The holy trinity. IPS. 4K. 144Hz

[Marf85]

so. i found the following two links about an asus 4k 144hz IPS. for my tastes this is the absolute perfect monitor.

 

does anyone know anything more about its existence?

ASUS Computex show late on a 27-inch 4K monitor with a refresh rate of 144 Hz and using IPS technology. The panel used comes from AUO. According to ASUS is about the world's first 4K UHD monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate and IPS technology. The monitor can be tilted, rotated and adjusted in height. It is not known to us which model this is.

If this is anything like the rumored Dell model at 120Hz we're looking at a price of at least $5K+ which sucks but that's how new technology usually is. Still glad to see this technology finally coming to fruition and hopefully a few years from now it will be more affordable.

Well it looks like I am taking a bank loan out, makes my 165hz 1440p monitor look like a peasant.

I'm wondering what display connections that thing uses to do 4K at 144hz.... It probably requires like 2 DP 1.3s or maybe a thunderbolt 3 connection (DP 1.3 and 1.4 only offer up to 4K at 120 hz).

That's an OLED monitor.

That's only without compression, but if DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC compression is used then 4K 144 Hz is possible.

the pictures had something hiding the connectors, so couldn't really tell what was going on. it did look like there could have been two connectors on the far side though

Panels are in pre-production stage, hope there is decent size variety.  A 4K 144Hz gsync or freesync monitor is set to become a long term solution and pricing will reflect that.

What incentive is there to upgrade a 144Hz 4K monitor when it will take years for the GPU power to get the most out of these 4K 144Hz monitor. Yes, one can play older games and lower the settings but that doesn't take away from the fact that  a 4K 144 gsync variant could be now paired with a 1070/980TI, then a 1080TI  and a 1180TI and even then it's questionable to get to max out settings and get most out of monitor. Video cards mastered 1080p/60 a while ago, 1440p/60 is now pushed to the lower price range but 4K/60 is a tall order already, one that no single card can master, 4K/100+ will prove a challenge for quite some time, ensuring  the monitor's relevance for years to come.

for me. it would be the ability to be able to 1080 or 1440 at really high fps and refresh because its just that little bit nicer for twitch movement games, but also have the ability to go 4k/60 for the pretty in less movement intensive games.
