I was actually just thinking of waiting as it come soon anyway, as there was recently a major pricedrop on the 27" here.

It's been working for me (with a Firepro W4300 and the Dell 5K, and before that with a Firepro V3800 and a BenQ BL3200PT)

Good!
Thanks for answering, I forgot to ask if it is the default Windows 10 driver or one from AMD site and what is the driver version, the current is 15.301.260.

I'm using a driver downloaded from AMD - it shows as version 15.201.241-151104 in the FirePro control center - software information section (and I just double checked that it works with 30bit with the latest Photoshop CC)

Bigger screen. I have a 27" now and the real estate is tight when working in Photoshop. Whichever you decide to get be sure that the video card you have will support it or that you can replace the video card with one that your computer's power supply can handle.
My next monitor will require a new computer to get the additional Watts needed from the power supply for the video card.

Add a second screen. Move all non-image control panels away to that screen.

The Dell UP3216Q seems to have a calibration BUG. :-(

It depends on how you use the resolution. Native LCD resolution, physical screen size, scaling factor, (simulated) real estate, text/object size, and amount of detail in text are inter-related.
Consider, for instance three 24" monitors:
1. One with a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, running at native resolution.
2. One with a native resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, running at native resolution.
3. One with a native resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, running at a scaling factor of 2x.
Monitor 2 will have four times as much "real estate" as Monitors 1 and 3, but text will only be 1/4th of the size (1/2 the width, 1/2 the height). This may make things next to impossible to read.
Monitor 3 will have the same amount of 'real estate" as Monitor 1, but will have extra pixels to devote to drawing the same-sized text in more detail.
If you make Monitor 2 a 32", 3840x2160 pixel monitor, that will increase text size a bit, but the letters are still going to be smaller than they would be on Monitors 1 and 3. You'd need a 48" screen to dedicate all of the pixels to "real estate" (scaling factor 1x) without seeing any shrinkage in the size of text.

well, this just got interesting. Asus launching a 32" 5K "PROART" display:
"The 32-inch ASUS ProArt 5K UHD professional monitor provides stunning 5120 x 2880 resolution images through as single DisplayPort connection. Designed for graphics professionals, it has a wide color gamut with 100% Rec. 709, 99.5% Adobe RGB and 95%
DCI-P3 color-space support."

ASUS does not make panels, so I can only assume that Dell will follow

RuleZ!
With DisplayPort 1.3 it needs only one cable.

Having randomly read these comments:
If you have not used 4k on a 27 inch or larger screen you do not know what you are writing about and what you are missing in your images. I have a 2200 Adobe RGB graphics panel and an sRGB 4k panel. I would much rather look at and process raw images on the 4k panel. That was obvious to me the first time I used the 4k panel and remains so.
Apart from task bar icons scaling problems are minimal in Win 10. Even Adobe finally, sort of, fixed that in Bridge (they could easily do a better job in Windows for all their products).
Apple runs 5k with GPUs that are barely above utter junk quality. They have their own internal wiring, avoiding the bandwidth issues that Windows users face, and Apple users seem unaware that much if not most of the time they are seeing upscaled content. Most Apple users are blissfully unaware of lots of things they are missing and paying beaucoup bucks for not having. I own an Apple notebook, mea culpa.
The benefits of higher resolutions are apparent at 27 inch screens and greater at typical desktop working distances. I have a retina MBP and I find that resolution is meaningless for image processing on 13-15 inch screens.
I will move to 5k in a heartbeat when pricing and bandwidth issues improve. I can not understand why anyone would not want to see more of the megapixels that cost so much to buy in high end cameras.
