Yo, i've got an asus XG438Q that is going back to asus rma today due to upscaling hdr issues causing blocky pixilated blacks, windows not detecting hdr certification, netflix not recognising it's 4k or hdr, monitor sometimes not turning on.

It's 4k hdr 120 hz but to run 10bit it has to run bellow 98hz (stupid i know)

So please spec me a monitor that is 4k with good hdr for gaming and watching movies? Seems the market is lacking in this segment. Budget is no issue
 
Assuming you have a modern GPU (30 series etc) that supports HDMI 2.1 at 48" OLED TV might be a good shout if you want decent blacks and to use it for movies too.

Other that you are probably looking at getting another IPS panel do just make sure to get one that supports DSC to avoid the bandwith issues you had with your XG438Q. I think you need a 20 series card to support DSC.
 
You ar ein the same boat as me. I have ben waiting years for a decent 4K 32" - 36" HDR high refresh monitor. I would not touch less than HDR 600 with a barge pole. If all you need is 4K, decent colour redproduction and high refresh then either of those monitors are good. But you said HDR and HDR 400 really isn't HDR.
 
Yeah i am going to wait and see what the new acer is like, hopefully it'll come out in a few months.

Just had a nightmare RMA - instead of asus collecting my XG438Q, they delivered a 24" 1080p monitor with a completely different rma number on the box. The delivery driver refused to collect my faulty monitor and walked off :cry:

Been on the phone to asus and they have no idea what's happened and have had to escalate it to management. Maybe i can blag a free upgrade to the newer version!

Would expect full announcement during CES.
Hopefully panel (M320QAN02.8) has been updated to modern response times from that in Asus PG32UQ (M320QAN02.3) and even slower one (M320QAN02.6) in PG32UQX.

Waited like two years for something to replace 8 years old Dell U3014.
Innolux panel Gigabytes are all just semi-wide gamut compared to it, LG's 27" would be smallish besides just DCI-P3 gamut and M320QAN02.3 monitors have outdated response times.
