ASUS ROG Swift 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitor listed for over $3000

Anthony Garreffa | May 10, 2018 7:50 AM CDT

The hottest gaming monitor on the market is still in the making, but with each passing month we're getting closer to its release and now we're seeing a new listing for the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ.

ASUS ROG Swift 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitor listed for over $3000

ASUS might not show much off in its product name, but the ROG Swift PG27UQ is a 27-inch 4K 144Hz monitor with NVIDIA's G-Sync technology. The monitor is listed on sicomputers.nl for a huge $3000, but this will give you HDR10, 1000 nits of brightness, direct LED backlighting, and 384 zones with quantum dot film. We are all here for 3840 x 2160 at 144Hz, though... right?!

We should expect NVIDIA to fully unveil and have them showcased during Computex 2018 which is only a few weeks away, and I'm sure ASUS and Acer will be showing them off in force during the show.

Samsung's new 34-foot Onyx: portable 4K cinema screens

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 25, 2018 7:41 PM CDT

Samsung has just announced its new range of 4K LED theatrical screens that it has branded Onyx, promising cinema goers, directors and studio bosses to enjoy pure blacks on-screen.

The new Samsung Onyx comes in at a large 34-feet with full 4096 x 2160 resolution that provides a much higher-end image with improved colors than the normal 2K projection. Onyx can pump out 2K, 4K, 3D, and HDR with Samsung unveiling the first US locations for Onyx screens at Pacific Theatres Winnetka in Chatsworth, California, just north of Los Angeles.

Samsung is aiming at a few different markets with its Onyx screen, as it is really just a super massive 4K TV that will get built into not just movie theater walls, but other places as well. When it's used in a cinema, it rocks a custom JBL sound system that ensures people will get out-of-the-box audio. The company hopes to see it used for dine-in theatrical experiences, eSports and live gaming events, and more.

ASUS/Acer 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitors listed: costs over $3000

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 12, 2018 7:35 PM CDT

NVIDIA will propel themselves into a totally new era of enthusiast gaming displays with their new 4K 144Hz G-Sync HDR displays coming out this year, something they've been working closely with ASUS and Acer on.

ASUS/Acer 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitors listed: costs over $3000

These new displays will arrive as 27-inch super-powered gaming displays with a native 4K resolution, super-quick 144Hz refresh rate, HDR technology and dashed with G-Sync. We have heard prices of somewhere in the $1500 to $2000 range, but according to some European retail listings for the new 4K 144Hz displays we could be looking at over $3000 for first adopters.

Acer's upcoming Predator X27 seems the cheapest so far with a converted price of between $2500 and $3068 while ASUS has the even more premium side of things covered with their ROG Swift PG27UQ that is priced between $2500 and $3607. Incredible price, but these monitors will be the most premium (lots of) money can buy.

NVIDIA's next-gen 4K 144Hz displays to launch in April

Anthony Garreffa | Mar 21, 2018 5:58 PM CDT

I exclusively revealed a few weeks ago that NVIDIA would be unveiling their new GeForce GTX 20 series graphics cards during the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) that kicks off next week... and now we have more proof of that actually happening.

NVIDIA's next-gen 4K 144Hz displays to launch in April

NVIDIA teased during GDC this week that ASUS and Acer will be releasing their next-gen 4K 144Hz G-Sync HDR gaming displays, in the form of the Acer Predator X27 and ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ. Both of these displays rock a native 3840 x 2160 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, G-Sync technology, and HDR.

NVIDIA said that G-Sync HDR-capable displays will ship by fiscal Q1 2018 that ends on April 29, but without graphics cards that can run 4K 144Hz on the market, what will NVIDIA do? The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti isn't good enough for single-card 4K 60FPS in most AAA games without turning details down, so we'll need some next-gen GPUs... right? ;)

ASUS/Acer 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitors should arrive in Q3 2018

Anthony Garreffa | Mar 14, 2018 12:13 AM CDT

I'm sure you remember those delicious high-res/high refresh rate gaming displays that NVIDIA teased last year, both rocking NVIDIA's variable refresh rate technology: G-Sync.

ASUS/Acer 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitors should arrive in Q3 2018

Well, a new report teases that we might see these new 4K 144Hz and 3440x1440 200Hz gaming displays from ASUS and Acer in Q3 2018, in the same period that NVIDIA is expected to throw its next-gen Turing GPU architecture into mass production. They will join NVIDIA's upcoming Big Format Gaming Display (BFGD) that will see 65-inch 4K 120Hz HDR TVs with G-Sync enter the living room.

TFT Central says that the ASUS PG27UQ and Acer X27 will be released in Q3 2018, with both of these displays pushing 4K 144Hz, while the UltraWide 3440x1440 200Hz displays in the ASUS PG35VQ and Acer X35 will arrive in Q4 2018.

The MPG27CQ has a few differences over the 1080p sibling, with 400 nits (up from 250 on the MPG27C), and 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports over the 2 x HDMI 1.4 ports as well as full USB 3.1 connectivity versus the USB 2.0 + USB 3.1 connectivity on the 1080p panel.

MSI has teamed with SteelSeries on the new Optix MPG displays, with MSI President Joseph Hsu saying: "The integration of SteelSeries Engine with the Optix MPG Series Curved Gaming Monitors brings PrismSync Illumination and real-time game alerts which offer an even greater level of immersive gameplay.

Anthony Garreffa | Feb 22, 2018 9:37 PM CST

8K TVs are coming much sooner than expected, with AU Optronics promising it will be shipping 8K TVs in sizes that will range between 65-85 inches in the first half of this year.

Liao said that larger-than-65-inch 8K TVs will start gaining momentum this year, with 10% of TVs in 2020 being large 8K-capable TVs. Liao added that AUO will begin "volume production" of 8K TVs soon in order to cash in on this "emerging trend".

ASUS debuts a bezel-free monitor kit at CES 2018

Steven Bassiri | Jan 14, 2018 7:33 PM CST

CES 2018 - With multi-monitor gaming setups, bezels are like a wrench tossed into the gaming experience.

ASUS debuts a bezel-free monitor kit at CES 2018

Instead of one large slightly curved display, you get three displays with easy to notice separation. Some vendors have tried to minimize the width of bezels, but separation is still visible. Now there is a solution to this issue.

As you can see on the left, ASUS is using three monitors with typical bezel sizes. However, we if take a look at the image on the right, we find that the bezel has totally disappeared. ASUS will sell the kit soon, and it is adjustable so you can use it on different monitors. However, you need the monitors to be at the same exact height.

Samsung launches 55-inch 4K digital whiteboard

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 9, 2018 7:36 PM CST

CES 2018 - Samsung has announced its new Flip digital whiteboard, or as it likes to refer to it - an "interactive digital flip chart", because that's so much better.

Samsung launches 55-inch 4K digital whiteboard

Samsung's new Flip is a 55-inch 4K display that acts as a digital whiteboard, allowing for up to 4 people to draw and/or add content at once, whether that's from using the touchscreen or a dual-sided pen. The display can be flipped vertically, which is perfect for details and lists, and if you want it in a permanent state it can be wall-mounted.

If you want to connect devices up to the Samsung Flip digital whiteboard, you can go wireless or through USB so that you can connect to a smartphone or PC.

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 8, 2018 8:48 PM CST

CES 2018 - Sony has announced their latest 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector, or the LSPX-A1 at CES 2018, something the company will be launching in the spring for $30,000.

Sony's new 4K projector blasts 120-inch screen, costs $30K

Sony's new LSPX-A1 is built to be placed only 9.6 inches from the wall, projecting a 4K image at up to 120 inches, which is not too damn bad at all. Sony's latest last projector reaches 2500 lumens peak brightness, so it's not lacking there either.

Sony says that the new projector packs the company's "unique 4K SXRD projection and HDR technology" in order to blast the 4K video "with unprecedented detail, color and contrast".
