UE4 still doesn't do mGPU, and HDR has no performance impact, so really it's just that the Infiltrator demo is quite demanding at 4K.

Still using an old 27 "1440p non-gsync monitor so may have a closer look at these when they become available but suspicion is the res may be too high for me on a 27" monitor and think we're only now just about getting there with the current GPU grunt available and 4k 60hz

I can't imagine my disappointment at throwing £1.5k at one of these, only to watch it struggle to hit 60fps on a single card let alone 144fps.
By the time I got my hands on a GPU to drive it at 144hz the screen will be obsolete!

Maybe next generation we get cards with enough grunt to run such a screen properly.

Hard to say. Was there ever a doubling of performance from one gen to the next? It seems to run at around 35% increase from gen to gen?
34" 4k UltraWide 100fps would interest me more, but that's just my personal preference.
4K @ 144Hz really is laughable though. No game that you'd actually really WANT to run at 4K for the loveliness of it all would even get half that frame rate. They'd be far better off working on faster refresh 34" ultrawide... as mentioned, that really is the sweet spot, and being stuck at a 100hz overclock as the only options give us currently is starting to get really tired... and then they go and show a useless monitor like this which we know will have an utterly obscene price tag that makes ultrawides look cheap! I despair.

I wouldn't be negative about it. Stuff like this will drive the GPUs development as well as everyone will keep complaining that we can't use them properly.
Imagine the kind of lucrative market this will spawn as well, I bet NVidia, AMD and maybe even Intel will fight over who gets there first. Should be an interesting couple of years I'd say.
Don't get me wrong, I admire the tech, but it's more resemblant of one of those crazy concept cars you see the likes of Porsche or Ferrari putting out. I know this will actually be a purchasable monitor, but it's still pretty useless in the grand scheme of things. But yes, if some of that tech can filter down to more affordable practical models then great, and of course any boost to GPU development is a good thing. HDR is clearly a game changer also, and here to stay. It's just frustrating manufacturers seem to have hit the pause button on ultrawides... there is more than enough capability to push the refresh rate of new panels at that size, yet we are seeing nothing. Instead, they go and put out an even bigger 38" one that's even slower?! I don't get it, and I certainly don't see any reason why they can't be doing that in addition to this 4K 144hz malarkey!

We are not stuck at 100hz with overclock.
The Samsung panel used on the C34F791 is 100hz native (gsync version of it soon) so is the PG348Q at 100hz native.
And there is still the Microboard. Same panel with the CF791, but with better Freesync support and cheaper.
As for 4K 144hz, if it has Freesync & Gsync, with a nice healthy wide band starting from at least 40 all way to 144, it will be OK.
Even if we can get 60fps, it will be much smoother than 60hz 4K monitor
However those two Asus & Acer monitors, are coming with $1300 RRP. Add Asus tax, VAT and any changes on the exchange rates, and we are looking for something around £1400 at least.

well, these industries move at their own pace, don't they? The guys building monitors are not going to slow down just because the GPU makers have. That's how I look at it anyway, any progress is still progress and they will catch up eventually. By the time the GPUs arrive, the screens should have already been through at least 2 iterations which might improve them considerably.
Pretty sure the PG348Q isn't native 100hz. Have they changed the panel, because it was always the same as X34 which was native 60hz, which is a pretty ancient panel now by tech standards. I am not sure what the Samsung one uses and if it is genuinely native 100hz or not.
Yes, a 4K @ 144Hz monitor will be smoother than 60Hz, that goes without saying, but this monitor is going to be around £1500 I bet!
At the end of the day, I just know what I'd rather have, already owning an X34. I've tried 4K, no thanks... we're just not there with GPU tech yet.
Well, seems I was wrong on no 144Hz 21:9 panels upcoming... although have heard nothing about this lately. This is from back in June last year...

Does HDR need to be baked in to panel tech at the manufacturing stage? If so, I guess that means we won't be seeing it in these, unless they've gone back to the drawing board on them.

Samsung & Microboard are using brand new Samsung VA panel with quantum dot.
Yes, I've seen now that this is a brand new panel, albeit still at 100Hz. That may be a limitation of VA at this size, who knows.
LG going to make some 144hz 3440x1440 IPS panels this year.
And having great hopes that going to be perfect ones like the 38UC99.
Because according to Daniel_LG, they found the mechanical problem erradicating the issues they had with bleed.

The absolute biggest thing about this monitor is the full array local dimming backlight. Why is nobody talking about that?! We have only ever seen FALD in the absolute top end TVs so far and it is a game changer as far as black levels go. That asus monitor has a 384 LED array in a 27" monitor! Say goodbye to backlight bleed and poor black levels.
A 3440x1440 version of this monitor would be amazing.
