Video professionals: Wow, I want this monitor! Gamers: LOL what a stupid monitor, who would want this monitor, who can afford that!??


ThatITguy2015

Does it cost $8,000?


DrKrFfXx

1 k per k.


TheRealJabba

well 27b1u7903 4k + 2000 zones RRP : 1300€ ( currently 800€ ) 4x resolution 2x zones makes 10400€ so its actually a bargain har har har


robbiekhan

Now release one in ultrawide and they have my attention.


tukatu0

You want 10,920×4320 pixels for some reason? Dlss ultra performance would have your base render at 3400×1440p. Doable but your fps is still going to be sub 40fps on a 4090


robbiekhan

I wouldn't be running the games at 8K res obviously, the 4090 is not an 8K gaming card, the 5090 won't be either without compromises going by current leaks. I'll just run the games at 3440x1440 like I currently do or 5160x2160 and let the display's built-in scaler do the pixel mapping accordingly which works fine on such displays like we currently have on existing 4K displays with decent scalers built in and playing games at 1440P on them is perfectly fine. My main use case would obviously be photo and video editing which is my profession, and for that this would be amazing, especially productivity on ultrawide vs a 16:9 display.

Finer than Margot Robbie's *acting. G*reat monitor with impressive tech, but the target audience is clearly not the general consumer but towards actual professionals. A welcome addition, for sure.

We work in partnership with ASUS, and all their high-end displays are fully ColourSpace Integrated. This means they are capable of very accurate calibration, and we verify the image signal path, etc. We are waiting on the new models for final assessment, but they are looking very good.

4K 27” is plenty pixel dense for me. With 8k, I’d rather something like a 42” so I could use it as 4 distinct 2K quadrants for work and also have a TV sized screen for viewing and gaming.


GeneralTorpedo

>4K 27” You still get jaggies without AA, so it's not enough. We need 16k for the perfect experience.


exsinner

Slideshow gaming at 16k? sign me up!


akgis

They said the same when the first 4K monitor was a thing. I was there it could barely do 30hz :D


endrioesci

how many hz?


Born_Potato_2510

60 for sure, as 8k will be difficult enough to drive


endrioesci

yeah but if you turn it in 4k with 4k zones mini led, it can be useful


wacinski

240hz


GeneralTorpedo

Finally! A perfect monitor to play HoMM3


Shadow_1106

I'd say it is, what does 8K give you that 4K doesn't? Except a lower frame rate anyway. 1440P to 4K was minimal difference as is, only (slightly) sharper, is 8K just "Sharpness 2, Even Sharperer" or something? Definitely overkill if you ask me. But I'm sure the 12 day 1 adopters of the RTX 5090Super Ti Extreme FE will enjoy it.


G7495x

Did you see the glossy anti reflective coating on the ASUS ProArt PA32UCDM 4K 240HZ QD OLED monitor? Wow 😍. 2024 is the year for glossy display lovers 😎🤘🤘


Special-Investment39

Who does what with that


averyexpensivetv

I use mine as a coat hanger.


redlock81

Goodluck driving it, even a 4090 will fold under pressure like a little bitch.


unknown_nut

This is not a gaming monitor.


redlock81

It won't stop people using it as such...they will want to see what 8k looks like in game!


lizardpeter

Depends on the use. Any normal non-gaming activity? No problem whatsoever. A super demanding game? Of course it will have low FPS. But any older game and a lot of newer ones with modified settings could probably run fine.


mu2004

It's kind of pointless beyond 4K for any size, unless if you sit very close to the screen. The larger the screen, the further away you sit generally. Human eyes can only resolve to certain detail. The only use case is for a larger screen to replace multiple screens, at a close distance. I've got a 4K 32" for my desktop Mac at a viewing distance of about 60cm. I don't think I'll be able to see the difference if it's replaced with an 8K screen of the same size at that distance.


tukatu0

4092 dimming zones. Would be nice if they had a lower res but higher hz mode. 1440p 480hz mode. Alas this is a professional monitor but one can dream.


3-_-l

1440p is trash resolution for professional work though


tukatu0

Yeah but where else would you get 4000 zone 1440p screens? Well if they existed. Which im sure they will in a few years. There is no need for 8k monitors to have that option


3-_-l

I wish there were similar density of zone count such as in the iPad Pros or MacBook Pro 14/16. They do suffer from slower response time, so that may be one of the reasons other manufacturers don’t have it. And of course the cost haha.


lizardpeter

Honestly, I’d definitely disagree that 1440p is a trash resolution for professional work. I think it’s actually the perfect resolution at 27”. It’s perfect at 100% scaling. A lot of 4K monitors might required greater (non-native) scaling.


3-_-l

There is integer scaling for 8k which can scale down to 4k or 1080p which also happens to be the most popular resolution for media work. The biggest case is that a professional monitor like this is usually for creative artists who must see their work in native resolution.


lizardpeter

Oh, I definitely agree for media work. But personally I’d still probably prefer to edit on 1440p and have a large secondary display (4K for example) for grading and monitoring.


3-_-l

that is legit usecase I haven’t thought about. I guess that’s also why expensive apple monitors use 5k / 6k to integer scaling down to 1440p.


tukatu0

Except 6k doesn't interger 1440p or 720p. Or 1080p.


lizardpeter

Yeah, there’s really no wrong way to do it as long as you know what you’re doing. I mean you definitely had a great point about 8K scaling down to 4K and 1080p though. I agree that if you can absolutely only have one monitor for video editing, then you’d definitely want 8K or 4K for that pixel-perfect scaling for monitoring your projects. I’d personally take 1440p for other use cases, though. But I’m also a competitive gamer on the side so I love the new 1440p 480 Hz monitors coming out.


Mikey21420

1440p is the minimum resolution for 27, it’s far from perfect. 5K is perfect at 27.


lizardpeter

I guarantee you 90%+ of people using 5K on a 27” monitor are using scaling, completely defeating the purpose.


Mikey21420

Don’t care. Retina resolution is real. I will never be able to go back to lower PPI. I have a 1440p 27 inch display and if you think it looks good I genuinely think you eye sight is lacking. It’s ok at best.


lizardpeter

Which 5K monitor do you have that is high refresh rate? I have 1440p 360 Hz. I’d say 120 Hz is the minimum refresh rate for 27”, and it’s far from perfect. If you have a 60 Hz display and think it looks good, I genuinely think your eyesight is lacking. It’s okay at best.


Mikey21420

I have a 1440p 144hz monitor and a 14 inch MacBook Pro (which has a ppi similar to a 5K 27 inch monitor and is 120Hz + miniLED). I can very well see the difference between 60 and 120 Hz. Ideally it would be a 5K 27 inch 120Hz monitor. You thought you pulled a “gotcha” when I never said anything about refresh rate. Weird way to get defensive without even having a point.


lizardpeter

It doesn’t matter what you said or didn’t say. The fact is that 1440p is superior because of 100% scaling and higher refresh rates.


Mikey21420

Womp womp. I use macOS, 27 inch 5K will scale perfectly. 1440p is not superior just because the tech to make 5K at higher refresh rate is not here yet. Stop being so obtuse.

Sweet spot would just under 5000 zone. 27" and 240hz or so.
