    Wow, I remember when Graphics departments were paying $3000-$5000 for a 21" screen…

    There's a 4k 144Hz Acer monitor coming soon, if you're paying premium I'd consider holding out for it.

    • Carbon Door on 30/04/2017 - 10:47

      Also need the 1080ti to actually run it

      • CarbonTwelve on 30/04/2017 - 11:42
        +2

        Even that isn't enough. I'd want at least two 1080 Ti cards if I'm trying to drive 4K 144Hz.

        • zan5hin on 30/04/2017 - 13:06

          That 4k 144Hz from Acer (and Asus) are both coming Q3 or might even be Q4 and by then the Nvidia 2080 series will be out, so it should drive it OK with a single card and it's good timing, both the card and the next-gen monitor coming out at the same time. I am waiting for it myself.

          Many games won't scale properly with SLI these days, from a recent thing I read.

        • CarbonTwelve on 30/04/2017 - 14:46

          @zan5hin: Yeah, it depends on the game as to how well it scales, and I agree a single card solution is much better. Basically what I'm saying is that I don't believe the graphics hardware isn't there to support 4K 144Hz atm unless you're willing to accept the compromises of SLi, so I wouldn't be buying a 4K 144Hz monitor now.

    • Diji1 on 30/04/2017 - 11:10

      4K? That old hat res? 8K is where it's at.

    • Diji1 on 30/04/2017 - 11:10

      3440x1440 144Hz is here.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/04/2017 - 14:30

        Pointless with current gen hardware
        Unless you've got cash to burn 1440p 144hz is more than enough, also most people wouldn't know the difference once you go past 100hz

        Professional and esports gamers would know the difference and only anyone serious about gaming needs 144hz and above

    • shiny1 on 30/04/2017 - 11:14

      I'd say people buying this monitor wouldn't be in the mindset of buying the 4k 144Hz one. The price difference between the stepping stone X34 Predator is already a huge jump by a few hundred dollars, and I'd imagine the 4k one would be a few hundred more. This is like a deal for a GTX1070 and telling someone to wait until the GTX1080Ti comes out.

      • Carbon Door on 30/04/2017 - 11:44

        Noticed that MSY is discounting the x34 at $1299?

        Is there something wrong with it?

        • shiny1 on 30/04/2017 - 11:48

          Yeh… too expensive :P

          Nothing wrong with the monitor. People will pay for it if they want it or think that it's worth it.

        • Diji1 on 30/04/2017 - 11:53

          That's the usual discount price everywhere.

    • KenDiaMoi on 30/04/2017 - 12:57

      $800 for this monitor. $2000USD for the 4k 144hz. That acer is a different beast completely.

      No it will not run the full length. You'll have black bars on the side.

  • GrazerAu on 30/04/2017 - 13:10

    Not sure where the market is for this monitor. Everything would look horendously pixellated on a 1080p screen that size.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/04/2017 - 14:31

      Not really
      1080p at 27 inch is quite fine
      I think people nitpick too much
      Obviously 1440p is better but I can live with 1080p resolution

  • congo on 30/04/2017 - 15:38

    If you have the right hardware, what current games are supported and looks amazing in 4K?

  • dannyhc on 01/05/2017 - 10:48

    Went to MSY Clayton lined up ten minutes early waited for the guy to find the password for the point of sale system, lugged the monitor out, went up to $939 couldn't find the deal on this system told me to come back later. You make cheaper price MSY or I call police right now!
