New gaming monitors at CES2017 (VA, IPS, TN, 240 Hz, etc.)

I also sincerely hope it reviews well. This looks very interesting. Will buy if this one turns out to be a good display for a reasonable price.
Maybe I'm missing something, but without accounting for any protocol overhead (or audio for that matter) 3840*2160*30*144 bit per second is 35.831808 Gigabit/s. Displayport 1.4 is 32.4 Gigabit/s.
Don't be shocked, but I think that would be rather cheap.
This is a monitor that features multiple things never before seen in a monitor.

Now we're talking! I think I found my next monitor.
I think it may need two inputs. One cable is good enough for 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz 10-bit colour HDR. It's going to depend if the display supports the visually lossless compression feature. It could be they decided not to for some reason and so went with two inputs instead without DSC.
that stand...just...WHY? the rest looks fine and then they throw on that tripod with g4m3rz flair. so god damned ugly.
look. 27" 1440p 144hz gsync. thats the aesthetic i want (and have) on my desk. simple and clean. 1440p is good enough for me now. my 1070 has trouble running new games at 100+fps, but its close enough that im satisfied. that said, ill upgrade to 4k when 100+fps is achievable with a midrange ~$400 gpu.
Might be using compression
http://www.displayport.org/faq/#Display Stream Compression (DSC) FAQs
Didn't dell announce something last year that never came out? Maybe they will announce it again.
I'm assuming they're using DSC (display stream compression), which is the main difference between DP1.3 and DP1.4. Although it would be interesting to see what (if any) impact this would have on both image quality and latency.
Oh, I forgot about the compression. Well, we'll see. Maybe it's irrational but in a way I'd enjoy that two cable solution 
I'm somewhat confident about that, since ASUS also did basically the first good IPS G-sync monitor. (Had excellent pixel switching times and overdrive at all refresh rates too)

So the backlight has to be at full for HDR content to be displayed properly right? At normal monitor viewing distances this it seems like it could get fatiguing really quickly. FALD on an IPS panel is something I haven't seen yet, I know there is a Vizio out there that does it. The curved VA looks good, hopefully we see some 2K non curved VA displays w/ G-Sync.
FWIW though I do think that Asus looks wonderful, the FALD even w/o HDR is a nice bonus.

I thought the price for gsync monitors would've come down by now, but it seems like it has actually gone up. They must be selling quite well.
Dell did announce an OLED 30" for an insane amount of money last year, I remember lol.

Only $5K, dirt cheap peasant stuff.
Edit: I was told late last year that LG will be unveiling 1 or 2 OLED monitors this year as well. But still wait and see on this.

Of course it's going to review well. Equally likely are fairly consistent quality complaints for 6 mo+ after launch.
That said I appreciate those of you brave enough to live on the bleeding edge of monitor technology.

The most promising so far that I've found is the HP Omen X35.
3440 × 1440 on 35"
G-Sync up to 100 Hz
2500:1 contrast (AMVA panel)
100% sRGB
1199€
I'm not a huge fan of the curvature, but it ticks all the other boxes I want. Now to wait for reviews and pixel switching time measurements. It also doesn't look too much like g4m0rZ equipment.
Been drooling over this since it was announced yesterday, but man I just can't stomach the price just yet. It's not even about affording it, I just have a mental barrier that prevents me from spending over $1000 on a single computer component.
Once something like this hits $1000 or less, I am ALL IN.
I hate it too, but Asus do a good job of keeping the monitor itself (bezel etc) clean. I unplug the stand and use a VESA table mount, ends up looking like a normal desktop monitor.

Really curious about the price on this. Sounds pretty amazing on paper, though I wish it were a little bigger.
This may be the one for me.
This may be the one that makes me return to posting screenshots on GAF.
$1500 minimum, bet.
Asus monitor would be perfect if it wasn't 27 inches, I really dislike that display size for 4k. Requires too high of dpi scaling, which makes the monitor seem very small in desktop mode (and apps or games that don't support proper dpi scaling would be a nightmare to use with tiny ui). 40 inches is perfect for 4k without having to use much dpi scaling (what I currently use), but I'd expect 4k pc monitors to be more in the 32-35 inch range. Not getting a 27 inch one, that's for sure.
I declare bankruptcy
With fast mouse movements you can probably tell.
I agree that 30-32" is better than 27" for 4K.
40" for desktop is probably too big for my liking though.

I'd easily jump on that Asus monitor if it was in the 35" range.
I too find 27" quite small for 4K from personal experience.

It looks like Nvidia has new g-sync module then since previous one maxed aroound 3440x1440@100 Hz
And wow I so want this
If they made it 32" and Oled my kidney would be in danger.SapientWolf

I'm wondering if you get better motion quality with less blurring at that refresh rate without black frame insertion. I'm starting to think BFI is more important than Gsync for fast paced gaming.

That Asus looks aesthetically like trash... Why can't they just make quality things look good.
40" was just right for me(Wasabi Mango). 27" was too small (PG27AQ).
It seems they are branding it "G-Sync HDR". And yeah, it's clearly a new module.It looks like Nvidia has new g-sync module then since previous one maxed aroound 3440x1440@100 Hz

It will almost certainly be VESA compatible. At the price its likely to retail at, replacing the stand is the least of your worries

I still can't get over how ugly and embarrassing those monitors look. It's like they have learned absolutely nothing from what has made Apple products such a hit with consumers this past decade. Pure abominations.

It's more than the stand. The back of it has crappy faux-circuitry etched into it.
Edit: Unless these are just mock-ups and not representative of the final product (please be the case).
Edit2: Also that 'Republic of Gamers' logo has GOT to go in general. Better yet drop that lame branding all together. It sounds so stupid.
You dont see directly the whole screen.
Just like people who say "TN is fine I sit on front of my screen, not on the side".
If you look at top of of your screen are those pixels on same angle than when you look at bottom of your screen?

I've checked 34" widescreen g-sync Asus which looks similarly and it's 100mm Vesa compatible so we should be fine.

Are all these curved monitors actually curved both vertically and horizontally or only horizontally? Reading your post made me realize that I've never actually paid attention to that aspect. Looking at some images it seems like they are only curved horizontally. I guess vertical curvature with the same radius wouldn't be very noticable anyway. Horizontal-only also makes manufacturing less complex I suppose.

I am looking forward to a new price/performance 1440p/144hz/IPS monitor. Pretty sure that I am going to get a new monitor this year and it would be nice to get something new as opposed to some older 2015-2016 Asus/AOC ones. Let me know if that kind of monitor emerges in the expo.
Holy shit, this is what i've been waiting for. It will be too expensive for me, but at least the sooner they start coming out the sooner they'll start dropping in price.

One of these two will be my upgrade once my 1440p 144Hz GSync panel has served its time. Which will not be for several years.
So maybe by then there will be other options too.
What I'm really trying to say is both of these are sexy as fuck.
That stand looks the same as the one for the Asus ROG Swift PG348Q, which, according to the Asus product page, has a standard 100x100mm vesa mount.
Edit:
Here's an image of what that looks like without the stand:
