reddit.comHoly moly, that’s a beaut. What’s the specs on it?
2
32 inch 4K 144 Hz IPS panel, Mini-LED FALD with 1,152 zones, Quantum dot, Display HDR 1400, GSYNC Ultimate, Colours are basically no different from professional application color critical monitors.
Bunch of other stuff but those are the highlights.
2
4K at 144hz? Why would you pay that when no game on pc will hit true 4K at 144hz? 1440p is where you want to be. Not knocking you for the purchase. But Jesus Christ, thats way over priced. I get it, though
2
I tried a 1440p 270 Hz monitor before this and didn’t like it all. I’ve been on 4K since 2017 though so I think I just can’t go back anymore. Text wasn’t sharp and the desktop looked like a blur.
I can hit 100+ FPS on quite a few games with DLSS on.

Awesome. Still seems overpriced to me. But if it works for you, i can’t knock it. The beauty of play on a master race machine 😉

It might be, but there isn't really anything on the market right now in this class to compare it to. There is the Acer X32 which has no release date which will be for $3,500. In 5+ years Mini-LED might be more mainstream and accessible to the public and prices will come down. Honestly, I never felt like PC gaming was any better than modern console gaming until I got this thing. It totally changed my experience.

I can argue your statement all day. But, i won’t. Because I’m glad you made the console to pc switch as i did years ago. Welcome to the world of superior gaming! Enjoy it!

That monitor cost as much as my entire PC. I want one but for 3K? No thanks, it does look nice though
2
Yeah, I mean it's not for everyone for sure. It's pricey, but it was a price I could easily afford and I think monitors are a HUGE part of PC gaming that get overlooked a lot. If you can comfortably afford it and it doesn't give you that "this is worth my entire PC" feeling, I would totally recommend it.

Ya, I agree you don't want a cheap monitor. I've been very happy with my Samsung G7 with visuals and fps being great. I already have a 4K laptop but it's only 60hz. Sometime I'd like to get a real 4K monitor though.
1
G7 is a great monitor, I did have it for a brief period of time.. I've been researching monitors for a while now and tried basically most of the great monitors out there including the G9 NEO before I settled on this.
1
Nice, the G9 looks amazing as well but I don't have enough desk space for that monitor. Let alone having 2 monitors, so it won't get a second monitor until I figure out getting a new desk.
1
That's a tiny bit expensive, don't you agree?
1
It is pricy. Expensive is relative though and I do feel for most people this price range will make them freak out because traditionally monitors are though to be these cheap little things which you don't blow your budget on, it's all about the GPU right? People regularly drop 2K+ on GPUs. I think this is equal in value to a full rig with a 3080 Ti in how much it brings to the table in gaming value.

I'm sorry but no monitor is worth that amount of money,
My 65" 4k TV cost $850 18 months before it was $3000,
Give it another 24 months and 4k 120hz monitors will be close to the same price,
There's barely any games that can do 4k 120hz so even more reason paying that much right now is a pointless idea.
1
Yep, Mini-LED monitors will probably be more accessible to the public in 5+ years is my estimate. Acer has one coming out next year, the Acer X32, which will be priced at $3,500.
You can't compare a TV, or even OLED to this. That technology is way inferior for desktop gaming in my opinion. With DLSS, you can hit quite a few new titles on >100 FPS with DLSS if you have the GPU(s) to drive it, 3080/3080 Ti/3090.
1
But then you are not running 4k (yes it looks close enough to mostly notated (although there are still weirdness happening when using dlss),
I can also go to amazon right now and buy a decent 27" 4k 144hz for £600 5x that is just ridiculous,
Even if I was a millionaire I would say no monitor is worth that kind of money....... would I nuy it if I was a millionaire? Ofcourde I would but that doesn't stop it being ridiculous
1
IPS panels are super expencive, i paid 900 for a 43 inch 4k 144hz screen, but had to settle with a non IPS. i personally would never spend 3k on a monitor, but who am i to tell someone else how to spend their money.
1
No they really are not you can get a decent 32" 1440p 144hz IPS monitor for under $400 you can get a pretty amazing 4k 144hz 144hz IPS for under $800.
And posting on reddit you are going to get people on either side of the fence I am fairly on the side of don't pay more than £600 for a monitor and you can get a decent 4k 144hz monitor for that paying 5x that price is ridiculous to me,
My pc broke and I was forced to pay £1450 for a 6900xt which included import fees of £300 and that was a stupid idea to me and was only bought because it was that or not have a pc for 12 months while I wait for prices to stabilise (I'm disabled my pc is my only contact without the outside world)
1
i feel sad now.
1
I'm a little late but how's you're experience been with this?
Look in to purchasing one.

Gaming performance and visuals are unmatched, can’t go back to a normal screen. Only downside is fan noise.

I ordered one because i thought it would be a nice upgrade from 27GN950. But it was terrible. Blooming as if it was an beta product. I think i got a bad product in that regard tho. If you watch and play in hdr a lot yes otherwise definately recommend the lg 27“ 4k with high refresh rate they are also way faster panels in terms of pixel response. Eve monitor uses the same panel fyi. They are oxide ips panels which makes the smallest of bezels possible as well as you can see on them. Also the coating is absolute trash on this asus making text and stuff even blurier than 4k 32“ already is if you are used to apple displays. If you come from 110dpi or even less dpi display it can be fine for one ofc. Definately pg32uqx is a top tier monitor in terms of specs and the goto if you HDR alot but it has some crazy flaws for the price, i wish LG will bring out a nice semiglossy miniled with similar hdr specs in the near future. Will instabuy.

I rather spend half that on a Samsung led TV and saved me some money. Nice monitor though...
Honestly, I have an OLED TV and this is way better. Hands down the best image I’ve seen on a screen. Really hard to explain how much difference it makes. It’s mainly because of how it can get a LOT brighter in HDR in bright parts of the screen and still maintain amazing blacks. The G-Sync Ultimate makes things silky smooth and you literally feel like you can touch the game.
How's your display holding up? :3 I'm getting mine in 2 days!
Let me know how you like it. Considering purchasing this. Just got a Alienware R13 with a RTX 3090 so I’m wanting to try 4k. I currently have a RTX 2060 and a 1440p display with no HDR. So I feel like the jump is going to be massive all around… I just need to know if it’s worth the money..
