ASUS today rolled out the TUF Gaming VG30VQL1A, a curved ultrawide gaming monitor that's closely related to the VG28UQL1A the company released in August 2021. As its name suggests, this one is a 30-inch. It comes with some impressive specs, including a 1500R curvature, 2560 x 1080 pixels native resolution, 1 ms MPRT response time, 200 Hz refresh-rate, ELMB, AMD FreeSync Premium, and HDR10, covering 127% of the sRGB palette. It uses a VA panel, and its other specs include 300 cd/m² maximum brightness, 3000:1 static contrast-ratio, and flicker-free brightness adjustments. Display inputs include two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a DisplayPort 1.2a. A 2-port USB 3.0 hub makes for the rest of it. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Dunno man. But then again 30 inch on 21:9 isn't quite as big as you'd think. A 32 incher with 3440x1440 is about similar in PPI as a 27 inch 16:9 1440p, and the same height!

Let's see actually, I'm triggered now

Similar to 1080p regular 24 inch mainstream apparently! But this is certainly a PPI where AA methods are useful, which kinda makes it yesteryears display. 1440p and up without AA is always superior IMHO and not even that much of a performance hit compared to AA on lower res.

Also... 200hz VA? I'm dying to see the overshoot on this thing. But this screams avoid

2560x1080 @ 29" 21:9 is basically a replacement for 1920x1080 @ 23-24" 16:9 at same height and ppi but with extra width. Same goes for 2560x1080 34" = same as 1920x1080 27" with more width. It's for those who are normally in the market for 23-24" 1080p monitors to dip their toes into budget Ultrawide without needing the signficant GPU upgrade required when moving from 1080p to 3440x1440.
