The monitor has a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 4ms (GTG) response time and 178/178 degree viewing angles. Featuring ASUS Aura Sync lighting on the back and a customizable light signature projection for gaming-inspired aesthetics, the ROG Strix XG32VQ comes with 2x USB 3.0 ports, 1x HDMI 2.0 port, 1x mini DisplayPort and 1x DisplayPort 1.2 input ports. Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing yet.
- 32 inch 1800R curved gaming monitor with ultra-fast 144Hz refresh rate designed for professional gamers and immersive gameplay
- 125% sRGB color space gamut for a wider range of lifelike, vibrant colors and Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) technology for no-tearing visuals

- Features an ergonomically designed stand to offer extensive swivel, tilt, and height adjustment
Gaming-inspired aesthetics
Integrated ASUS Aura Sync lighting technology simplifies the process of connecting ROG Strix XG32VQ or XG35VQ to other Aura-enabled components and peripherals, and also makes it easier to synchronize the lights with music or game sound effects. Synchronization is now easily achieved by installing the Aura Sync software on a laptop or desktop.
Additionally, the exclusive Light Signature projection kit allows for the creation and customization of light-projection effects. It includes two ROG logo covers and one blank cover for creating customized light projections that show each gamer’s unique style.
Seamless gameplay
ROG Strix XG35VQ has a 100Hz refresh rate to give the player the upper hand in first-person-shooters, racers, real-time strategy, role-playing and sports titles. And for fast-paced games played at the highest visual settings, ROG Strix XG32VQ has an astounding 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring that everything looks buttery smooth and completely lag-free.
Both models feature Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync™) technology that minimizes screen tearing, choppy frame rates, display stutter and input lag. Additionally, ROG Strix XG35VQ features exclusive ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur technology makes objects in motion look sharper, delivering more fluid and responsive gameplay.
Gamer-centric enhancements
ROG Strix XG32VQ and XG35VQ feature ASUS-exclusive game-enhancing features developed with input from professional gamers. The GamePlus hotkey provides instant access to different crosshair options, an onscreen timer, a frames-per-second counter, and a display alignment feature. GameVisual provides up to seven preset display modes to optimize visuals for different types of games. The DisplayWidget utility software lets users easily and quickly tweak settings or configure ASUS GameVisual, App Sync™ and blue light filters.
The price is £549, 629 Euro and 599 USD.

Completely agree, I would have bought it for Christmas XD

I'm not a fan at all of curved displays with 16:9 aspect ratio... also, the size is a bit too big too for that resolution. 1440p is best at 27", or maybe 30 (though I believe only 1600p displays came with this size).

Na, Gsync isnt needed at 144hz or above. I've had gsync on my previous display, now i have 144hz freesync with a gtx1070, i see no difference in tearing at all, as in i dont see the tearing at 144hz. The bonus of not having Gsync, less cost, better image quality on desktop(no scanlines) and no weird blinking of buttons and stuff in games.
If you ask me, gsync is obsolete, unless you use displays at 100hz or below i dont see the idea of sync tech like freesync or gsync.
At 144 and above, no sync tech please.

My Dell U2711 is 2560 x 1440 60Hz and 7 years old. Dell also sold a U3011 which was the 30" version which was 2560 x 1600. I'm not seeing any exciting progress with the NVidia card & monitor scenario.

I too have a U2711 for the same time as you and was thinking precisely about the U3011
... fantastic IPS (not the backlight bleeding messes that are out nowadays), it just sucks that it doesn't have higher refresh, that is pretty much the only reason why I want to upgrade.

I was using DELL UWP3008 10 years ago,so I fully agree with you that we are lacking progress in monitor development.

You are forgeting one very important thing, and thats freesync/gsync main advantage is for FPS bellow set monitor refresh rates. Even 1080Ti is not able handle new games at WQHD and 144 Hz.

You mate are as dumb as they come. You either can't afford a g-sync lcd or need glasses.Once again you read about people that can't afford a good LCD and have no idea about what they are talking about.

Wrong wrong wrong . 100Hz is the minimum you should be playing at with adaptive sync , even at 144 no sync is noticeable and it shows stuttering,tearing and jitters. I'd wager that anyone who has seriously spent some time on an adaptive sync LCD will not talk so my BS as you guys have.

Exactly. Any 16:9 monitor curved is just stupid personally.

Just because you can't see a difference doesn't mean I can't.
You still get noticeable tearing even at 144hz.
Just as you can see tearing, you'll also see 'microstuttering'.
As for the rest of those issues you listed like better iq and weird blinking, that's a monitor specific issue with no relation to gsync
