Come on Acer you guys have a 32 inch 4k gsync monitor while Asus doesn't. Bring out a 32 inch version of this baby and I'd gladly drop 2 or even 3k for it. Make it happen!
It's really the number of FALD zones that requires the thickness it has. It is also pretty deep. This is the ASUS version Couldn't find a better picture, but you can get an idea of its depth from the shadows and curve along the top.Is there a reason the bezel is so thick? Is that because it's a FALD monitor?
Aye. If I'm spending thousands of dollars I want some surface area!

Anandtech says it uses 4:2:2 chroma subsampling while gaming to stay within the bandwidth confines of DP 1.4. Isn't that a big no-no with monitors? Or does it not matter for gaming?
Is it just gaming? What about desktop usage at 144hz?
I know. Even the PG258Q, a 240 Hz display, caps out at 144 Hz for ULMB.From the press page I was rolling eyes at the below:
ULMB technology works only at 85 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 144 Hz and 200 Hz refresh rate
200 Hz u wot? Which monitor are we talking about or what are these guys smoking, 200Hz ULMB would be really nice.
True. It's not like we'll be getting close to 144 FPS in 4K anytime soon. Capping the refresh rate at 120 Hz will be fine by me. Hopefully the firmware will allow 4:4:4 chroma with HDR at 120 Hz or less.I believe DP 1.4 can do 8-bit (24-bit) 4:4:4 with 4K @ 120Hz. Beyond 120Hz, you'll need double cables due to bandwidth, or else you'll encounter compromises.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/11304/acer-announces-predator-x27-4k-144-hz-hdr-gsyncThis 4:2:2 without DSC sounds like pure speculation to me.
Unlikely just speculation, DisplayPort 1.3 doesn't have enough bandwidth for 144 Hz uncompressed. If my memory serves me right, DSC that version 1.4 uses is limited to 120 Hz max, but don't quote me on that, couldn't find confirmation.

"144 Hz (w/4:2:2 Choma Subsampling)"
Apparently it should be possible to use 96Hz with 4:4:4
Ah. Anandtech were listing that as if it came from a spec sheet, not as speculation. They've really gone downhill since Anand left.That is the speculation reference. They didn't state if Acer said that or not. There are too many variables unknown to do a bandwidth calculation. We don't even know if the new G-Sync chip is using DSC and at what color bit depth.
The most important thing with DP 1.4 is dynamic stream compression. The question is if this monitor has DP 1.4 as advertise, why wouldn't they use DSC? DP 1.4 can do 4K @ 120 Hz 4:4:4 with HDR and 10-bit color. You could bump it up to 144 Hz if you use 8-Bit color.
And they are almost perfect for me too , but how will the black levels be for 27'' 4k gaming monitor with ( IPS + FALD ) VS current Dell UP3017Q OLED and C7 OLED TV .Putting aside the price, the specs are almost perfect for me, except for the screen size.
I'd prefer to have those glorious 4k pixels on a screen that is at least 32"
