A grand personal cinema for authentic movie entertainment, EX3501R supports multiple video formats in 24p, 25p, and 30p cinematic frame rates natively without artificial pulldown. In addition, EX3501R is powered by AMD FreeSync™ technology and 100Hz refresh rate to offer intense gaming experiences for action aficionados, bringing out minute details in fast-paced action without image tearing, broken frames, and choppy gameplay.
Sophisticated Style with Powerful Functionality
Based on latest USB-C™ architecture, EX3501R utilizes a single cable to provide SuperSpeed data transfers and 2K video delivery without clutter. Fully equipped with multiple HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB 3.0 ports in addition to USB-C™, EX3501R expertly hosts multimedia content from a variety of source devices ranging from set-top boxes, Blu-rays, gaming consoles, and smart devices.
EX3501R is tailor-made for maximum viewing enjoyment aided by a smooth height adjustable stand. For added comfort, BenQ exclusive Brightness Intelligence Plus Technology actively detects ambient lighting and color temperature levels to customize onscreen output characteristics for a perfect entertainment experience.
** On HDR - if you look at the specs, the monitor only offers 300 nits and 8-bit color. This is one of what I called 'fake HDR' screens, much to what Dell has been doing.

agree with both previous postings.
side note: the reason many companies go for fake HDR is simply cosmetics.
a proper *full array* of leds (the cheapest way to achieve HDR) is not expensive, but it does require a chunkier set.
i can only imagine how blue those over-driven leds are in the BenQ.

Yeah, and this is another HDR monitor (same 300 cd/m² brightness) released 15 years ago:
https://www.cnet.com/products/diamond-plus-74sb-17-inch-crt-monitor/specs/
I am wondering why monitor manufacturers are still getting away with blatantly lying to customers. HDR means high dynamic range of luminosity. HDR label SPECIFICALLY requires increased brightness. Without increasing luminosity you can't have high dynamic range of colours. This is the reason why minimum requirement for HDR LCD panel is 1000 cd/m².

Dammit....ive been waiting for a 34" ultra wide exactly like this but with full HDR....what is going on? Is it that hard to make a full HDR gaming monitor? I will still keep my eye on this and see the price.
