So I've had the Asus before and loved it. Ended up having to RMA it and then ultimately just returned it as I was transitioning through hardware and didn't have the power to game on it. Well I'm about to have the power again and am wondering if I should stick with that for about $600 or wait for a new panel but I'd really only be willing to wait until about the end of the year. I will use it for coding/game programming/web dev stuff as well as gaming. Def need 60hz through DP. 

 

Anyway, I'm not current on the rumors/leaks so is there anything good coming?

 

Somewhat swayed by a widescreen but I feel UHD may be more mainstream and fitting for me.

Given that the swift is neither widescreen (as in the LG) nor UHD nor anything I asked about... I'm gonna go with no.

 

Edit: My apologies for vagueness. I don't just mean widescreen (they're all widescreen I suppose haha) but rather the Ultra Wide Screen such as the LG 34UM95). If there are more of those coming out I may be interested but I feel mainstream will fall with the 28"+ 4k UHD monitors.

The um95 is the most beautiful monitor i've seen.

I agree it's gorgeous. Some games will require black bars no? I don't know if I can handle that...
