In about 10 days I can use the following for a 0.28 test setup....

1 x Asus Vi Gene as a backend server

1 x Asus VII Impact as a Frontend unit

I don't currently have a 4K TV/Monitor device.....any recommendations
and I'll buy one?

I don't currently have a GPU that supports 4K (although I think the
VII Impact may using the onboard Intel GPU....I'll have to check)

Is this of any use?
