Computex 2017: 35in ROG Swift PG35VQ offers HDR & Quantum Dots (updated)
And offers all that at 200hz. The ROG Swift PG35VQ stretches its massive 35” diagonal across an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio. It’s capable of refreshing at 200Hz and come with NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology (30 – 200Hz variable). PG35VQ an UQWHD (3,440 x 1,440) resolution.
The display’s UQWHD 3440x1440 resolution adds up to about five megapixels, so you won’t need extreme graphics horsepower to get the most out of the display.
The ROG Swift PG35VQ conforms to the HDR10 standard and draws from both an expansive palette of colors and a wide range of contrast. Using these luminescent nanoparticles allows the monitor to support the wider DCI-P3 color space typically associated with cinema projectors.
The maximum brightness is a retina-searing 1000 nits, or roughly three times what you get with traditional monitors. And the blinding whites don’t come at the expense of deep blacks, which are a lot darker than you’re using to seeing on gaming displays. Localized dimming is part of the secret behind the monitor’s vast contrast range. The panel is illuminated by 512 individual LEDs that can be controlled independently to darken specific portions of the picture. The PG27UQ uses the same approach, but it only needs 384 LEDs to cover the area occupied by its smaller 27” panel.
LEDs are responsible fore more than just the backlighting; the ROG Swift PG35VQ has integrated RGB illumination that’s part of our Aura Sync ecosystem. Monitors are the last piece of the puzzle for a diverse collection of Sync-enabled components that now spans basically every piece of a PC, from ROG motherboards, graphics cards, and peripherals to memory, cases, and other gear from ASUS partners.
The Swift PG35VQ joins the PG27UQ in a growing stable of ROG gaming monitors with high dynamic range and quantum dots. Its larger panel and ultra-wide aspect ratio provide a tempting alternative that’s better suited to panoramic first-person play with action-packed titles.
With a 4K resolution that tops out at 144Hz, the PG27UQ strikes a difference balance that favors pixel density over raw speed and size. Its 27” panel doesn’t need a curve to stay perfectly in view, and the design has been tweaked since CES to incorporate Aura Sync lighting. The important thing is that both displays bring HDR and wide-gamut color to the forefront.
I will visit the ASUS booth today at Computex and will update this news item with some photos.

There is absolutely no reason for a TV to have a higher refresh rate than 60hz. The majority of console games work at 30 or 60hz and there are no broadcast stations that I know of that broadcast at a higher refresh rate.

Maybe this time they'll do some Q&A and these "ROG"s wont be crappy and RMA prone.
I can already see the comments, just like with their 27'/144 ROG's "Great while it lasted (2months), RMA'd 2 times, but had to give up eventually"

Not unless you hook up a PC to it...... Tons of "reasons" to have it with a refresh rate of 100+hz as it makes a world of difference.
Truly pains me to go from my computer @ 120+hz to my consoles of 30-60hz mandated refresh rates. Kind of like ushering the 90's gaming sessions of yesterday once again today...

That's my point. But the vast majority of people who buy TVs don't use them as computer monitors so why are manufacturers going to add that feature when nobody uses it.

this ultra wide is gonna cost half of our body if we want to buy it, this is sick. I really do love gaming in 3440x1440p as i own a dell u3415w, i recently got a 1080ti and im considering selling my 1070 and screen to get a asus ultra wide at 100 hz , but man these ultra wide are so expensive. Think about it before buying because once u go ultrawide there is no going back, if u get a 60hz ull want more, and then ull want more than 100 hz, there is no going back im telling u folks
