ASUS to release its XG438Q 43-inch 120Hz UHD HDR monitor for 1199 euros
A lot has been said and spoken about this big-screen Strix XG438Q gaming monitor. Let alone availability. But ASUS is finally injecting the screen into the market. The XG438Q features a 43-inch panel with an Ultra HD resolution and comes with HDR 600 certification and a 120-hertz refresh rate.
The 43" monitor will offer FreeSync 2 technology and thus has VESA adaptive SYnc, in theory, this would work with GSYNC compatible mode as well. The monitor is offered with remote control on which the settings can be adjusted. The panel is VA and can meet 90% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum. The screen has a suggested retail price of 1199 euros and should be available really soon.
Small tip - MMD released the Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB a year ago, that one has DisplayHDR 1000 certification and costs 549 euros, but has a refresh rate of 60Hz though.

It has FreeSync so it works with Nvidia cards as well now that Nvidia supports it (all it takes in one tick in the box in NVCP for non certfied monitors)
Good VA panels are good.
The contrast is awesome for games and movies and helps a lot with HDR.
IPS has nice colours but the washed out blacks is an issue for dark scenes. IPS panels have a degree of IPS glow no matter what.
It should be 8bit + dithering or native 10 bit because it's an HDR requirement.
The logo can be turned off.
It's an awesome solution for those who look for large screen to connect both PC and console.
It's expensive and Philips offers a similar alternative which is much cheaper with the only negative of less ports and a glossy screen surface.

I've been waiting for a 40-43" 4k display with VRR like this. I'll definitely consider grabbing one when I see it on sale. Waiting for reviews, though, hopefully it won't have any dithering-related artifacts like the Philips screen does so I can use it for work as well as gaming.

It’s a decent monitor but there is a similar one coming out from Acer very soon which is almost identical in spec except it has 1000 nits so it’s slightly better than the Asus

Let's just get this out of the way:
VA Panel? No buy.
P.S. My IPS monitor doesn't have any glow
No G-sync? No buy.
Why don't we have OLED monitors yet!?!?!
8-bit panel? No buy.
That projected logo is terrible
This is to expensive. It should be no more than (what poster can afford)
I think that should cover the first two pages of complaining posts.
I'm excited to see more big screens. I picked up a 32" earlier this year, and I'm already down for a 42" once the GPU market can run new games at higher refresh rates without choking.
