ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Strix XG43UQ May Availability
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that Strix XG43UQ, the world's first HDMI 2.1 gaming monitor, will be available in May. Strix XG43UQ features a 43 inch 4K panel with up to a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms moving picture response time (MPRT). It also includes Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology. The HDMI 2.1 port enables gamers to enjoy 4K 120 Hz gameplay on the latest consoles.
The inclusion of AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology ensures smooth HDR visuals with low latency, while ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB Sync) works simultaneously with variable refresh rate technology to eliminate smearing and motion blur for fluid and responsive gameplay. Strix XG43UQ has a maximum brightness of 1000 nits - more than three times that of OLED TVs. The monitor has a two-tone black and white finish with an all-white rear cover, and it features Aura Sync lighting technology for synchronised light effects with other Aura-enable components and peripherals.
Supersmooth true to life visuals
The 43-inch Strix XG43UQ features a 144 Hz, 4K (3840 x 2160) panel and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology to deliver super-smooth visuals at up to 144 frames per second. It's also equipped with ASUS ELMB Sync which enables ELMB and variable refresh rate technologies to work simultaneously to eliminate ghosting and tearing for sharp gaming visuals with high frame rates.
In addition, High Dynamic Range technology with DisplayHDR 1000 certification and professional-grade 90% DCI P3 colour gamut ensures exceptional contrast and colours for true-to-life visuals.
Next-gen gaming with HDMI 2.1
Along with offering amazing 4K 120 Hz gaming on the latest consoles via HDMI 2.1, Strix XG43UQ includes an Auto Low-Latency mode to reduce input lag, with less than half the input latency of 4K TVs. It also has variable refresh rate (VRR) technology to decrease tearing and framerate stutter, and it utilises Display Stream Compression technology to transport ultra-high-definition video across a single high-speed interface with no perceptible loss in video quality.
Anti-glare panel and rich connectivity
The anti-glare panel makes it easier to see what's on-screen in bright environments, enabling a better viewing experience when watching movies or playing games. Strix XG43UQ includes an array of connectivity options such as USB 3.0, HDMI 2.1 and 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, audio line-in, and an earphone jack. It also has a bundled remote control to enable users to adjust display settings easily.

LG OLED have exellent pixel response time (1ms) and input delay of 12ms, about the same as any high refresh IPS panel out there.
Watching movies with letterboxes is much better because of OLED too (complete black vs glowing on IPS)
You know... Marketing fluff.
Actually speaking of which it's kind of funny that they mentioned OLED in this article. The reason they have to make it so bright is to differentiate the highlights and shadows. See that's the thing and it's not needed with an OLED because it's perfect blacks.
I doubt either will last as long as my Acer 24 inch monitor (1920x1200) from 2006. I have that hooked up to a laptop for a special project I am working on.
Any word on when medium-priced 4k 120/144hz 27-28 inch monitors with HDMI 2.1 will arrive? I have some family members holding their breath for this.
While the TVs were like tanks.
