    I have to say 'meh'. Low resolution given the size. I'm waiting for something like the Freesync version of this: https://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27UQ/ - Quantum Dot IPS, HDR, 4K, 144 hz, 27". The first company to offer it will receive my money for 2 of them.

    Meh. Way overkill. 4K is nothing more than a bragging right that requires overkill of GPU power for it.

    Care to give the cost of this one? Anyway, you do have a point. I'd save the money to get the ASUS as the specs falls into my shortlist and is future proof for many years.

    At announcement time, the rumor mill was suggesting $1000-2000 depending on whose rumors you like best. Since it hasn't launched yet, that's all we know.

    You are comparing this 27" 4k with the 31" 1440p and 27" 1080p monitors. This is apples and oranges. Also the one you list is likely 2x the price. I doubt anyone is having trouble choosing between these options.

    Finally the monitor is released that I've been waiting for to upgrade from my current 27" 1920x1080 60hz VA monitor.

    A 32 inch 2560x1440 gives you the same pixel size as 1920x1080 at 24 inches which is more than doable without messing with DPI settings and having issues with that. It's a VA monitor giving it the deepest blacks and the highest contrast ratio until OLED burn in problems are solved as a PC menu bar will burn them in over time. The 144hz refresh rate is just perfect and the inevitable free sync certification would be enough to sway me towards the cut down Vega 10 instead of either a reduced price gtx 1080 due to vega pressure or a 1070 if no drop and i mean the less expensive of the 2 vega 10 cards to be released not the more expensive full no disabled SM vega 10 basically 1 step down the product stack as that very last step towards the top is always exorbitantly high and the pay out does not equal the performance gain plus the 1 right below usually is not far off on performance and should be great for 1440p @ 144hz. Basically check out the benchmarks and see if maybe you do need a flagship gpu if you want to take advantage of the 144hz speed to its full.

    this monitor finally gives me a reason to legitimize the expense of 1440p over 1080p cause the resolution increase from 1080 to 1440 during a game is rly not that noticeable, a 60hz 1440p or a 144hz 1080 the 1080 is going to be better to play hands down. This monitor finally mergers the panel type the refresh rate and the proper size to go with 2560x1440 now we just deserve an nvidia equivalent.

    I have such a 32" QHD monitor, but not curved. The resolution is fine, text is not too small, but I think a 30" size would be perfect. Hopefully a gsync option will come later with a reasonable price such as these AOC.

    I think we have a winner! "Best/Worst Use of Absolutely Superfluous LED's"

    whats with the min 48hz refresh? Really like the design and the larger one is perfect for my needs but with my RX 480 I'll be dipping below 48FPS I imagine so freesync won't help... why doesn't it have a lower starting point. Also the lack of HDCP on the 1440p screen is annoying, was hoping to plug in a chromecast (though where you'd channel the sound is another question I guess...)

    REALLY wish the ag322qcx would actually release, this article got me hyped for it months ago and it still hasn't materialized V_V
