NVIDIA Expects Partners to Release 4K, 144 Hz G-Sync Displays With HDR in April
Reports have started doing the rounds that users might finally see NVIDIA's dream for 4K, 144 Hz gaming come to fruition as early as next month. NVIDIA's approach towards establishing a platform of a premium 4K gaming experience meant that manufacturers - of which ASUS and Acer are two of the foremost examples for this story - were forced to opt for a single panel solution, based on AU Optronics' M270QAN02.2 AHVA panel. This is because NVIDIA wanted gamers to be treated to a fully integrated solution, that boasted of features such as 3840×2160 resolution, a 144 Hz refresh rate, a 1000-nits brightness, a direct LED backlighting system with 384 zones, and feature a quantum dot film to enable HDR10 and coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
However, with such stringent requirements, NVIDIA monitor partners would have to accept what constraints might arise from the panel manufacturer's side of the equation, which ultimately, resulted in a delay for the manufacturer's models - Acer Predator X27 and ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ - from a 2017 release date to what is now expected to be a firm, April 2018 one. Gamers might thus be in for the impending release of some of the best monitors in the industry when it comes to a premium, high refresh-rate gaming experience. Now, where are those mainstream OLED panels with at least 900 nits brightness I wanted to get my hands on?

With a screen size of 27" at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 the visual acuity distance is 0.52m (1.7ft)

As someone who sits approximately 1.5 to 2ft from my screen I'd say the 27" monitor is optimal for my viewing experience.
It looks absolutely stunning!
1440P on 27" looks like outright pixelated crap after a year on 4K.
Not missing a thing. Much rather spend cash on actual content. 4K in a moving image is so much detail lost, its added value is diminished in a big way - especially if you also lose tons of FPS.
But if SLi is what you depend on, sure go for it :)Similar situation here, 1680x1050 130hz.
I sit 80cm away from my 27" 1440p screen.
As someone else said - each to their own :D
If I moved to 4k at 27", I'd need a smaller desk.
And to be fair, when I reduce res to 1080p, I notice no tangible gaming difference - which is really what I mean for the size. For productivity and text, it's very different but the post is about gaming monitors. Also, it's well reviewed in the larger TV screen space that moving from HD to 4K isn't really that different for most people. The biggest advent of change is the HDR contrast ratio which makes the image far sharper and 'pop' out more.
I have an OLED 55" 4K HDR (& Dolby Vision) TV and watching a plain old blu-ray or a 4k one has little impact on apparant clarity but the HDR makes for a cleaner look.
im sold but i will use it at 100Hz,
144Hz maybe only for LoL
Why wouldn't they want to talk about the price right away?! :)
Looked truly stunning, the HDR, the latency, the smoothness. But yeah, I fully expect the premium price :-)
