Yup, monitors went from 1080p straight to 4k with 1440p not existing at all.

This baby will be £1500 *easy* with it possibly hitting nearly £1700 at launch with low initial numbers
Jesus I'm getting out of PC gaming, too rich for my blood!!!!
why do you think it will be £1500, thats too much for a 27 inch 4k monitor, the equivalent without the gysnc and high refresh rate is £750 or are they charging and extra £750 just for gsync and 144hz?
i think it wont be more than 1000 as the widescreen 100hz is £1000

£750 for a 27" 4k monitor? What world you living in mate, the GBP isn't that bad. You can get decent 4k monitors well under £500. I've even seen ones with FreeSync/G-sync cheaper than that.

Otherwise, the new monitor is the dream monitor upgrade. Minus the G-sync (don't mind FreeSync cos it barley affects price) and quality control issues though.
ASUS said the original quoted price of $1,199 was wrong. In Germany they stated it will retail for 1,999 Euro, so expect something close to that in USD and GBP.
I seriously want this. Price is going to be eye watering however! :/
2000 Euros!!!???? Only for the deluded!!
I suppose. Funny thing is I easily see the difference from a 27" 1440p screen to 2160p 27" screen, image quality difference is night and day for me. Yet I did not appreciate the extra hz going from 60 to 144. I find 60 fluid enough, but I think that is because I do not play online fps games, so the benefit was wasted on me. That said I would obviously prefer a 144hz 4K over 60hz one. Even with my 1070 say if I play Dota 2 or FIFA 17 I can easily get 144fps and benefit from that, even if it is a small one
I will have had my Dell 4K 60hz monitor for 3 years by the time these screens come out and I think I will get a 4K 144Hz HDR Freesync 2 monitor next which will last another 2-3 years until proper HDR OLED ones are out. Hell, by then I may even get a 8K one
Having had 2 x 27" screens side by side for over 6 months, 1 being 1440P and the other being 4K both IPS, The difference to me was minuscule.
