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

If you have desk space, LG 48" OLED with 120Hz and G-sync might be a better choice.

$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

I 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.
