Interesting.The panel in question:

I have no idea. It's been like that since August, maybe earlier.Interesting.
With only one supplier listed, does that mean the early stock is going straight to the Chinese market - or is it the first step in a chain that could go to ASUS +others?
Absolutely zero. I keep asking the Acer rep at least once a month and she keeps saying the release date in unknown. Although in August she clearly said, that preliminary it would come out in the beginning of 2021. I would wait for CES on January 11. Maybe there will be more interesting monitors to wait for...Anyone happen to hear any updated rumors on when this monitor (or the Acer version) might be out? Thx
Thanks. CES is nice to see new tech but I feel like anything that is announced at CES is still a year out in terms of the PC monitor space. This Asus monitor was announced at last years CES and it still isn't out yet.Absolutely zero. I keep asking the Acer rep at least once a month and she keeps saying the release date in unknown.

Personally though, if the Acer X34S comes out this month - I will try to settle with it and call it a day for a long time. 200hz, hardware gsync, full srgb support in every mode possible, factory calibrated dE<2, native 10 bit panel... It can do full RGB (4:4:4) resolution @200hz with 8bit color. Plenty good for SDR. And for HDR you go down to 175Hz for 4:4:4 10 bit.

:-(From my understanding from additional communication with the rep - nothing new (with hardware Gsync module) will come out in December and probably in January either. No X32 or X34S. I suppose Asus follows the similar trend.
Yeah.
It's already an Honoree, despite being announced at the 2020 CES, and unlikely to ship any time soon.So I figured I would start a mock betting pool for this monitor. What are the chances we hear anything about this monitor at CES next week?
Heh.... I must have missed that... :-/ **shocker** Winning all sorts of 'awards' but not even close to being a product a year later...It's already an Honoree, despite being announced at the 2020 CES, and unlikely to ship any time soon.
Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX is a CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree (displayspecifications.com)
The panel got listed in the awards part - honoree or something.Well the Asus CES presentation went by and no mention of the PG32UQX. Hopefully some news breaks in the next couple of days. I just want a little bit of an update at least....
If I'm not mistaken, Acer is owned by AU Optronics, who manufactures the panel that is going into these. Both ASUS and Acer are Taiwan-based companies and get first pick on panels, typically.Well, Viewsonic just announced a model using the same panel/tech as Asus and Acer and saying Summer 2021 availability for theirs. I wonder if the Asus/Acer ones will come to market first or if in fact, all of them will come out around the same time. Disappointingly, still only Displayport 1.4 and HDMI 2.0. Still nothing about DSC support either so that's probably not going to happen either.
ViewSonic Elite XG321UG with 32″ IPS Panel, 4K, 144Hz, G-sync Ultimate and Mini LED Backlight
That panel and the ViewSonic Elite, as well as the Acer, are presumably all AUO's M320QAN02.3 design. From some of what I've read, a better expectation is June/July in the US & EU. They all (well, at least Asus and VS) suggested a Q1 2021 release, but given Covid and the US/China tension later is more likely.Lol the non FALD version barely gets announced and already has an expected release date of end of Q1.

well i guess we all do have patience since we have already been waiting over a year since this monitor has been announced and it looks like we have another 5-6 months to go...That panel and the ViewSonic Elite, as well as the Acer, are presumably all AUO's M320QAN02.3 design.

Edit: (Unless I've missed something? You've been on top of this as much as I these past few months)
Needless to say - exciting times for those of us who want 'the total package' upgrade; as long as we have patience that is!
Well I just saw on tftcentral that the Asus ProArt version of this monitor (It appears to have the same high refresh rate panel with 1152 zones) has a bit of an update. The Asus website says 'coming soon'. It also looks like it was updated with HDMI 2.1. Hopefully the delay in this gaming version PG32UQX is because they added HDMI 2.1 as well.

When Asus puts "coming soon", that usually means between one and two Presidential elections.
My PG27UQ does 4K 120 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4, so I don't know what you're talking about.I kind of find advertising a panel capable of 120hz at 4k to be deceptive when you cannot get a 4k 120hz signal in to the panel.
Also - yeah they announced it... But they sure have not offered it for sale anywhere in the free world.
This is in relation to 32 inch panels - some don't have the right connectionsMy PG27UQ does 4K 120 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Which models are you referring to? You say "deceptive" advertising, so there must be a particular model you are talking about.This is in relation to 32 inch panels - some don't have the right connections
There was one - but I don't remember it exactly and am disinclined to research it again.Which models are you referring to? You say "deceptive" advertising, so there must be a particular model you are talking about.
This isn’t true. Maybe you’re talking about the need to drop chroma level on some of them at the upper end, or the need to drop colour depth. But all of them have at least DP 1.4 which is capable of 4K at 144hz. Some will even have hdmi 2.1 which should allow the same without colour sacrificeThere was one - but I don't remember it exactly and am disinclined to research it again.
I spend a lot of time looking at 32 inch monitors
So on its surface dropping quality is an admission that 'you can't really do it'.This isn’t true.

<sigh>Ok so you ARE talking about the necessary colour sacrifices on some screens if you want to use 4K at 120Hz. But that’s not what you originally said which I think is where there’s confusion above
my caution to members that they should look at the details before purchasing to know for certain that they are getting what they want. That the panel is exactly as advertised - and not with some hidden compromise built in
Yes I agree some have that limitation, there’s. I debate about that. Although quite a few now also use DSC to overcome all those problems anyway so it’s not an issue in more recent generation options overall. But the debate above is about the unsubstantiated claim that there is a screen that just fundamentally lacks the right input so cannot get to 4K at 120Hz even with colour drops or anything else. But that doesn’t existWell, the max supported resolution of gaming monitors that are advertised as 4k 120hz is really 4k 4:2:2 120hz, or 4k 96hz if you want the full 4:4:4 color. That's what manufacturers don't mention in order to sell the half assed 4k 120hz gaming monitors to gamers. The exception are the rare Acer models that have double DP inputs and the LG OLEDs that support HDMI 2.1. That's why everyone is so crazy about the CX48 btw.
