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.

TV's are cheaper because far more people buy them and it's way easier to manufacture panels with lower pixel density plus they are not required to refresh at 144/165hz.
There aren't even that many high end TVs that exceed 200+ brightness zones.
It looks good, it really does. The P279UQ also looks fantastic. But i have a feeling Asus are going to **** up hard because their pricing is too greedy. $2000 for the P279UQ and the PG35VQ is a bigger monitor. How much do you think they will charge for that? $2500? Nobody is going to buy those monitors at that price when they can go out and buy a LG UHD TV with HDR and 100/200hz @ 49 inches for the same price or lower. Samsung are also offering up some better priced UHD TV's too. Asus needs to stop taking the piss by pricing 27" monitors the same as 49" 4K QLED TV's.

The QLEDs from Samsung and the OLEDs from LG both have HDR and both look fantastic. The Asus monitors look equally good. But a lot of people are just gonna look at them and say, "why am i paying extra for a small screen?" Are the slight improvements of a faster refresh rate worth that extra grand? A few will say yes, the majority will say no.

The difference is that ASUS might sell 1% of the number of these that Samsung and others sell of those TVs. Who knows how much these cost to make. They could only be making a couple bucks off of them where as the TVs you might not make a ton of profit on each one, but you sell a hell of a lot more.
I hate the prices too but this is a niche market. 99% of the gamers I know have a generic 1080p monitor that cost them $100 or less
