This should be interesting:

Specifications
 
Probably going to cost $3000+. Better to just wait another year or so while the technology matures and becomes 50% cheaper.

That is my concern too. Every interesting display has been factory borked lately. There is a hope though that this is Eizo and this is not a "gaming" monitor, so Eizo will take a more serious approach to it. IPS technology is also much less likely to have any flaws other than IPS glow and dead pixels. It looks promising overall, but who knows.
 
Don't forget AG coatings. At that dot pitch, using the usually highly grainy AG coatings can make the finer details lost in the grain - that 'glare free' terminology has me slightly worried.
 
Eizo's new high end monitors use LG (IPS) or Samsung's (PLS EV2736W) semi-glossy coatings and the 4K 32" Sharp panels also use semi-glossy coatings.
 
That's good to hear. This does look promising, I hope it's priced well.
 
High end displays are always seriously flawed products in one way or the other. It's almost as if the engineers just figure "welp there's one interesting feature, now let's forget about the common sense stuff" and a $3000 display ends up being worse than a $300 display on almost everything imaginable except being "cutting edge" in a few random features.
 
Wonder how much input lag it has?

Also this is a Flexscan - Eizo's mainstream line, so I would expect pricing will be competitive but sit slightly above other mainstream 4K IPS monitors.

Eizo already offer a something similar to a 4K panel; the Duravision FDH3601 which was 25K Euro when it launched in 2011.

Maybe they are working on a ColorEdge 4K screen and this will share its parts with the Flexscan?

That FDH3601 36" real 4K (>UHD) seems more interesting then yet another Sharp clone. Though of course price strikes it out for most and it's multi-cable input configuration most probably will make it unusable with nvidia gaming gpus that have purposedly disabled support for 2*n nvsurround to artificially differentiate from quadro gpus.

Eizo's monitor designers, unlike Asus, Dell , Lenovo and Sharp, are not dumb enough to equip their monitors with insultingly low PWM (32" 4K IGZO use 120-240hz PWM) or horribly balanced, severe, overshoot ghosting inducing overdrive (27-30" wide gamut IPS from Asus, Dell and Lenovo). Eizo monitors aren't always the best, and their consumer monitors are overpriced (EV2336W=400$ vs. 180-250$ for non-Eizo 23-24"and the EV2736W=900$ vs 500-600$ for competitors), but their monitors are usually really good.

Does anyone know if the the 3.5mm audio output listed on the spec sheet supports optical output (ie. is it a 3.5mm/mini-TOSLINK port)?

If not, how about any of the other IPS 32" 4k monitors: LG 31MU97, Samsung UD970, Benq BL3201, Acer B326HK? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be better to just run a long optical cable along the wall? Is this for a DAC input of some sort?

I'm hoping to be able use a single audio cable into my 5.1 sound system from the monitor and use monitor to switch between 4 video/audio sources.

Is there some other convenient way to switch video and sound from 2 displayport sources and 2 hdmi running into the monitor?
