ASUS Rog Swift PG32UQ is here with 4K 144Hz and HDMI 2.1
The PG32UQ’s 4K pixel array measures 32″ across its diagonal, for a density of 138 PPI. That size strikes a great balance between a sharp picture and keeping text and UI elements readable without scaling.
The IPS panel has a gray-to-gray response time of just 1ms. Those speedy pixels make for blur- and ghosting-free motion that’s as clear as that of fast TN panels, but with the enhanced color reproduction and viewing angles of IPS.
The bright hues displayed by the ROG Swift PG32UQ cover 98% of the cinematic DCI-P3 color space. To ensure you get the most natural and accurate picture right out of the box, we calibrate each and every PG32UQ at the factory to an average Delta E of less than two. The wide gamut, top-notch color accuracy, and a high peak brightness earn it VESA DisplayHDR 600 compliance, guaranteeing HDR games and content are always presented as their creators intended.
For full compatibility with next-generation consoles, the PG32UQ offers two HDMI 2.1 connections with plug-and-play support for gaming-friendly features like automatic low latency mode, variable refresh rates, and a high 120Hz refresh rate. PC gamers can also use the high-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.4 inputs to unlock the display’s maximum refresh rate, and these ports use VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) to ensure full per-pixel color reproduction even at 4K and 144Hz.
Even if your system can’t push 144Hz refresh rates all the time, the PG32UQ will deliver a smooth and responsive gaming experience. It supports HDMI 2.1 Variable Refresh Rate and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technologies now, and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible certification is in progress. Whether you have a gaming PC with a contemporary NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, or one of the newer PlayStation or Xbox consoles, you’ll always reap the benefits of variable refresh rate technology: no tearing, no judder, and silky-smooth, responsive gameplay. Our exclusive ELMB Sync technology can also be enabled on the PG32UQ for clearest possible motion even as frame rates vary over time.
The PG32UQ also boasts ASUS Variable Overdrive technology. Overdrive is a common technique used to reduce the amount of time it takes for a pixel to change from one color to another on an LCD panel. A fast game running at very high FPS will look better with a higher overdrive setting, while a graphically-intensive title running at 60 FPS might exhibit overdrive artifacts at that same setting. Constantly altering this setting manually is a chore, but the ROG Swift PG32UQ automatically applies the right amount of overdrive even as frame rates change over time. Five levels of Variable Overdrive control let you further tune the aggressiveness of the feature across the refresh rate range for an ideal view of on-screen content.
A monitor is more than the sum of its technical specs, though. The ROG Swift PG32UQ delivers dazzling style. Its cybernetic-inspired chassis, sturdy height-adjustable stand, and Aura Sync lighting on the ROG logo at the back make for a look that’s unmistakably ROG. The extra-thin bezels around three of the edges offer a near-seamless view in multi-monitor arrays, too. A pair of USB ports and a headphone output offer convenient connections for peripherals, too. Our exclusive GamePlus and GameVisual features add OSD software conveniences like content-specific profiles, FPS counters, crosshair placements, and much more.

For the amount of money they are going to ask for this thing, I'd rather stick with my 1440p ultrawide for cheaper. I can see this as a "do it all monitor" for those that want something they can hook their PC up to and also their PS5/Series X. I don't think many will be willing to pay for it though. HDMI 2.1 will trickle down to cheaper monitors/TV's over the next year. Watch this thing be $1500. No thanks.

That's right, the 55" is cheaper, it was commented on in more than one of the reviews of the 48" LG that I've read. I seem to remember that the LG 48" OLED is the best for PC gaming so LG probably reckon they can charge a premium price for the smaller screen. If there had been a 40" LG OLED with 4K,120Hz & GSynch Ultimate, I might have bought that instead of the ASUS PG35VQ as it will be several more generations of NVidia cards before 120Hz refresh possibly became an issue.
The PG35VQ is 3Kish so easier to drive, here are the FPS for a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide for the 3080:

I Did see LG are releasing a ultrawide 1440p monitor, which could be interesting, though its only up to 180hz love or hate that, but thats 34 inches.
That PG35VQ, can you get the full 200hz? or does it do chroma subsampling to get that higher over DP 1.4?
Nevermind, saw guru3d review on it, why I'm waiting on hdmi 2.1 versions so there isn;t chroma subsampling

You're right but some games like Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, Metro Exodus & Far Cry 5 look superb. Presumably Cyberpunk 2077 also? The 3080 is a game changer
No, cyberpunk looks off with hdr.
Wait? Why is hdmi 2.1 limited to 120hz? Can't hdmi 2.1 push closer to 200hz?
Only thing I can see if they cheaper out a few bucks on the ports and they're not full bandwidth. Yet this monitor will be well over a grand.
Honestly at this point I just want LG to make their TVs a tad smaller at 32-35 inches and go from there. Considering they got that 48 inch model for about a grand thats oled, 120hz HDR 1000 and will be cheaper than this. Just seems like insanity to me. Monitor makers are taking the piss you'd expect paying £1000 you'd get all the bells and whistles but you often have to pay double or triple that. In which case I could pick up a few lg TVs and I'd I get burn in a couple years down the line so what I'll grab another one and still save a buck
HDMI 2.1 can do 4k at 240 hz. So yeah, kinda lame if it only supports 144 hz over displayport.
