ASUS Announces the ROG Swift PG329Q Monitor: 32" Fast IPS, Quantum Dot, 2560 x 1440, 175 Hz, 1 ms, HDR 600

ASUS at its Asia ROG event announced a new monitor, approaching stores and shores (eventually). The ROG Swift PG329Q is being launched with a "Super Kill" marketing line, which aims to showcase just how impressive this monitor will be in aiding users' gaming capabilities. The ROG Swift PG329Q features a 32" "Fast IPS" panel - fast IPS here meaning that it's capable of running at 175 Hz whilst keeping a 1 ms Gray-to-Gray response time - all of this with IPS' renowned color rendition.

The monitor features a sane 2560 x 1440 resolution and HDR 600 certification from VESA, and thanks to the usage of Quantum Dot tech, will be able to offer 98% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and 160% sRGB ultra-wide color gamut coverage. The monitor supports Adaptive Sync tech (whether via FreeSync or G-Sync compatible), as well as ASUS' ELMB SYNC technology. There's also the usual RGB tech going on in the back of the monitor. The ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q will be released in the fourth quarter of this year. No word on pricing, but expect a monitor with these features to be leaning heavily on the $ side of the equation.

MxPhenom 216Yes that's what I'm anticipating as well. Excited to see it. I didnt see its showcase at CES though. Do you know of the model name for it? I plan on getting a 3080 right away. Id like to get a 4k soon after to go with it.

EDIT: This guy rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-monitors/the-rog-swift-pg32uqx-delivers-the-best-4k-hdr-gaming-experience-yet/

I suspect price will be minimum $1200. Id still buy it...
LOL, you can double that price, and then add another $1200 to it. The PG32UQX will be using the same panel as the Acer X32 and the price of that has already been announced.

What should be more affordable is the Acer XB323QK NV. This does away with the MiniLED and HDR solution (well, HDR 400, but that barely qualifies of course), so this one will probably be more in line with your price suggestion, but I suspect closer to $1500.

I don't get why people buy monitors that are more expensive than 4k OLED TVs.

better response times and quality

most TV's do not give out quality as good as a monitor, and that's coming from someone who DOES use TV's as monitors regularly

The latest LG 4K OLEDs have response times around 13ms. That's very good, and unless you're into some serious hardcore gaming that requires a much faster panel (or are very sensitive to such things), will be fine for most people. As to quality, OLED utterly destroys LCD in every other metric. The problem is size, with 48" being the smallest OLED currently available of course. Unless you have a very deep desk and lots of space, this will be too big for most set-ups.

Oh i'm all for image quality etc of oled, but 13ms is barely good enough for 60hz (16.6ms), let alone faster.

It entirely depends what you play. Fast twitch shooters, no... but really, who's playing those on a 48" screen?? Also, most people with consoles are absolutely fine on TV's for most games anyway, and they have far worse response times. PC users who demand a certain specification from a monitor aren't looking at OLED for one second, the size alone makes it totally impractical. But as mentioned, in all other aspects, the QUALITY of OLED destroys any LCD. Except for text reproduction... OLED isn't great for that. Not that anyone is buying OLED for daily MS Word tasks.
