does it have DP 1.2 with single or multi stream transport?
If it has MST it would be the first UHD monitor out this year with MST...

Is this Acer and the Benq BL3201PT using the same IPS panel, or different ones?
Amazon Marketplace. Coming from Germany.
If they are using the same panel it would be weird because the Acer has been available in Europe for a few months while the Benq doesn't exist anywhere. Also the Acer is only like $870 in Asia so Acer can release the product cheaper than Benq using AUO's panels? Doesn't make too much sense.

Available "now" in the U.S.
Cancelled my orders with CDW and PC Connection because they went from "availability in 7 days" to "availability: call." Too bad because at $880 and $907 they were much cheaper than newegg which after tax is about $1080 shipped.
Looks like its available at Newegg now. No surprise the first merchant that gets it is newegg, with 8 dead pixel return policy! This reminds me of the first release of Doublesight 26" IPS monitors, Newegg only, and no surprise many of them had dead pixels. I highly suspect the batch must have a lot of dead pixels if Amazon closed their entry for this item right before release and Acer decided on newegg to launch their product in the US. Either way, I could probably just return it with some excuse like "backlight bleed" with newegg right? In for 1
This is 60hz, right? Does it feature HDMI 2.0? Really tempted to pull the trigger on this one. Provantage looks like they have a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. Resellerratings are good on them too.
After seeing a 4k 28" monitor at Microcenter, I am debating whether to cancel my Dell 27" 4k due to scaling issues and order a 32" 4k.... If I hadn't gotten the Dell for so cheap..... Provantage has the Acer for $867 but you have to pay return shipping which will run $75 - $100 with insurance.
We've had 60hz since 2013 technically, except they were MST instead of SST displays. No 4K monitor is expected to have HDMI 2.0 in 2014, after all only 4 TV lines have that so far. It's a way to save money but I also believe it's due to the fact that there's no 4:4:4 4K chip currently that can do HDCP 2.2 as well.
Good point, but I meant 60hz without multiple connections. It is, correct?
Someone in the LG 34" 21:9 display thread mentioned that it's technically hdmi 2.0 in capability, though it's not advertised. I wondered if it was the same for this panel.
Its a single tiled display based on all the evidence so far.
As far as the LG 21:9 being HDMI 2.0 lolno. I had the 31MU97 which is a newer display and it could only do 30hz through hdmi. You could probably overclock it slightly but a 60hz custom res just give a black screen. HDMI 2.0 has not been implemented in any monitor so far this year.
Gotcha. This post had me thinking it might be:

The Benq seems to have AHVA panel, this Acer has IPS?
The Acer is not in stock in my country, not sure when it will get released, Benq will be out in December.
I don't think anyone else is manufacturing 32" 4K PC panels so the Acer is probably either using the AUO AHVA panel or the Samsung PLS panel. We'll see soon.
The acer website and any other site claim the B326HK is using an IPS panel, so it cannot be samsung's PLS panel otherwise they would state it as PLS not IPS.
For anyone out there who is awake at this hour, NewEgg just emailed out their Thanksgiving / BF promo. At 12:00am PST (3:00am EST) they will be dropping the price of the 32" Acer B326HK to $699.
Is there a code required to unlock this price?
