Dell's latest monitor is a doozy. The Dell 43 Multi-Client Monitor (P4317Q) is a 4K, 43-inch beast that acts as if it's four displays squished into one. When shown on a single screen, the displays are borderless, but users are able to swap any of the clients to full-screen mode, too. The entire monitor has a max resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz, a response time of 8ms, two 8-watt speakers and a USB 3.0 hub with four ports.

Dell designed the Multi-Client Monitor with the finance industry in mind, but it's able to run four independent clients of any kind at once. Plus, it gets rid of the cable nightmare that comes with manually setting up four monitors on a single desk.

The P4317Q costs $1,350 and is available to purchase right now. It's certainly an impressive piece of technology, but maybe that high price point is meant to offset expected lower sales of Dell's multi-monitor stands.
 
The monitor was designed for day traders, you can have 4 individual computers connected and displayed at the same time like the above picture, what i have not figured out is the best option for mousing over between each desktop, i know about KVM's, but it would not be a smooth transition, better option is nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire.
 
If you need to multitask simply buy 4 cheap 1080p monitors. I have a dual monitor setup at home and it suits all my multitasking needs.

Then you gotta calibrate them to compensate with the borders, get a card that supports 4 monitors or worry about enabling onboard graphics, among other things. It's just easier to get a bigger 4K screen.


If you play games, you may have trouble with input lag if it does not have a game mode.
