Yeah I know...  (solemlny shakes head)

That is why I am expecting to likely have to wait until next year before I upgrade my monitor.

I almost pulled the trigger on the newer ASUS Gsync IPS monitor until I learned they are still using an 8-bit panel with color dithering to achieve 10-bit(like) color scale. There are other true 10-bit IPS panels that meet all but 1 requirement, that being GSync, but if I am going to drop $500-$800 on a monitor it needs to have every feature I want. However, now that HDR is on its way into the PC market I it only adds another must have feature. Being an A/V nut with high standards does not help my wallet one bit.

Well, there were a couple of monitors announcet CES that would meet all your needs, and them some.

Of course, there's a big problem, that they're rumored to be $2,000

They will cost around $1,200 which in all honestly I would not mind spending  knowing that I won't need a new monitor for at least 5-7 years. 

However the new monitors by both Acer and Asus are in my So Close, but So Far Away category. They are UHD (4K) monitors when I want/require a QHD (22560x1440) monitor. At the rate of GPU advancement it will still take 2 generations if not more before a single card can run 4K at 60fps+ with all graphical features enabled on the majority of  new and upcoming games. For me SLI is not worth the cost since you rarely get more than a 30% gain in FPS and I don't like to go through trouble of enabling and disabling SLI whenever I wish to play an older title. 

Yeah, I know, I am picky, but being picky as I am helps me get the best possible experience for me.
