Would have bought this if it wasn't 27". That's just too small for 4k. Those 34" Ultrawides with lower resolutions are more appealing than this. Don't think I can go from 40" to 27" even if I jump from 60hz to 144hz. If this was at least 32" I would have bought on day 1.

I enjoy the Magic Color(gamma) and Dynamic Contrast extended features of my monitor very much.
I'm sure they will be coveted the same in the eyes of the users. You just cannot compare the reliability of normal LCDs to other technologies however much we wish to improve upon them.
The joke is not on this monitor - it fulfills the HDR10 specification to the letter. It is actually a ploy on Nvidia users who thought they would employ the full Dolby Vision (12-bit, 10,000 contrast) standard with their would be superior hardware. The standards are established when oems establish them, not the moment your virtual support level says so.

What's up with a thick bezel? That resolution is way too small for a 27". The design isn't bad overall but I still prefer PG279Q looks.

Is the size thing just a preference. Same resolution, smaller screen, smaller pixels, higher DPI... is this a good that as long as its not too small for where your sitting? or is it just the fact that on a 36 you wont notice a quality loss and your get a bigger screen? I was measuring a 34 today and that was just huge for me.

I use a 32" Crossover 324k and I love, Love, the Size.



32" Is on the Left, 27" 1440p Qnix is on the Right.

I've had 24" (Typing on it at work to you right now)

Used the 27" for a Good 2 years, and the 32" for over 6 months at this point.

I agree with others that the size is too small. 4K should be at least 32". The price is going to be outrageous. Sucks that my 65" HDR TV is cheaper than a 27" monitor...

All I gotta say is if you pay anywhere near $1k for this you're crazy..

I bought my 65KS8000 for $1079. To pay near that price for a 27" monitor is madness. $600 is where I would draw the line, and even then that would be for 32" not 27.

These are somewhat interesting. I don't know about the 27", but my Asus 28" 4K60P monitors are great. Granted, I see how this size would annoy many users based on their vision, I am ok with it.

I know a single Titan XP would not be able to consistently drive this thing, maybe next arch's flagship will.

This is a legitimate question but, how close are you guys sitting to your monitors?

We used to have a 34in TV as our main tv for years...I can't imagine putting it 2-3 feet from my face.

I currently have a 27" PG279Q and I have to sit really close to the monitor due to apartment restrictions, it's actually a bit too big because I need to turn my head a bit. Gonna get this one probably.

You should hop in the KS8000 Thread! We would love to have you.

I bought the 49"

Please PLEASE make this 32"-34" and its instant buy for me!

PS. I think the price will be insane though

Yep, pricing will be high and it will take a pair of SLI Titan XPs or 1080Tis to drive it.

But 2018, the second iteration of this should see a larger panel with some of the issues that this one will present resolved. Yes, make it in 32 or 34 inch and I will need to get a wider room with a wider desk to run three of them.
