I'd love to be able to provide some help finding that, but it appears
all the vendors sites are interestingly broken.  Samsung's English page
says it's down for maintenance, and I can't find anything >1920x1080 on
their chinese page (not that I can understand it).
The closest I've got on lgdisplay.com page is an error page.
