To be fair, the levels of HDR that these screens offer aren't that impressive.

Yeah I guess until we have a QLED(or equivalent), OLED or MicroLED monitor it's always going to be a little disappointing.
I guess my main point is that nearly all the state of the art monitors coming out now are 4k. 1440p seems to get neglected but imo is still the sweet spot even for those on v high performance systems.

Wish it was a VA panel. They are better than IPS. Better contrast which is critical to HDR.
Personally I find VA to be better in my viewing experience.

Getting people into 4K is a sure way to make them spend $1000+ on new graphics cards also (or a few of them).
Once you go 100+ FPS you don't go back, so it's all 1440p for me also.
I could only be tempted by a to buy a new monitor if a OLED version came out. Playing mostly in the dark, I'd really REALLY love for black to be black and not grayish.

Whilst this is great I think they're going to be stupidly expensive and like everything else will take forever to come to Australia
To be fair I think you could say 4K is "more mainstream" than 1440p nowadays. Not in the PC space specifically, but 4K is now standard-tier for multimedia, most TV receivers/set top boxes made and given out for free for the last few years now have been 4K ready, while you've been able to buy 4K smart TV's in the £300 price range for years too. Now we have gaming consoles in that price range that can do 4K and while not always "true" 4K gives a huge perceivable jump over 1080p.
Whether you buy 4K for your PC atm basically depends on whether or not you play more games than watch films, but I think the fact that 4K is almost more common in console gaming than PC gaming now says a lot about the need for and value of faux-4K techniques in the PC space so that people can keep their 100+Hz refresh rates while using mainstream media formats.
Well I still think 4k for PC is an exception to the mainstream debate. Since we are then talking about viewing angles, Gsync/freesync, g2g time, input lag, UMBL etc etc
I don't think 4k is mainstream for PC ... yet. We do see IPS being adopted more readily now without the hefty cost it once had.
Yeah, though I think the reasons are more because of periphery technical limitations (No cable can really do 4k above 60Hz properly and no GPU can really push games that far without compromises on either part), combined with Windows' terrible scaling on smaller displays, than any limitations induced by the panel technology, price, or market desire, now that to many people 4K is no longer exotic, and generally 4K devices come at the same price as 1080p devices 5 years ago.
Well it was also proven around 5 years ago, that there were 1440p monitors on the market which actually had 4k panels fitted. This was due to reducing production costs. For those who did have 4k without knowing, you could do a little hack and enjoy the full resolution feeling without the additional premium that 4k once had.
I still think 4k Monitors are far too expensive still. Look at any other media and as you say its same as a 1080p. Nearly every other market has adopted 4k with arms wide open.
Yeah, it's not that bad now, you can get 24" FreeSync 4K HDR monitors close to £100 (Cheaper than 1440p, because the panels are so much more common), it's just there's still major costs & headaches to using it for a PC elsewhere in the chain, and to get 4K + more premium gaming features than FreeSync (High Hz and so on) suddenly puts you in a different price league. I think 120Hz will becoming much more widespread with DSC signalling and next gen consoles though.
