In this review, we look at a beast of a monitor, both in specifications and size as we review the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG43UQ, we will take a look at Ultra HD slash HDR gaming in on this 43" screen. This 3840x2160 pixels monitor can handle 144Hz combined with GSYNC. And there are no chroma subsampling issues either as DSC is supported.

I have a 4K 43 inch monitor (bdm4350) and can confirm that this is the right size if you want both 4K and no scaling.
Anything smaller and you will need 125%/150% to comfortably read native fonts.

I'm personally doubting what I'm going to get next as a PC display.
For a few years I had :
28" 30-60Hz G-Sync 4K Monitor
55" 60Hz 4K TV
Recently I switched my PC monitor and now I have:
27" 48-144Hz VRR 1440P Monitor (IPS)
55" 60Hz 4K TV
And I never use my 4K TV for gaming, even if I'm playing a joystick game like MHW. I'm more comfortable at 27" 1440p
28" 4K is a bit of a waste, probably 32" is a nice spot for 4K monitor.
(Except for text/reading tasks, for text, any 4K 13-32" monitor will always give you a nice PPI detail).

Really nice monitor (and review of course), thanks Hilbert. I have the older "little brother" PG27UQ and I'd like to know if there really is no fan in PG43UQ and if PG43UQ uses FALD to achieve the high brightness. Thanks again

This is a good edge-lit HDR1000 monitor. The problem with it is that it's way too expensive. I can find now where I live the 55inch LG C9 Oled at around 1100 euro VAT included. The problem is the size though.
The CX48 inch OLED soon to be released will also be around 1500 euros, so the price for this one is just unrealistic. For 900-1000 euro, it might be a good buy, even though edge-lit HDR is really not "real" HDR.

Although there is no way I'm buying this (way too expensive for features I don't really care about), I do actually like having a 43" display on my desk. It's kinda stupid for anything productive but it is great for media. Makes you feel much more immersed in the content.
