ASUS Shows Off ROG Swift PG32UQX Monitor: 4K-144, G-SYNC Ultimate, DisplayHDR 1400

ASUS today showed off its latest flagship gaming monitor for bleeding-edge resolution and speed, the ROG Swift PF32UQX. This 32-inch flat-screen boasts of specs made of dreams: non-glare IPS panel, support for NVIDIA G-SYNC Ultimate (hardware G-SYNC), the highest-grade DisplayHDR 1400 certification with 1,400 cd/m² maximum brightness and 1,152 local dimming zones, 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, and 144 Hz refresh-rate. The included DisplayPort 1.4 cable is required to let the monitor work its magic, besides three HDMI 2.0 inputs. The monitor also offers 90% DCI-P3 color gamut. The monitor will also pack all ROG-exclusive features from ASUS.

xkm1948$2000+ probably but totally worth it
It's only going to be worth that price if it comes with DP 2.0 IMO. If it's still using the already obsolete DP 1.4, it's going to downclock to 98hz like the last 27" model whenever you run 4K HDR 120Hz. Or you're going to have to Chroma Subsample 4:2:2 instead of 4:4:4, which is really annoying when you're spending that kind of money on a panel. It worries me that they didn't go into this in depth though when speaking to Paul's Hardware about this monitor. Monitor vendors are always hiding this important information and just screwing people over left and right. As if playing the panel lottery wasn't bad enough.

Might be using DSC. Better than Chroma Subsampling. Doubt it's DP 2.0
Atleast we can reasonably assume it's HDMI 2.1

ZubasaI wonder if this will come with the new firmware that unlocks Adaptive sync on non-nVidia GPUs.
The ROG Swift PG32UQX Monitor: 4K-144, G-SYNC Ultimate will not have Adaptive support, it is a premium G-sync monitor housing a Gsycn module certified as Gsync Ultimate, meaning it will be absurdly expensive.
Adaptive monitors that support Gsync and freesync are not certified work less effifciently with Nvidia cards which is why they are generally much cheaper than certified monitors as they do not have to pay for the certification and its pot luck on wether or not it will work as advertised.

Unfortunately, this monitor will be ultra-expensive because of the DisplayHDR requirements and the refresh rate. And because it's an Asus. An extra $100 (tops) on top of that will be a drop in the ocean. But don't worry about it too much, the panels for this haven't tapped out yet (or are just beginning to do so), the finished product is at least a year away.
