ASUS Releases 32-inch ROG Strix XG32VQR 1440p 144Hz FreeSync 2 HDR
ASUS is now listing the new 32-inch ROG Strix XG32VQR display, offering users a large FreeSync 2 HDR compliant VA panel with a wide color gamut (125% sRGB) and a high 144Hz maximum refresh rate. The monitor is an update to the ROG Strix XG32VQ, and has stronger backlighting up to 450 cd/m².
The display supports the VESA standard display HDR 400 and meets AMD's requirements for Freesync 2 HDR. The specifications remain largely identical: the 31.5-inch VA panel resolves with WQHD (2,560 × 1,440 pixels), can display freesync up to 144 hertz and is curved with a 1800R radius, the panel would be an SVA.
New is the backlight, which now reaches a brightness of up to 450 instead of 300 cd/m². AMD gives the ROG Strix XG32VQR a certificate for Freesync 2 HDR. This includes support for Low Frame Rate Compensation (LFC), which displays images below the minimum freesync limit multiple times to make image output dynamic at low Fps - the range is likely to be 48 to 144 hertz. The HDR characteristics of Freesync 2 HDR should be between HDR 400 and 600.
So far Asus lists the ROG Strix XG32VQR only on its website. The predecessor without R-suffix is currently available from 550 euros , where should also be the successor sorted in order to remain attractive compared to Samsung's C32HG70 . The monitor has nearly identical specifications but uses a quantum dot layer and backlighting with local dimming and peak values of 600 cd / m² (HDR 600 display)

Price is 550 Euro right there. Not bad. I like it.
Ups. That price tag is for predecessor.
I am by for not a monitor guru, but it reads pretty good to me. I hope pricing is right.

A buddy of mine just ordered the 27" version with Gsync. It's pretty cool, but is a TN, so off angle viewing was poor; that's where the curve comes into play, as it helps focus the whole screen towards the user's eyes (thus minimizing the TN's poor viewing angles).

That's actually a better price point than I guessed. Still more than I'm willing to pay, but, there's also practically nothing at all about this monitor that appeals to me except maybe HDR (I prefer something larger, 4K, and I don't have any interest in Freesync or high refresh rates).

Yep, this one comes close to my dream monitor specs wise. Make it IPS with g-sync (doesn't even have to be 4K) and I'd strongly consider buying one, even though I'm not a fan of ASUS monitors at all.

I'm holding out for the mini LED back lights: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/mini-led-based-gaming-monitors-may-reach-market-at-the-end-of-this-year.html
These mini led backlights seem ideal for a monitor. Should have almost the contrast of OLED with none of the issues of OLED.

in reality, even though this is a great monitor (at least the old one is...) the Samsung will mop the floor with it in RL. you cannot underestimate local dimming and higher peak brightness when it comes to HDR. it is the Dynamic Range in HDR...greater difference between light and dark.
and when you watch REAL HDR the difference will be as clear as night and day.

HDR with a VA panel... yeaahhhhh... I'm going to go ahead and say I don't believe Anus on that claim.

Oh I will have my 4K 144hz gaming machine. Even if I have to add more dilithium crystals and a warp core
