It's going to need to come with an HDMI 2.1 connection.

There will be no such thing as a HDMI 2.1 connection in 2017. The display only runs at full speed through the G-Sync chip which is DP 1.4 with DSC. 144 Hz 4K HDR @ 8-Bit+FRC.

HDMI 2.1 is the cable specification not the socket that wont come until sometime in 2018

It takes them years to actually make the connectivity standard chips after the spec is released.

I would love to buy this monitor if it come in under 1200 quid and a PS4 pro can be used on it !

Well it does feature a HDMI 2.0 socket so there is no reason why it would not work with a PS4 PRO

I thought that the socket was exactly the same.

Asus take forever releasing stuff so I wouldn't hold your breath.

This spec in a 27" monitor proving Asus has its finger on the pulse. Shame that pulse is a corpse lol.

Best

There's no real hurry. It's dependent on a video card good enough to drive it and that won't be until next year.

For me I want to buy a PS4 pro that I can use with a 4K monitor with gsync to run my pc on as well. The last thing I want todo is spend 400 to 500 quid on a Free sync monitor to use the pro on and try my titan x p on to find out that gsync is such a miss ! I don't have a 4K tv ATM and don't really want to buy one just for the pro as I spend so much time on the pc xD hence I am in a hurry for this monitor to appear

I'm in the same boat, I don't want to buy a 4k HDR TV, I want a monitor, this Asus ticks all the right boxes for me (well i would have preferred 32")
HURRY UUUUUUP lol

TFTCentral seems to have received a panel production date of July. Usually it takes ~3-4 months or so from panel production start to seeing monitors in stores. Looks like a Q4 release.

Can't wait for this to come out!

I got no intentions of spending £1000+ on a LCD based monitor but if anything, this should hopefully knock prices of current products down a bit....

More interestingly for me, is that they're reportedly working on a similar panel, but at 32".

Well that's DEFINITELY more interesting. 27" is just too small for me coming from 21:9 ultrawide... I couldn't deal with that loss of horizontal width. Whenever I sit in front of a regular monitor now I feel like half the screen is missing lol! 32" would certainly help mitigate that somewhat, and is a far more preferable size for 4K anyway.

Given we really need Volta to drive this thing properly anyway, I don't see Q4 or 2018 being a problem... 1080Ti will still struggle at this res maxed out and won't even get close to pushing 144Hz. HDR is going to be a real game changer though.

Ya but a huge difference if the 32" is only 60 Hz.

True. And rereading the article, it seems it could be

I would be fine with that, as long as it is priced accordingly.
