Asus shows off 4K IGZO 31.5-inch monitor

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 31 May 2013 10:46 User comments (3)

Asus has unveiled their PQ321 monitor, an extremely high-end 31.5-inch IGZO display with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160).

Additionally, the monitor will be the thinnest 4K (UltraHD) yet, at just 35mm.

The display has dual HDMI ports and DisplayPort, and the company says you can combine two inputs at the same time to offer picture-by-picture support.

4K UHD monitors remain a dream for most, given the prices and the lack of current generation support for such outputs. However, Intel's upcoming HD Graphics 5000 (integrated card) will offer 4K resolution support via DisplayPort 1.2 and should be able to playback 4K video, as well.

Asus says the monitor is aimed at creative users, but should also be popular with gamers with SLI or even larger GPU setups.

There is no word on price or availability, but expect the price to be well above $1000.

I have to admit it'll be a pleasant surprise of it's not too far above $1000 (£660) at that size.
As 1080p was beginning a 24" 1080p Dell (then most people's choice of the best of what was around) was, if I remember rightly, about that.

Rather than TV, 4k makes much more sense as a plausible option on PC right now I think.

Right... for industry and hi-end gamers.... saying it will not be cheap would be an understatement. It will be a 'first-on-the-block' toy.

Yes, even the hi-end Apple monitor was a re-badged Dell at twice the price.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
