Why is it listed as gaming? i mean it doesn't have freesync/gsync, more than 60hz refresh rate or anything.. It is just a 4k monitor right ?

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) isn't necessary to label a monitor as a gaming monitor nor does >60Hz. I'm guessing ASUS justified the monitor as a gaming oriented product because of the low response time and the ASUS gamer-friendly features. There isn't really any lines, regulations or standards for a gaming-oriented product other than what we all ideally desire.

For example, while I mostly used my computer for gaming, my ideal monitor right now would be a 4K/UHD, VRR, 27-30" size, IPS, good colours (native 8-bit + FRC) and a decent response time (5ms). I'm not looking into extremely low response time nor higher than 60Hz refresh rate.

EDIT: changed 5s to 5ms.

It says "gaming- grade" . That's like eIPS = economy IPS. You know it's kinda IPS (6 - bit colour ), but not a full-fledged IPS ( 8-bit/ 10-bit colour ) .

The marketing department clearly communicates to the target audience what this is about + what the previous comment said.

5s response time is a bit less than decent in my book :p

I failed. Meant to say 5ms.

a wide color gamut with 100% sRGB coverage

Is there such a thing as a wide gamut display that doesn't cover 100% of the sRGB space?

Sorry Assus. A gaming monitor in my book right now is one of those curved 34 IPS inchers with
3440×1440 resolution.

for anyone daft enough to want to play games at 4K on 24 inch monitor it should do the job fine..

i assume because it lacks the rog brand and the other fancy bits the price should be good..

I do not think gaming will be the primary problem, it will be everything else without setting a custom zoom and hoping that does not mess anything up (Including games).

I just got a 4K BL3201PT from RMA.. they gave me instead BL3200... The scaling is is horrid... nothing is really ready for 4K yet...
