Not sure if folks are interested in this sort of thing but thought it might be helpful;

Reference thread for all the displays revealed at Computex 2016.

A small list to start off, just the ones I've caught wind of so far, please post any you're aware of if they're yet mentioned.

ASUS Designo Curve MX34VQ : "ASUS Designo Curve MX34VQ is a 34-inch, ultra-wide UWQHD (3440 by 1440) curved monitor with 1800R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio to provide immersive and realistic images. Its elegant, frameless design makes a beautiful addition to any home or office workspace. In addition to stunning visuals and striking design, ASUS Designo Curve MX34VQ features ASUS SonicMaster audio that incorporates premium Harmon Kardon acoustic technology and has two 8-watt stereo speakers for incredible sound. The base of the monitor serves as a wireless charging pad for Qi-enabled mobile devices."

ASUS BM320 : "32-inch panel that covers 100% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, and Acer says its lack of bezels on three sides allows for a "seamless visual experience" when multiple units are used together."

Asus ROG Swift PG248Q: 24-inch 1920x1080 TN panel, 1ms gtg, gsync

Asus ProArt 5K UHD; 32", 5120 x 288, "wide color gamut with 100% Rec. 709, 99.5% Adobe RGB and 95% DCI-P3 color-space support"

Acer XR342CK Gaming Monitor: "curved 34-inch 21:9 panel with a 1900R curvature and delivers immersive, picture-perfect visuals. Special features like 6-axis color adjustment and DTS® Sound deepen the audio/visual impact, while a customizable ambient light at the lower edge of the monitor provides lighting effects that match the desired mood. The base can swivel from -30 to +30 degrees, allowing users to easily adjust the monitor to their desired viewing angle."

Acer H277HU USB Type-C Monitor: "part of the H7 series monitors, which are among the world’s first to support USB Type-C, so that users can conveniently transfer data and display content from notebooks or smartphones, while charging them at the same time through just one cable. With a premium ZeroFrame design, diamond-cut and brushed-metal stand, the 27-inch H277HU boasts WQHD (2560 x 1440) display resolution, superior audio with Acer TrueHarmony and DTS™ Sound."

Getting warmer, ASUS! Can't wait to check this out.
 
This one looks interesting. Said to be 75hz according to Reddit thread.

Acer XR382CQK

37.5" (3840x1600)
24:10
IPS
Adaptive Sync (Freesync?)
75hz (Reddit*)

Also, an updated Acer X34P which is discussed in the Reddit link.

It's worth mentioning that the panel type has since been corrected from prior reporting. It's IPS as opposed to TN. LCD and TFT Monitor News

The prototype is based on a TN Film IPS-type technology panel (AU Optronics AHVA), but remember this is a very early proof of concept. Asus will be limited by the panels available as well don't forget and so the choice of available panels and technologies will improve over time as 4K @ 144Hz becomes possible.

No reason to get excited yet, knowing ASUS it will be at least another 12 to 18 month wait before this actually hits the market.
 
Nothing exciting this year. I didn't expect it to be really as all 1440p 144hz are still quite new and freash and 4k high refresh is a few years from now till it reaches the market. And imagine the cost!
 
I will add some more from what I saw today:

Asus PG248Q: 23.8" 1080p 180HZ G-Sync Monitor, TN (Slated for release within the fortnight)
Asus PG258Q: 24.5" 1080p 240hz G-Sync Monitor, TN (slated for Q3 release)

XB251Q: 24.2" 1080p 240hz G-Sync monitor, TN

(The spec shows that it is 'up to 240hz', the guy at the stand said that it will natively support 240hz, and most of the popular refresh rates in between)

Z271: 27" 1800R 1080p 144hz G-Sync, VA

Z301C: 30" 1800R 2560x1080 200hz VA

My apolgies for the absolutely abyssmal quality of the pictures, they turned out worse than expected

That Asus ProArt screen is pretty impressive. The specs mirror Dell's UP3216Q save for the 5K, though. I'm mostly interested to see if this new panel is the first one over 30" with decent color uniformity.

Holy shit: a 16:10 ultrawide panel. Looks interesting, but I imagine the unconventional aspect ratio is going to get even less love than 21:9.

That Acer is the first screen I have seen that could replace my 4960x1600 PLP setup. Wow looks nice! Now if they could update it to 120hz and DP 1.3/1.4 that would be even better....
 
Might be 75hz with freesync, that's pretty awesome.

Still, yes, 120hz and DP 1.3/1.4 would have been the icing on the cake :)
 
No, the only super high refresh monitors are the 1080p/180hz, 1080p/240hz or 2560x1080/200hz, all of these are G-Sync.

3440x1440p still are only available in 100hz, but I reckon they'll eventually release a super high refresh version in the future.
 
I presume most or all of these are running displayport 1.4, although some mention 1.3 which isn't even a thing as near as I can tell. Unfortunately vendors only seem to let one search for display port and not specific versions.

1.3 was a thing, but it was quickly superseded by 1.4 before any displays or hardware came out as far as I'm aware. Pascal is equipped with DP 1.4 outputs, but Polaris 10 has DP 1.3.

But if that 35" panel can do 200 Hz at 3440x1440 with G-Sync, then it would have to be using DP 1.4 to have enough bandwidth.
 
I wonder if somebody will announce a 31.5'' 8K4K (7680 x 4320) monitor, with the Samsung panel.
So far, nothing turned up at Computex. Maybe it isn't ready yet. In any case it will be friggin' expensive
 
I guess we wait for the production and reviews. I'm eyeing on the ACER but those bezels if off putting.

DisplayPort 1.4 = DisplayPort 1.3 plus data compression (doesn’t increase the overall transmission bandwidth). All GPUs with support for DP 1.3 will support DP 1.4. The market will jump from DP 1.2 to 1.4, skipping DP 1.3 entirely.
