Wow that's impressive. I'd probably just run in 10bit 144hz mode personally. I wouldn't hit 200fps in any game I play at that resolution and color accuracy is important to me.

I would get this. An upgrade from my Dell 34*UW @80hz. 144hz is enough and will strugle to run on a 1080ti.
When I bought my UW it was the best buy in years.... can never go back now. Note that I do have a 2k/144hz monitor as a secondary for fast FPS games.

I surpass 144hz easily on any frostbite engine run game. Mainly because of SLI, but this one is very tempting that is for sure.
They aren't top, but definately good bang for the buck. These days I would opt for AOC over Asus monitors. They have been getting some good position in charts around the world over the years. e.g. 3rd in 2017 best monitor by PCworld. Top 200 best tech companies in 2006 etc.
so I wouldnt rule them out as a good replacement for your current monitor.
Given my experience with both AOC and Asus, I would certainly opt for AOC any day of the week over an Asus monitor.
If I was given the choice between an Asus 4k 144hz with G-Sync and a AOC 1080p 60hz monitor, I would quite happily take the AOC because from my experience there would be no issues with it for 10 years plus, compared to the Asus monitor which would have issues from either day 1 or from 12 months onward, which again based of my experience would not be dealt with by Asus.
My dad uses my 27" AOC 1080p monitor and I use my Asus 4k monitor, and if it were not for the fact that my dad hates my 4k monitor, I would have swapped them round but given his eyesight issues it would be unfair to him.
Asus to me has gone downhill over the last 10 years, the quality and customer service has plummeted whilst prices have sky rocketed.

I would not want to pay Asus Rog Tax at all now days....
The only skeptism I have about this screen (since I am so keen to get it, G sync and all) is the colour quality.
While I am an FPS junky and prefer the smoothness over 4k I don't want to be sat fascinated with 170fps but showing bland colours. Obviously I'll wait for the reviews, but this is alot of money.
All I do know is that the customer service based on user feedback, and the overall quality of AOC monitors is extremely well praised. 200Hz refresh though, lets say its delving into a new beginning so I hope it comes out well. Not sure I want to be the guinea pig so to speak.

They are at the cheaper end of the spectrum but their quality of build is far superior to brands like Acer.
They also look like they're worth more than they cost, a rare treat in the world of monitors.

From my experience with AOC I'd say if you want a monitor that lasts go with them. a mate is still using my old 17" AOC, and to put that into perspective I just upgraded my sons 21" AOC to a 27" the 21" is 10 years old and still going it just didn't have HDMI, for gaming I've found the colours to be ok but probably not if you are a professional photographer
I picked up a pair of AOC 35" ultrawides. My only complaint (and it's minor) is backlight bleed. But you can't see it in-game, so it was no biggie. I paid $900CDN each at the time, for 100hz GSYNC 3440x1440. At the time, competitive screens were selling for $400 more than that. Both screens still look great. AOC gets a thumbs up.

That's good to know. I didn't know much about them.
HP has always been my "go to" brand. I bought my 32" Pavillion with FreeSync for $299 at Best Buy and I love it. It's not ideal for gaming as it's a VA but with FreeSync I don't notice any ghosting or anything and the VA panel looks gorgeous. It's my third HP monitor and they've always looked great and lasted a long time but at very good prices.
My old 15" HP with a glossy screen is still one of the best looking monitors I've seen or owned and I bought it for $200.
