Do you know about the Asus and Acer 27", 4K, HDR, G-Sync, 144Hz with 384 FALD that were revealed earlier this year? Well, remove G-Sync and the high refresh rate, it's only 60Hz, and you have this monitor:

Tech details:

27" IPS screen, 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, 1000:1/20.000:1 contrast ratio (typical/HDR), 6ms response time, DisplayPort 1.4, Mini DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0 and 4x USB 3.0 ports. The stand does tilt, height, swivel and rotate. All for "only" $1999.99.

As a side note, even taking into account that it's a Dell monitor, given how much this one costs, the Asus and Acer ones will be crazy expensive.

 

Dell U3818DW

The screen supports a 3840 x 1600 resolution and has a 24:10 aspect ratio as a result, while the panel offers a 3-side borderless design and is based on an LG.Display IPS panel.

The monitor also features a convenient single cable with 100W USB Type-C connectivity that transmits power, audio and video between the laptop and monitor. Integrated dual 9W speakers power a full video editing experience or lifelike gameplay, while 99 percent sRGB factory calibration delivers accurate colours, right out of the box.

Dell UltraSharp 38 Curved Monitor (U3818DW) will be available to purchase in the EMEA region from June 30. Pricing available at launch according to the press release but word is that it will be around $1500 USD over in USA market.

Since they'll be using the same panel and have the same features, I'm posting them together.

They both use a 35-inch, UWQHD with a 3440 x 1440 resolution, curved panel with HDR.

It's a VA-type panel from AU Optronics (AMVA) with a 200Hz refresh rate, up to 1000cd/m² and the LED backlight is dynamically controlled across 512 zones. It's also a Quantum-dot technology panel and supports the cinema-standard DCI-P3 colour gamut. It also features G-SYNC.

The screen uses DisplayPort 1.4 which will be needed to power 3440 x 1440 resolution at the very high 200Hz refresh rate.

Both monitors will launch in Q4 2017.
