stoke-on-Trent
    Scan in Bolton (near Manchester) are also likely to have some on display

    Another one in London is the PC Gaming Bunker at the PC World on Tottenham Court Road (not confirmed that they have 4k monitors).

    To the best of my knowledge, the Yoyotech retail store on Windmill Street in London has closed down and they are now online only, ring before making the journey.

    Also the Gaiming Bunker in PC Tottenham Court Road is a sponsored area with backers including Asus, Corsair, nVidia and Razor, it tends to be used by a handful of locals and students that go in there to play Dota 2. They have somewhere between 8 to 11 PCs connected, all with identical specs but each with a different gaming keyboard, mouse and headset on display. The monitors are all identical, I can't remember what make but fairly certain that we are looking at 1080p models.

    IIRC they have a PC World Gaming Bunker Facebook page, it might be worth searching there to get an idea of what you might find on display.
