Despite being a fantastic monitor, the price is ridiculous, and it's too small for 4k.

Nice review...
Amen to that. Sure a few people can and may appreciate the extra DPI on 4k 27", just think it would be far more impressive on a larger screen. Have a feeling that Asus opted for the smaller size to showcase the effectiveness of HDR. 348 LD zones on 27" allows the zones to be smaller and the HDR effect more pronounced. If on a larger screen, the zones would either have to be increased (as well as cost) or stretched which may diminish the effect.
Nice review...
I'll immediately jump into my journalistic operating mode though, 27-inches for Ultra HD, isn't that a bit of a silly resolution DPI scaling wise? Is Ultra HD is the best choice at this moment in time? Personally, and a lot of people will frown at me right now, I do not believe so, at 24 inches up to 32 inches I feel panels at 2560x1440 or 3440x1440 are far better suited for the job, at a much lower price and a lesser need of graphics horsepower...

Not sure about the size. There's a lot to be said about gaming on a high pixel density display.
Edit:
About Newegg/Amazon/etc "reviews", I wouldn't trust them. Companies pay a lot money to hire hordes of "reviewers" to influence people buying on those sites. Never trust them. "And you will too" sounds really legit, people.

"Games are absolutely MIND BLOWINGGG. It was whiIe i was playing Destiny 2... I chucked a void grenade, the Firefly perk on my SunShot, explosions looking so vivd I could feel the heat from the fire on my face... the muzzle flash from a fireteam members Sweet Business reflecting off the surface of my assault rifle like a strobe light in that dark cave.... and in that moment I knew I made the right decision. You will, too."
