It does look nice,too bad i won't afford a gaming screen with HDR. Not surprising though considering it's new tech.

When the next best thing comes along then i'll be able to afford a 2k+/144hz/gsync/hdr screen.

I think that's the first monitor I've ever seen that has buttons on the base.
Loving all the monitor news. I hope they announce 4k 144hz GSync at CES. Or something similar.
