Just buy the same monitor directly from LG (they make the displays) and avoid Asus tax. W + profit
Except thus far LG models have all been without heatsinks and significantly dimmer.
27" is so 2012. Even if the refresh rate is high.
What's the problem with 27"? It's in the sweet spot diagonal: 24-27-32-34. Below 24 is too small. Above 34 starts to get too big for desktop use.
It all depends on the resolution the display is paired with and the users own eyesight. Those with better eyesight wish 24" or 27" 4K while those with average or below eyesight are perfectly fine with 27" 1440p. I can run this at 100% with no need for scaling. 27" 4K i would need to enable scaling and even 32" 4K is still too small at 100%. Im glad they're pushing 27" 1440p refresh rates up. Now we need pure RGB pixel layout and DP 2.1 UHBR20 start being included. 1440p 480Hz barely fits inside DSC 3.0 compression limit.
Is anyone going to make a 360hz 4k panel at 27" ? I think 32" is way too big for gaming.
There will be 360Hz 32" 4K panels next year but i very much doubt there will be 27" 4K panels.

Monitors are subjective. I myself love my FV43U and it is fine for Desktop usage. Means I have more real estate and can enjoy Sports Streams when my TV is in use. I am glad that you are happy with your experience. I use 100% scaling with that and my pixel density is 138 according to AIDA.

Brightness is more or less a marketing technique these days, at least if you compare the good monitors to other good ones, yes it will be so bright it can burn a whole into your face, this is essentially their nonsense marketing - brightness levels that are so extreme they don't give you more benefit, but maybe destroy your eyes if you're not cautious.

I was merely pointing out that while LG is cheaper, it does come with drawbacks. You make it sound like it's just ASUS tax.
Besides ASUS has been making gaming monitors for much longer than LG Electronics has been making gaming monitors.

Im not saying that ASUS often does not increase the price to a ridiculous level but usually they do include some pretty cool hardware that's ahead of time.
Sometimes this works out, sometimes it does not but i give them points for at least trying instead of copying what everyone else is doing.
