Think I would want to get an ultra wide HDR 144hz monitor. That would be glorious!
Although I'm pretty sure the speeds they are showing are for DP1.3. Iirc HDMI 2.0b still can't maintain the same speeds. Although for laptop displays it's more than adequate

It says DP 1.3 in the picture, mate

A 144Hz 3440x1440 HDR monitor seems like the sweet spot for DP 1.3 if you ask me

On mobile.. Had to zoom in so missed that title lol

Well the Predator and the Swift both cost $1500-$2000 (AUD) so they already cost that plus a kidney

Definitely 144hz 3440 if I can so I can claim back some desktop real estate.

This will be great if it really works like they say it will.

It will work. It's a DP standard. Has nothing to do with AMD saying it will, or even Nvidia for that matter.

I hope that it does, but I'm going to wait and see. (as if I have a choice in the matter)

It's more of monitor makers actually getting all the tech to support it and max out the standard.

That makes sense. There's a lot of screens on the market, and lots of configurations to choose from.

How do we know what to believe about them when they use differing terms for the same technology?
I have to read a lot of good reviews before I can decide on what to get. Even then, I'm never completely sure that I did the right buy.
