A product that has been discussed about a lot has got to be the Asus RoG Swift PG27UQ. This NVIDIA GSYNC enabled monitor offers 4K and 144 Hz HDR gaming. We tested the gaming monitor as quickly as we could to see if this screen was worth the very long wait.

$100 per inch. I don't think so. $10 per inch would be a more suitable price. It probably cost them well under $100 to make. The price of some monitors is just getting ridiculous.

It's like a Ferrari car. Want it, then you have to pay uber premium for it. There is cheaper cars on the market, that does "the same thing". Let you drive from A to B

That´s just the mentality they are trying to exploit.

This thing costs a whole garbage bag of money and it doesn't even work properly as advertised... I'm sorry, but are they seriously expecting ppl to shell out this money for a product that comes with a bunch of compromises...

As beautiful as this monitor is I still think we're 2 generations behind 144hz gaming. I could barely hit 55fps in Witcher 3 Ultra 4k@60hz. 144hz would be out of the question. Drop it down to 1080p and instantly smoother and easier to see on a 43" tv with 4k upscaling. I would debate with anyone if even 32" is big enough for 4k gaming, especially on fps titles. NVIDIA have the right idea with their 65" big format displays where this would be the only real viable option.

In terms of tech hobbyists, hi end audio makes $2500 monitors seem like peanuts. 10 watt single triode tube amps can be upwards of $10,000, not to mention other even higher priced components. So all in all, PC components, monitors, GPUs, etc are in far easier reach than some other hobbies.
