Are there any 4K displays currently out on the market that support both HDMI 2.0 for 4k60 (with working 4:4:4) AND also have a DP1.2 connector?

I'm aware of a few 4K screens in recent weeks with working HDMI 2.0 supporting 4:4:4 chroma on at least one port, but (as I understand it) this only gets you 60Hz with the GTX970/980 and I'm loathe to upgrade my GTX780 just for that. My 780 supports 4k60 just fine over DisplayPort but the DP displays all appear to lack HDMI 2.0 and its advantages (faster sync, usefulness when more HDMI 2.0 sources come available--which is very likely.)

Right now, as of late November 2014, am I correct that we have to pick one or the other?
 
The Panasonic AX800 does both I believe. It also has the lowest input lag of any 4K TV at 37ms.
 
The only monitor that I know has both is Acer S277HK and the already mentioned Panasonic AX800 TVs.
 
Only thing i dislike in Panny - it's 4K DP is via MST. But it being only 4K TV vendor including DP at all .. i hope that next panasonic 4K TV after AX800 will have everything top notch, including DP SST 4K input possibility.
 
It's too bad the AX800 does not come in a ~ 40" format. My "dream" monitor is a 40" 4K panel that is future-proofed on the HT side with HDMI 2.0 but has DP so I can use it today with the equipment I have.

The AX900 is coming out soon, although it's very expensive and aside from that, input lag is a whopping 86ms even in game mode (http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/tx55ax902b-201411073944.htm) :( Major disappointment for me. Don't know if it also uses MST or not.
