Specs are great, Aesthetics are nice and clean but with that price it's staying on the shelf ^_^

You're telling me a price tag that high and not even HDMI 2.1? Really going to expect people to use compression on such a high end monitor? What a joke. Like dice said it's staying on the shelf

That's the price of G-Sync Ultimate. It needs that Nvidia chip inside, and that NV chip doesn't support HDMI 2.1.

I understand that and I think Nvidia is on crack if they haven't bothered to upgrade their chip in the past few years.

It isn't a huge priority for them. They know that DisplayPort 1.4 is what a lot of PC gamers will use and that they just need to main PC connector to be optimised. Nvidia's optimising for their products first, not someone else's (consoles).
Beyond that, there are a lot of snobby folks out there that deep enough in the PC Master Race (hate that term) mindset that they won't care much about console support either.
Nvidia will probably create a G-Sync module with HDMI 2.1 at some point, I just don't expect them to be in a rush. Beyond that, DisplayPort 2.0 is coming. That will be their focus when the time comes. DP 2.0 should offer near 80 Gbps of bandwidth.

I don't think that's a great argument considering their own GPUs have HDMI 2.1. Video ports are standardized. Not having the newest available (unlike dp 2.0) is just asinine. They lose nothing by upgrading. It's not like you still can't hook a console up to any Gsyn ultimate monitor.

Yes, but one of the major aspects of G-Sync Ultimate that Nvidia doesn't want to lose is that their G-Sync module displays effectively lock PC gamers into the Nvidia ecosystem.
HDMI VRR is would make these screens great screens for Radeon or (future) Intel systems. It is in Nvidia's interest to avoid this. They want their screens to to be theirs.
I'm pretty sure that Nvidia won't create an HDMI 2.1 G-Sync module until after DP 2.0. That way DisplayPort is the best connectivity option for high refresh rates and they can lock their screen's best features behind Nvidia graphics cards.
The fact that NV's GPUs have HDMI 2.1 is not hugely relevant, as DP is what they have always used with G-Sync module screens and more of their GPUs support DP1.4.
It's too much R&D effort for something that is not strategically advantageous for Nvidia.

Nvidia love to lock everything up and even block features on older cards that are capable of doing them, don't ever expect that to change.
