ASUS Readying a 144 Hz 4K Ultra HD Monitor
ASUS is readying with what could be the world's first 4K Ultra HD monitor with 144 Hz refresh-rate. The monitor features a 27-inch AHVA panel by AU Optronics. The monitor relies on DisplayPort 1.3 for sufficient bandwidth to push its advertised resolution (3840 x 2160 @ 144 Hz). There's no word on whether the monitor supports adaptive sync technologies such as G-SYNC or FreeSync. DisplayPort 1.3 support can be found on some of the latest GPUs, such as the GeForce GTX 1080 and the Radeon RX 480.

This won't be cheap though. I have a 1080p 144Hz and it was super expensive as it is, this is freaking 4K AHVA lol :D
nvm really... it's asus. they have no sense.
I found 4k 28" to be almost too big, but each to their own I guess...
Wait and see, the people that buy this monitor will be downscaling all the time so they can actually enjoy 60+ fps :) But... when you downscale to 1080p on 27 inch, it looks like shit. Yep. Great monitor.
Edit: This appears to be the closest available on the market but it is 60 Hz, not 144 Hz, and it is $700, not $400. :(

ideally I would like some 32:9 54" curved display with 500R curvature and working nvidia (or AMD alternative) Simultaneous Multi Projection bent over the curve:
so the curve doesn't bend/distort the picture, but you feel like being inside the scene (you know like... every vertical row of pixels rendered from it's own unique angle). with deep color (10/12/16 bpc) and HDR support and adaptive sync and 144Hz.
Or oculus/Vive without the f***ing cables.
Too bad that is utopia, just like dual GPU and great support, it will always be a painful exercise at some point, sooner or later and always in the games where you want that horsepower the most (remember The Division just now? they waited until Pascal before they came with a fix). I still have very fresh non-existant SLI support for The Elder Scrolls Online in my memory too :)
3840×2160×24×144=28.67Gbit/s
DP1.3 goes up to 25.92Gbit/s for data. Which is enough for 4K@120Hz, but not enough for 144Hz.
I guess it must be using DP1.4, then. As DP1.4 adds stream compression (DSC), which would allow it to push those those extra few frames
