ASUS ROG Strix XG32UQ Brings HDMI 2.1 and 4K at 160 Hz
ASUS has unveiled its first 32-inch ROG Strix monitor with 4K resolution in the shape of the XG32UQ. It comes with all the features you'd expect from a modern 4K display, such as HDMI 2.1 and a 120 Hz mode for consoles. It obviously also has a DP 1.4 port and supports up to 160 Hz refresh rate thanks to its Fast IPS panel. It's certified for FreeSync Premium Pro and is G-Sync Compatible, as well as having a DisplayHDR 600 certification. Oddly enough, ASUS didn't implement USB-C support, nor can the XG32UQ function as a KVM, a feature that has become pretty standard on higher-end monitors like this. It does have a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-B input and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A outs though.
The panel meets 96 percent of the DCI-P3 and 130 percent of the sRGB colour space and the typical brightness in SDR mode is 450 cd/m². ASUS has also implemented it's game visual features and what the company calls extreme low motion blur. The panel comes factory calibrated, so the XG32UQ should be possible to use for work as well as gaming. ASUS has also taken a leaf out of Corsair's playbook by implementing a screw mount at the top of the stand, to which something like a webcam mount could be fitted. There's no word on pricing, but based on pricing for similar products, we'd hazard a guess that it'll end up around the $1000 mark.

And the prices of 4K >120Hz PC displays are ridiculous:
PC: 32" 4K 144-165Hz, no FALD - 1000€
TV: 65" 4K 120Hz, >1000 zones FALD - also 1000€
Humanity has sinned...
At least this ain't curved.
Also, 160, not 165 Hz.Fixed.Not Acer. They have a very similar model on sale here for around $600. It's admittedly only 27" not 32", but it had USB-C with 65W PD and KVM support.
Hello Asus, this is 2001 calling, and well, you know the rest, hehehe :)
Monitor manufacturers should get their act together, a 32" 4k120 monitor shouldn't cost more than 600€ especially with no FALD.
Can't say I've seen any monitors with micro USB-B 3.0 though.
I must've had some 20 different displays over the years, everything from a 640x480 14" iiyama CRT to my current 4k 27" Asus display. Most of the brands I've owned are no longer around.
