And then I saw the price.....

A little bit too expensive. You can get a nice Samsung Neo QLED for that price (double the size for the same price) I know, it's a big TV and not a gaming monitor. And that's my point, it's more or less a bigger PG32UQX without a few gimmick OSD things but it should be roughly equal to it. Someone is having a nice margin on its product.

Monitors have become the biggest joke, for the fact i could get 3 LG CX OLED's for the same price makes me laugh, who cares about possible burn in when chances are its still going to be cheaper! I keep looking to update my monitor the PG279Q that i got about 5/6 years ago for £550, monitors haven't gone down in price since then they have only gone up by crazy amounts, even the new asus one that is meant to replace this one is a cool £700-800, with some very minor updates. honestly if LG ever release a 35inch OLED around these price brackets no one will look at a monitor heck people are aleady looking at TVs now as they're just so much cheaper

Wow that price! I'll stick with my PG279Q then, still a great monitor and has served me well! It's not like my 1080ti could handle this beast anyway

I just want a 4k 165+ hz monitor with g-sync and very low latency, and displayport 2.0 or hdmi 2.1. I dont want local dimming, and i dont care about HDR, both of which makes the price explode.

I would love this in a 27" 144Hz+ 1440P monitor. The extra contrast would be wonderful in darker games but without the burn in issues OLED brings. The cost of mini LED backlights isn't that much so this price will come down over time especially as other vendors make competing products. I certainly wont be early adopting but a mini LED backlight monitor is going to be bought in the next couple years.

Lol you want this monitor, except you want a 27" 1440p monitor...

So I spent maybe $1200-1300 USD on an Acer 4k 32" gysnc IPS back in early 2016... at the time, and even now, that feels like an absurd amount to spend on monitor. It's not a direct comparison since it was IPS and limited to 60hz gysnc... that said, it does showcase some outrageous price creep for very little improvement in technology/quality.

What? It only 3.5 kiloeuros. :P

I very much doubt many people will buy this. Even if it were cheaper it's still missing HDMI 2.1 and in this day and age where we have PS5 and XBSX, that's just not an option.

LOL yeah. Same everything else which I know the panel is kind of a big peace:)

haste:

Another GSync monitor? NVIDIA should either abandon GSync or let AMD use it via licensing. I was hoping that NVIDIA is actually abandoning it when they started adding FreeSync monitors to their drivers. This forced splitting of monitor market is unacceptable.

Why G-Sync not what everybody thought it was? Or more than likely, it's not working like it should or thought it should.

HDMI 2.0 This is not the monitor we are looking for...

Three and a half grand for a 32" screen. And people say OLED is expensive. F*ck off Asus. Honestly, if you have money to burn because you're playing Premier League football, this might be alright, but otherwise, this is a joke.

Big fail on this, for obvious reasons. You'd expect them to give a flying f*ck and have 2.1 onboard. But no. That will come next year, for a measly 4,000 smackaroos.

I can buy an LG 48inch OLED, try to cause as much burn-in as possible, then buy another and still not reach the outrageous price of the PG32UQX. Complete asinine!

3.5K EU...

Go to the monitor section of these forums and you will see my choice in big beautiful colors

You can't blame them for charging so much because people voted with their wallets with the previous 4K FALD monitors that were $2000. Then people bought the ultrawide version for $2500, so why not charge $3500 for this? Obviously they aren't charging enough because people have no issue buying them. Maybe most of us aren't rich enough to be a high-end PC gamer anymore. I think high-end PC gaming these days is really for a tiny fraction of people with an absolute crap-ton of money to throw around. $3500 is approaching the price of a decent used car, so no one spending that much on a monitor cares about the price at all. They'd just as easily spend twice that. There's no other explanation for that price. Anyone who is price conscious in any way won't be spending $3500 on a 32" screen.

I haven't seen the trends in the financials, as it is really messed up in manufacturing right now anyway - but word around the campfire says; as people are not buying as many new cars and, 2nd hand cars have retained their values better. Couple of points to consider: 1) Less miles during 2020-202x driven due to 'what is going on right now'. 2) Less need for a new car if current model has less miles on the 'clock. 3) Less demand for travel in cars 4) Increased demand in electric bicycles for commuters 5) Less expenditure on car fuel, and associated costs like repair, taxes, oil, servicing etc 6) People working from home (business costs switch for home working) - making more IT business purchases for home office/remote working. So, we got a glut of cash in the system due to lowered cost of living, and we got more people needing to work from home - this means $5-10K of expenditure on so-ho, is perfectly reasonable, and, would be included in OPEX of any company right now. In less than six months, the world goes into the second year of 'this', and this means the accounts department will be shifting the OPEX money around to fully accommodate a more 'fluid' working protocol. These protocols are to make sure the business is always able to meet a 100% operational efficiency. Having a primary display of this value at home, with a new system, is completely a justifiable business expense - that can be written off in three years anyway. Anyways, just my mind thinking this through on the stock market and trying to determine anything of value from the big companies on how they see the market unfolding, but I suspect that IT is to be a very strong market for many years to come...
