ASUS ROG Swift PG35VQ: Massive 35" 3440x1440 200Hz HDR

Yeah, people who think 60FPS is the goal post AREN'T BUYING THIS MONITOR. you need more than a 1080 Ti to get your money's worth.

Just having an ultrawide at over 100hz is a huge benefit. I'll be fine with my single 1080 Ti for now, there's hardly any game that supports SLI anyway.

One of the big problems with curved monitors is that you can't put them in portrait mode.

A monitor is going to last 2-3 video card generations. G-Sync and 200 Hz gives video card performance room to grow.
They are about $1300 but no HDR or Quantum Dots or G-Sync, just Freesync.

"4K" or "2160p" ultrawide would actually be 5040x2160 in the 21:9 aspect ratio. In the realm of computer monitors we deal in Hor+, not Vert-. The linked monitor would be a 2560x1600 or "1600p" ultrawide.

Interested, however panel type and pixel response time aren't stated, oh and the MSRP. Guessing this will be around 2K USD....sigh. Looks like an amazing ultra wide, hope ASUS has dealt with their QC issues on their previous ROG 34 inch ultrawide.

You can pretty much count on it being AHVA. Wouldn't be surprised if it was another AUO panel either. I believe all the 100z ultrawides, right now, are AUO AHVA panels.

Uh oh, (my wallet shudders) you certainly are not helping my rationalization process in regards to why I should wait to buy this monitor... You are throwing kerosene on the fire of "Get it Now". ;)

Third paragraph in TFA:

The monitors' new 35" LCD panel was designed in concert with AU Optronics, delivering the ultimate in HDR and gaming capabilities in a curved 21:9 wide-aspect ratio.

No reason to think it wouldn't be based on an AHVA panel given the information we have.

By the way: The ASUS PG348Q and Acer X34/X34P both use an LG AH-IPS panel, not an AUO AHVA panel.
 
Once again, I am having trouble locking down the panel type, but ASUS may have checked off all the right boxes here for gamers who are looking to update their display: the PG35VG is big, refreshes at 200Hz, offers tear-free gameplay courtesy of G-Sync, and even includes localized dimming technology for deeper blacks. Acer also has a take on this panel with their Predator X35; both monitors are covered here in an NVIDIA posting.

The ROG Swift PG35VQ conforms to the HDR10 standard and draws from both an expansive palette of colors and a wide range of contrast. We employ quantum dots to broaden the spectrum of tones the display can produce, making gradients smoother and images more lifelike overall. Using these luminescent nanoparticles allows the monitor to support the wider DCI-P3 color space typically associated with cinema projectors. In addition to satisfying gamers, the PG35VQ is likely to entice content creators who want to mix work and play on the same display.

It's cute that people think of 35" as being "massive."

They just checked all the boxes I needed to upgrade from my Samsung 40ju7500 . Little smaller but with gsync and 200hz. I'm in. Sure it will be over 1k , but if it's not to much over 1k I'll be picking one up.

It doesn't check all the boxes I'd need. I won't go for anything less than 40" in size and 4K resolution. 200Hz and G-Sync is on my list of desires, but the rest doesn't cause me to pitch a tent.

The 34" ROG and Predators are still selling for ~$1200 so I doubt these will cost anything less than $1500. But how many 1080 Ti's will be necessary to power these beasts? This is one expensive build.

I'm thinking $1,699.99 to $1,899.99 on launch.

512 FALD zones... Probably going to cost the same or close to the 27" 4K. I'm going to say between $1,500 and $2,000.

A single Ti is plenty for 3440x1440.

Indeed, 3440x1440 isn't as demanding as people think it is.

Probably another AHVA (IPS-type) panel since it's AUO. We haven't seen any "high-end" displays use a TN since the PG278Q and S2716DG. Plus, I'm pretty sure there has never been an ultrawide display that uses a TN panel to date. The gamma shift would start to be a problem with that aspect ratio.

Yes, the gamma shift would indeed be a problem at that size.

Getting close to the mark... I currently have a HP Omen 32" 2560x1440 with a GTX 1080... Upgrading to a 1080 Ti and getting this monitor is very tempting but I really would like the same monitor specs at 40" since I really love having more vertical real estate. At 35" diagonal, it's still too skinny.

Agreed. I tried looking at 34"+ ultra-wide screen monitors after my first 48" Samsung failed on me. I wanted to like those monitors but felt they were too small and the lack of vertical screen real estate is a huge turn off productivity wise.

They're curved. Fail.

I don't mind the curve beyond 34".

$2000 minimal easy.

I doubt it. Close to 2k? I wouldn't doubt it, but not more than that.

Why only 1440p? I refuse to step down in resolution.

If we must use an X:9 size ration instead of X:10, then give me 21:9 with 2160P and cables with appropriate bandwidth. At least that would give me a solid reason to upgrade my videocards even without playing first person shooters.

Agreed.

Thanks for both bits of information. I missed them mentioning AUO in the article, was skimming over it while not quite fully awake yet.

It isn't the goal post. It's a minimum standard. I'd buy a 100Hz+ 4K monitor the instant they became available if they supported G-Sync, 100Hz+ refresh rates and had a screen size over 40".

When are tv manufacturers gunna do 4k 120hz native @40ish inches? :( tired of ridiculously priced monitors. I'd love to jump on the high hz bandwagon but I'm not giving up my firstborn or the real estate on my screen for it.

Never. The demand for it is too small. The majority of content on TV is consumed at 24 or 59.94 Hz. Besides, why actually spend the money to make the screen function at a higher refresh rate when you can just fake it and profit off people who don't know any better?
 
Wouldn't you be able to see the individual pixels at that size.
No, considering it's about the same PPI as a 27" 2560x1440 screen (107 PPI vs. 109 PPI) or a 40" 4K screen (110 PPI). I don't start noticing pixels until around 80 PPI.
 
at 34 wider. Curved is a must. I didn't think I would like that aspect of my ASUS PG348Q, but damn, I really love this display. gaming or productivity. best IT purchase Ive made in a while
