Well, this came as a surprise, but I don't think the price will be... I'm guessing not much change from £3K...

The seeming lack of HDMI 2.1 is a shame (I'm guessing this will utilise DSC, unless they surprise us), as that will no doubt put it at a disadvantage when new GPUs arrive later this year, assuming they have it (will be rather odd if they don't), and given typical monitor delays we may even see the next gen from Nvidia before this monitor lands.

I'm thinking this will end up as one of the most expensive consumer level monitors ever, beaten only by the 55"/65" behemoths we've seen recently.

I don’t think it will see the light of anytime soon though... could be 2-years before it actually lands on shelves!! It actually wouldn’t surprise me given how many monitors see delay after delay, and this is certainly pushing the tech boundaries so I’m sure will suffer the same fate. Not to worry though, most people will need years to save up for it anyway ha! :D

Acer just announced theirs at $3600, so yeah, £3K is pretty much a given at this point. LOLS! :D It's a joke really, but people will still pay it.
 
48" OLED will probably not be far off half the price of this... if you can make the size work, it's a no-brainer really, even with the potential burn-in risk. Over £3K for a PC monitor... seriously... the world's gone mad I tell ya!!

Don't count your chickens, the size could prove to be popular and not need to drop so much...

That wouldn't really make sense though... we know what OLED prices do historically, happens the same every year. So for the 48" to have an inflated high price would mean every model above it would too... and that just wouldn't make business sense. OLED production is increasingly significantly... this will bring prices down, not up.

48" is an odd size and the first screen released where they have managed to shrink the OLED down small enough to make a 48" screen. Therefore I expect it to be cost more than a 55" screen initially.

There's just no business sense in that, and it will make their entire product stack look very odd. I don't see it personally, but we'll find out soon enough.

I think HDMI 2.1 is aimed solidly at consoles. Particularly as the CX48 inch OLED guys still cant run theirs with 3000 series cards at 4k 120hz. Last I looked anyway.

I get the console argument. One could argue it's not NEEDED on a monitor exactly, although there would be benefit to it. Plenty of people use monitors with consoles also, so that rules this out with the PG32UQX. More to the point though, it's the perception of value when it's not included. Seems a mistake to me to not do so, given this is obviously going to be a premium product with a price tag to match. Not including HDMI 2.1 will put quite a few people off, and certainly anyone who wants to hook up a next gen console to it will look elsewhere.

It seems for PC usage DisplayPort has got your back for many years to come.

Yes it's not going anywhere. It's just as 4K high refresh becomes more popular that it will become more widespread. Its inclusion on next-gen consoles is a clear indicator of that.

I'm on the Asus website this monitor has hdmi 2.1 connection with it.

What site are you on? I can't even find it on there, other than in news articles (like the one from January in the first post of this thread), and no mention in those of HDMI 2.1.

I've never seen HDMI 2.1 mentioned in connection to this monitor, and the Acer equivalent (the X32) was announced by them to feature three HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.4, so again, no HDMI 2.1 to be seen.

As Badass has said, it makes sense that this may have something to do with the G-Synce module.

Is there any updates on the release date & price for this monitor yet ?
As i been thinking of buying the PG35VQ but looks like this new monitor has better specs

The main thing am interested in is I want a monitor with really good blacks

The blacks on my PG34Q are more like just a dark grey then black :( and the picture kind of just looks flat & boring compared to seeing the same pictures on my OLED & plasma TV's

Why does a TV give such better picture quality compared to a PC monitor :(:confused: Am really hoping this new monitor can change that

Don't get your hopes up. It's still IPS (same as your PG348Q) so if you're going to compare this to OLED or even a regular LCD TV (most of which are VA), then you will be disappointed. There's no reason to think the PG32UQX will have better blacks than any other good IPS panel, and the advertised spec of a 1000:1 contrast ratio indicates as much.

If you want OLED like blacks, get an OLED. No monitor is ever going to get close. You've ruined every PC monitor for yourself by looking at OLED lol. :p
