Why, why would anyone pay £2600 for a VA panel monitor...

I'd give them a kick in the gonads if they asked that for an IPS panel, but VA?....I just cannot comprehend why someone would do it.

That cash will buy me a ps5 and a Xbox scarett when they get released along with a 65 inch oled TV on offer.....

Well it's Asus...of course it's over priced , thats why I wont buy Asus stuff anymore

I knew the console peasants 'I can get 500 PS4 Pro's and a 100" 8K TV for this' wouldn't be too far behind!!

Don't forget the ultra **** RMA procedures they provide, that's the cherry on top :cool:

Tbf lots of suckers out there, else they wouldn't price these things the way they do! They're aiming for the 4k/144hz crowd itching for an UW upgrade

Lol I have 2 high end pcs parts and monitors so not sure what you are getting at....

Jesus, I've been waiting for this but didn't expect that price point.

I have the Alienware UW just now and have owned 2No Predator X27's (both sent back because of issues).
I was hoping these new wave of monitors would be for me next.

My wife would chop off my manly bits if I even suggested £2700 for a monitor!

Lol yes

I should say though I do actually have an Asus swift lol...but mine was only £350

I don't think Asus care if they sell that many of these... it's a halo product not meant for the masses. A ridiculously small percentage of gamers could afford this, or even be willing to spend so much on a VA gaming monitor. Even principle alone will put off many. It's a disgusting price.

Are there any reviews out yet? Would like to see if this is a flawless monitor due to the price, or if it has a lot of issues like rumors are saying.

don't know what those rumours would be based on other than pure speculation or guess work based on other monitors. the screen has been shown at some events like CES, but in a very limited way. I've got one with me at the moment for full, thorough testing and a review at TFTCentral very soon though

That will likely be the first proper view anywhere - i've got the first and only sample in EMEA at the moment

That's not our home dimension btw people, it's a region

Legend · 21 Jun 2019 at 19:21

Throw in a free 2080Ti with purchase and we might be talking...

kazuya1337 · 21 Jun 2019 at 19:35

I was considering this monitor if it was priced around £1800 but this is taking the ****

Hard to know. It’s coming along well but there’s a LOT to test with something like this. I’ll post here once it is up or keep an eye on the site/twitter/rss feed

Don't rush a man and his art!

Pretty sure you didnt get the first as people have been able to order the monitor this whole week in the nordic countries, but glad you got yours, hopefully you can post some of the highlights here in the thread.
The rumours would be ghosting effects and that the pictures gets smeared out after you go over 144 hz. There is probably tons of stuff that you can check.

He said the first and only sample (review sample) in EMEA currently, which is correct. Consumers buying the product is not the same thing as a reviewer like TFT Central (Baddass is their main guy) being provided a sample and a thorough review. There's really no reason for him to waste his time posting "highlights" on this thread when he'll have a comprehensive review up to read when it's ready.

Its not correct, it can be correct if you talking about review sample, but none of us can know for a fact if he is the first to get a review sample from Asus, which I highly doubt, they probably sent out their review samples at the same time.

Either way, I am talking in general terms, people been able to get this monitor for a week now.
