That's what I've been waiting for. My next monitor should be UWQHD 144Hz. But they haven't invented them yet. I'm hoping for Asus to make such a version from their new 4k 144Hz flagship.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Price isn't bad but screen doesn't seem very big. I don't know much about gaming monitors so maybe that's a good size. I wonder what it looks like compared to a 4K TV. Much better?

27" is a good size. I have 29" LG 21:9 monitor and it seems massive when your face is only 2' away from it.

Nice. I'm waiting for hdr monitor myself. It's difficult to go back to mediocre monitor once you tried perfection

That's the issue! Didn't realize I was in the PC forum!

set it to 120hz, you should notice colors look a bit better, for whatever reason for that particular model monitor people running 144hz mode have noticed color vibrance to be a bit... shall we say.. off?.

I'll check it out. Seems fine at 144Hz to me but my old monitor's colour accuracy wasn't great so it's a huge step up.

Why did you not buy a 8k monitor? 1440pi isn't that good ;/

I have taken you completely seriously, sold my new monitor and bought an 8K.

I was looking at the ultrawide monitors but everone talks about black bars in games and programs that don't support the resolution. You don't have that problem? Or is support pretty good for UW res now?
