With a 144 Hz refresh rate and its high 140 ppi pixel density, this IPS panel delivers sharp and responsive visuals for a variety of applications. Similar to its 27" sibling, this monitor offers a 95% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage according to CIE1976 standards and ensures rich and accurate colours with support for an extensive palette of 1.07 billion colours with 10-bit colour depth.

With a fast response time of up to 1 ms GtG using pixel overdrive modes, U32G3X/BK is designed for smooth and responsive gaming performance. Its NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and Adaptive-Sync support ensure a seamless and tear-free experience.

I am appalled that they managed to shoehorn AI into the press release, some way somehow. This gold rush has got to end at one point

Well the DLSS/FSR/whatnot has objectively enabled people to run at higher framerates than before, thus a drive for higher FPS monitors. A few years ago you sometimes heard that it's not worth buying a high refresh 4k monitor for gaming as the GPU's don't have the oomph - well now they sort of have in a contrived way.
They don't say they have anything AI-related in their product.

Probably a knee jerk reaction from me tbh, not dismissing DLSS or FSR, I just thought that mentioning AI for a monitor, specially when it's not even something that your product offers, it just sent me the wrong way. Doesn't help that lately we've been inundated with everything being called "AI" when it's just an algorithm or something of the sort (though we were graced by Oral-b's "AI" toothbrush) (no, really, check this shit https://www.oralb.co.uk/en-gb/product-collections/genius-x)

Well,…..the artwork looked AI rendered,….. so there is that,….

IPS at 750eur nice joke no thank you

Another meh IPS 4K panel with useless HDR 400...

Time for the VESA board to deregister HDR400 as being a standard. HDR600 should be the bare minimum to get a tick and at this price point we should be getting HDR1000.

I use the VESA certified HDR 400 on my QD-OLED because I know it's accurate I just need to properly calibrate my games. Do I wish it had HDR 600? For sure because the HDR 1000 setting I have found to be less than pleasant and from other users on Win11 that actually reports the nits(not sure how accurately) It's not quite 1000nits...I love HDR and have been on the bandwagon since it was a thing with some decent and not so decent REAL HDR monitors. They have all had caveats UNTIL I got the OLED. Now I zero compromises HDR that works as it should, consisently.

HDR400 on an OLED and HDR400 on an IPS are wholly different things, because while OLEDS are self illuminating, IPS panels only have a contrast ratio of 1000:1, so whatever HDR there is, it's not actually a high dynamic range, it's just a bright screen. (Maybe I misinterpreted what you said, very possible)

It's why most everyone dismisses HDR400

yeah, they probably missed the blockchain hype train from yesteryear but definitely got onboard this one. If they're quick enough they should be able to release a quantum computing toothbrush soon too

You're not using HDR400, you're using HRD400 True Black which is a very different standard and a valuable one to pursue. Other than having a lower peak luminance than HDR1000 it is much better in every way.

Is it DisplayHDR 400 or DisplayHDR True Black 400?
They are not the same thing. DisplayHDR True Black is vastly superior to DisplayHDR regular.
