Linus demos Asus PG27UQ - 27" 4K 144 Hz HDR 1000

Drooling already? Watch this:

Apparently the delay, he says, has mainly been in getting HDR and Gsync to play together.

For me, the most interesting tidbit was that above 98 Hz you start to lose features. That's a real negative for me.

Still only 1000:1 contrast ratio though for a couple of grand.

Or >20,000:1 for HDR too

£2.3k and it's not even a native 10bit panel, 8bit + FRC. They can keep it.

It’s not aimed at colour critical work or graphics professionals where you’d have the necessary hardware and workflow to make use of 10-bit colour depth. You’re never going to see any difference in practice with it being “only” 8-bit +FRC, especially in it’s intended gaming uses

The high cost is because of the 4K @144Hz Panel, need for DisplayPort 1.4, Gsync module and most importantly because of the very complex and expensive (currently) FALD backlight with operation for gaming at VRR which was the cause of a lot of the delays

I'm going to be watching for real world reviews for this very carefully.

rather stick with my x34a for that price (Even though there nothing alike i fancied something smaller)

This is my dream monitor for fortnite.

X34P buries this for value at £799.

I’m also very happy with my X34P. You can’t beat UltraWide.
Ps, just seen the X34P is £599.99 at one well known etailer - not that I would buy from them though.

They took it down quickly. It was more likely a misprice.
