ASUS announce their new PG35VQ HDR 21:9 200Hz display

By what standard is HDR determined here? Is this panel 10-bit and capable of 1000nit brightness, or are monitors going the same way as TV's with any and every manufacturer selling HDR monitors which they aren't truly capable of achieving the standard for it?

I'd also like to know what the connectivity options are... it must be DP 1.4, or perhaps 2.0?
 
Presumably this is VA? It looks like IPS is being sidelined for now. That said, I'm hoping for more Freesync 2 news.

Yeah, expect 2 things from this: Insanely priced (more than the current ones at over £1000) and major quality issues.

Nah, ROG products have failed in my eyes badly. Insanely overpriced as well.
 
I don't get the point of this display. Yes all those spec sound epic on the box, but... What hardware can run new AAA games on 3440x1440 and 200Hz??? I don't think they will sell many of these. And they will probably suffer as PG279Q did on launch.

Edit: They should be focused on putting more 2560x1440 displays on the market.

The performance demand difference between 3440x1440 and 2560x1440 isn't that great. If you can run the latter well, you can run the former. And the added immersion is well worth that small hit you take. I have an X34 currently and could never go back to 16:9. Whenever I sit in front of a 16:9 screen now I feel like something is missing. I'm all for more monitors like this... it's 4K which needs to take a back seat, as that is a MASSIVE leap in terms of GPU demand.

But you are right to say that there isn't a GPU solution (even SLI) that is going to push AAA games at 200FPS at this res, but the same is true @ 2560x1440. The more important thing here is that they put out a 'TRUE' HDR panel, i.e 10-bit, 1000 nits etc., but I fear that may be asking to much and it will likely be pseudo-HDR at an insane price.

When 120Hz 1080p monitors became available, not many systems could run them at 120 FPS. It doesn't mean they weren't in demand. A Monitor is one aspect of your system that can be considered future proof if you choose wisely. This would be a very future proof monitor. A 1080Ti won't be able to run it 200Hz, but the 2080Ti would, at least in current well optimised games like Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Dark Souls III, GTA V.

I can see this being popular amongst those who can afford it.

Monitors tend not to BS about specs like TV manufacturers so I'd expect 1000 nits min, but you never know without it stating.

According to link below, it is in fact 1000 nits. Now lube up and bend over for the price lol! :eek:

Man, both monitors from Acer and ASUS just looks the absolute sex! First time ever that I have a real hard time deciding which one looks best (even though the Acer looks very similar to ASUS PG348Q monitor):

I might actually go with the ASUS this time, as it just looks soo damn sex and so sleek. Really liking the subtile logo on the front in comparison to the red backgrounded "PREDATOR" on the Acer.

Really nice monitors. But i hate the stands. They look awful :eek:
Especially the new Asus styling. I'm all for the old ROG, but that three pod :nono:

Agreed with you. Acer can kinda like pass but ASUS is just unnecessary. If my wallet could ever sustain the weight of these i would certainly replace ASUS' stand with generic bolt to desk one.

The stand doesn't bother me, as I'll simply use a monitor stand instead. Never liked their tripod stand anyway, just like you guys.

But I mean the monitor itself overall, without the stand and just the monitors and their asthetic designs.
 
you got to love asus..
this is where you now want to buy one but you already have the pg348Q.:eek:
always duel ultrawide setup ..LMAO

That uber fancy stand costs a lot of money. They should be better of with something simpler but stylish, and offer product for a lower price.

You don't have to run 3440x1440 at 200Hz. I can think of two main use cases for this. One, you can comfortably play AAA games at 3440x1440 at roughly over 100Hz without overclocking the monitor. Two, when you want to play seriously like in ranked or competitive CS, you can downscale the resolution, just for that game, and make use of all the frames, if you so want. One other reason they did this is maybe that just because they can. I mean it already had everything, why not the refresh rate too?
 
I'll go with the ASUS. I don't like how flimsy the build quality is on the Acer screens. The X34 models are particular bad.
