When did these come out?


Totally missed the boat with all my 5090 chaos,

But they're available from a few places.

I’ve not seen this specific model available yet, it’s due later in Q1 afaik.

I saw it for sale on a few sites or am I going crazy

 

[Personality+]

I've ordered one for Feb 6th could have done it earlier but I had to triple check it was real after badass comment my 5090 hunting has made me lose my mind a little

Wow looks like it’s available to order already. I currently have the ASUS one preordered but that’s going to be a month.

Going to change to MSI?

Hmm not sure. I know it’s silly but I do like the ‘I’m not there’ auto turn off feature on the ASUS as my windows go to sleep function struggles - because of the HDI processes of my speakers

Also there’s a lot of promises from ASUS re: OLED safety stuff/anti flicker.

But - work monitor is MSI 27” so these would pair

Is it much of a muchness @badass or is there any clear winner in your view? Sorry to nag you on something else

P.s. just had some surgery so I’m totally out of gaming for at least 4 weeks >< so I can wait.

Auto turn off is useful

wish I had it already, as I do disappear throughout the day with the monitor on.

Sorry to be so lazy as to ask, browsing hard at the mo, but does the MSI have this? I can’t remember… other than me thinking that it was a pro for the ASUS. I may be mistaken.

Disabling DSC is another essential for me as if you don’t clamp it monitors (my existing MSI one) can be a little funny with deciding whether to use it in my experience. Not sure if the MSI has this option - might not be an issue with this model anyway.

I don't think so but tbh I just bought it for the size/resolution after seeing I could grab one

@Personality+ dont forget to order a 2m cable if it doesn’t come with one.

HWU’s monitor channel recently went over the new 2m cables and I’ve ordered and got a certified one (the product in the vid) ready to go for £20, not bad!

I bought

Ubluker 16k 8k DisplayPort 2.1 Cable 80Gbps - 2 metres​

I already owned one so got another, hopefully it's all good.
