Prove it! Please list some 4K-monitors which were available for PCs in 2000 - 2006!

Some benchmarks of Anandtech & Co. of that era in 3840x2160 would also be welcome!

Also let us know which PC setup you had in 2001 or 2002.

I don't know.
It looks pretty possible to me.

But he claimed several times that there were 4K displays in the PS2-era... should be easy to prove that if true.

Systems from 2006 running some of the most advanced/demanding titles of the time, at 4MP.
None of these games even made it to the PS2.
It isn't hard to imagine systems like these being able to run PS2, or early 2000s PC titles at 8MP.
Especially if you drop some settings.

You are comparing tech of the year 2000 (PS2) with tech of the year 2006 in an extremely costly setup (quad-SLI). And nobody is denying that PS2 was very dated in 2006... the 7th gen was already out then.

But until mid 2004 there was no Nvidia SLI and until mid 2005 there was no ATi Crossfire... the maximal performance you could get in the early PS2-years were from one GeForce 2 (2000), GeForce 3 (2001) and GeForce4 Ti 4600 (2002) respectively their ATi counterparts... good luck playing in 4K on them.
