Announced earlier this year, this monitor finally is seeing good availability. Ergo we figured another news items is worthy. This 27-inch 4K monitor for creators has an "OCO" function that can reduce halo effects when viewed from an angle by 80% with a correction layer that controls the light transmittance around the edges.

The backlight is a direct mini LED, and 576 independent local dimming zones allow you to reproduce high-precision HDR content with the highest contrast. In addition, by conducting rigorous tests using ASUS's advanced grayscale tracking technology, the color difference value has achieved delta E <1. In addition, the product also comes with a disc calibration, which enables image expression that is always faithful to the primary colors.

LOL, many complain at length about NVidia's prices but ASUS's monitors match them. In order to upgrade my 10 year old Dell U2711 1440 monitor to one that will last 5+ years, I'm having to think £2,000 to £2,500 to buy the 'next gen spec' ie HDR1000 etc.
Appreciate this particular monitor is not for gaming and it's probably lovely for creators but prices for top spec kit have gone a bit mad.

Crazy price alright.

I think the best bet we have in the short term for a HDR type monitor which has actual real millions of dimming zones is LGs latest OLED TVs which are now available in a 48" size. Can be used as TV, gaming monitor (with 120Hz refresh and variable refresh), OLED colour quality and low latency, think it is about 600nits brightness, or even as a studio reference monitor as a separate monitor for video editing work. And it costs WAY less than that monitor at about €1,500
