ASUS XG43UQ monitor with 43in 4K 144Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 Available In May (Updated)
Up and coming is the 43″ Panel ASUS XG43UQ gaming monitor. The unit will get a 4K 144Hz panel, and HDMI 2.1. Advertised response time is 1ms. The monitor supports VESA's Adaptive-Sync standard, which allows the display to work with FreeSync and G-Sync.
The monitor appeared on a few webshops with a price of 1500~1650~ EUR, an awful amount of money alright, but the specs do look nice as it has FreeSync Pro Premium and DisplayHDR 1000 certifications. The color gamut includes 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space. Connectivity is based on a duo of HDMI 2.1 connections as well as two HDMI 2.0 connectors. Next to that, you'll get a DisplayPort 1.4 connection with display stream compression. ROG Strix XG43UQ features two USB 3.0 connections, a 3.5mm jack for audio, and two integrated 10W speakers. The included monitor stand is not height adjustable due to the size of the screen, but it can be replaced with a VESA 100mm mounting bracket.
Updated:
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that Strix XG43UQ, the world's first HDMI 2.1 gaming monitor, will be available in May. Strix XG43UQ features a 43 inch 4K panel with up to a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms moving picture response time (MPRT). It also includes Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology. The HDMI 2.1 port enables gamers to enjoy 4K 120 Hz gameplay on the latest consoles.
The inclusion of AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology ensures smooth HDR visuals with low latency, while ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB Sync) works simultaneously with variable refresh rate technology to eliminate smearing and motion blur for fluid and responsive gameplay. Strix XG43UQ has a maximum brightness of 1000 nits - more than three times that of OLED TVs. The monitor has a two-tone black and white finish with an all-white rear cover, and it features Aura Sync lighting technology for synchronised light effects with other Aura-enable components and peripherals.
Supersmooth true to life visuals
The 43-inch Strix XG43UQ features a 144 Hz, 4K (3840 x 2160) panel and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology to deliver super-smooth visuals at up to 144 frames per second. It's also equipped with ASUS ELMB Sync which enables ELMB and variable refresh rate technologies to work simultaneously to eliminate ghosting and tearing for sharp gaming visuals with high frame rates.
In addition, High Dynamic Range technology with DisplayHDR 1000 certification and professional-grade 90% DCI P3 colour gamut ensures exceptional contrast and colours for true-to-life visuals.
Next-gen gaming with HDMI 2.1
Along with offering amazing 4K 120 Hz gaming on the latest consoles via HDMI 2.1, Strix XG43UQ includes an Auto Low-Latency mode to reduce input lag, with less than half the input latency of 4K TVs. It also has variable refresh rate (VRR) technology to decrease tearing and framerate stutter, and it utilises Display Stream Compression technology to transport ultra-high-definition video across a single high-speed interface with no perceptible loss in video quality.
Anti-glare panel and rich connectivity
The anti-glare panel makes it easier to see what's on-screen in bright environments, enabling a better viewing experience when watching movies or playing games. Strix XG43UQ includes an array of connectivity options such as USB 3.0, HDMI 2.1 and 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, audio line-in, and an earphone jack. It also has a bundled remote control to enable users to adjust display settings easily.

It's edge lit so there's barely any dimming zones and each zone is an entire vertical column. Even with 1000 nits of brightness the blacks will be elevated due to terrible contrast. Just sacrifice the refresh rate and buy one of the new 120Hz mini led tvs coming this year.
Even 1000 nit screens need tonemapping. Modern movies are starting to be mastered at 4000 nits and some games can scale to 10000 nits.
So exactly the same as the previous PG43UQ except an extra few hundred quid for an HDMI 2.1 input module. Just grab the older model and use DP 1.4 If you want a similar monitor. (This monitor does proper 1000 Nits output HDR unlike say an LG OLED that needs tone mapping bodges like Dolby Vision to compensate)

Edge lit today?!?! I mean why?!?!
I won't buy anything off/led any more unless there are at least local dimming zones on something this small.
Heck I wouldn't buy a TV today at fifty-five inches that didn't have at least a hundred LEDs and thirty plus zones for dimming. OLED FTW.
