In recent years I have held 4k at 144hz to be the (current) holy grail in monitors for gaming. Aspects such as gsync/freesync, HDR etc. are also important, but I feel that nothing would match the combination of 4k and 144hz as features in a monitor.
At present, I am aware of a few 27" monitors at the very top end that can do this, seemingly less than half a dozen. I am ignoring anything 43" or higher on the basis that they are, in general, too large for the average consumer, or at worst, actually just a big TV. The few 27" monitors that have these specs are obviously quite expense at present, and there isn't much variety (I for one would prefer 32" as the sweet spot, particularly when sitting further back whilst using a controller to game).
I have been regularly scanning these forums for news of new 4k 144hz monitors, but there doesn't seem to be much, if any. Does anyone know if there is more such monitors in the pipeline from manufactures? I know that being able to run games at 4k 144 FPS is difficult for most games and impossible for the most demanding ones, but there are games which can do it on the right graphics cards, and games which benefit from lower settings just to hit that sweet spot. Do manufactures think there is no market for it, or is the technology just not there at the right cost level?
