Asus finally unveils the 32" 4K 144Hz monitor, no HDMI 2.1 and $6,400 USD


I can’t see the price being legit, that would be completely retarded. They’d sell like 2 of them. I’m sure it’ll still be $3k, which is dumb enough as is

May just pull the trigger on a CX 48” or a GN950. Time to start researching

if that's the gigbyte model, i'm not sure if it'll work. that article specifically states MSI. can you put the MSI BIOS onto the gigabyte model?

I was about to say, meanwhile, smart people will just get a 48" CX which is $1,500 at FULL retail (non sale price); runs 4k@120hz with variable refresh and G-SYNC, can hit 800nits with HDR, is color accurate out the box, covers nearly 100% of P3 color gamut and will have the deepest blacks you can get being OLED.

Not sure why more people aren't gobbling those sets up. I guess just TOO big for some people's setups or the paranoia with burn in risk.

Jay-z yikes (dot) meme.

Oh well....it was a budget build so I'm not gonna be mad. Still have plenty of options for an upgrade from the Ryzen 5 2600.

yeah i just dont know if I could make it work with my current setup. seems like most people do a wall mount and then pull their desk away from the wall but I'm not doing that.

goal when i get my house is to have a media room with a 75" CX and my PC a little further away with a 4k monitor. If I want to play PC on the TV, I just do a quick switch and play on the couch. leaning 27GN950 right now

Yes direct price conversion is rarely accurate. It'll be like $3,500 in US.

And it's not even that good of a panel. >90% DCI P3 is low tier. All those dimming zones and HDR1400 but barely a wide color gamut.

LG GN950 for example is 98% DCI P3. Samsung G7 95%.

I mean in a world of 49" ultrawides and people with 2-3 monitor setups it just really doesnt seem like a big difference overall. I've got 2 24's side by side for my WFH setup and it's just as wide as a 48" CX.

Weird times we're in where 48" doesnt even really seem that big (for a tv).

Too big I'd only want it as a second monitor and hook up PS5 to. PC gaming I'd still want a 4K 144Hz 27" or 32".

Side by side no monitor out there would even compare is the downside.

I still don't see much reason to upgrade my 8700k anytime soon.

If anything, I'll eventually get a Z series board and a better cooler and overclock the snot out of it. Plus the Z series board will let me get some better ram speeds since I'm stuck at 2666 on b360

Yeah I'm really only considering it out of fun and need of a new case. Bored of the 8700K setup.
