I want this so bad...but I also want ultrawide monitor.
If they make an ultrawide equivalant to this, I would buy it in a heartbeat, it pretty much has everything checkmarked.
If someone buys two, don't forget about me!

No OLED makes me a sad panda.

Sadly I think QD is going to eat OLED's lunch. OLED won't even have the chance to become the new Plasma...
If that thing was an ultrawide it would be the dream but it would be sooooooo expensive.

Damn, the PG27UQ is pretty much what I've been waiting for and more.
I just feel like waiting a bit for the new HDMI specifications so that G-Sync might become obsolete and Nvidia won't charge premiums for it anymore.
But it's not like that benefits me much in terms of technology advancement.

I feel like people have been waiting for / asking for OLED for a really, really, really long time now.
Is there even any indication that OLEDs are going to be more affordable / widespread any time soon?

So with the HDMI 2.1 announcement is G Sync actually worthwhile still? Will HDMI 2.1 do everything G Sync does or is it only similar in supporting VRR?

£1200+ (probably).
I'd have to wait until Spring 2018 (saving) before I could do that. Hmm... By then it might drop in price to like £800
At least my daydreams just got a whole lot more exciting.
HDMI is just the interface standard, you still need a GPU on the source system that specifically supports the feature. It's another way to support variable refresh but we don't know the important details about how it performs yet. Knowing TV manufacturers, when equipment does begin to support it, we'll get a variety of TVs with different variable refresh ranges and varying quality of implementation.
There's no way for it to actually replace G-Sync, not least because HDMI is not a computer interface and is designed to serve the needs of consumer entertainment equipment. They will co-exist.

I would assume it's more like Free-sync, without the hardware compensation for low frame rates that g-sync has (although this can be done in software as well). Going to be a while before we get anything that is up to this standard though. Standard is not even officially released until Q2 2017.
Maybe a refurbished one...

Ah thanks for the help there guys. For a moment I became hopeful the price of my dream monitor may be dropping drastically. I'll probably still keep saving and waiting for G Sync in the right monitor then.

Does anyone know if quantum dot ips displays still have that ips glow and poor contrast?
Only info I can find on quantum dot ips is the display used on LG G4 and I've never actually seen one in person.

In regard to contrast, it's not so much about the quantum dots (those are, IIRC, primarily to reach the color space), it's about the local dimming.
If that is implemented well (and fast) -- and it should be, this is probably the first local dimming implementation targeted entirely at gaming -- it should result in a massively higher contrast picture for most content than any LCD monitor before it.

Sounds great! Hopefully local dimming doesn't raise the price too much. I'd pay up to $1500 for a monitor like this since it looks to be quite future proof too.
Maybe I'll finally get to play dark games with the lights off as they were meant to be played!

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I need a 4K 32"+ monitor. I am willing to pay 1.2k for it, but nothing good will pop up.
G-Sync HDR? Que announcement at NVIDIA CES conference.
Monitor of my dreams requires some shady, dark reality in return through the use of empty pockets.
The question is whether or not the panel can respond quick enough to keep up with the refresh rate. If it doesn't, it'll be a blurry mess like the Predator Z35. VA, 144-200Hz, 2560x1080, and worthless at high refresh rates.

Well I was gonna buy this Dell Ultrawide:

But now I'd like to see how that HP Omen does.

Are 1080p gysnc monitors good?
Seems like it mostly depends whether you want an IPS yeah?
Unless I don't understand what an AMVA panel is.

1920x1080 + G-Sync for only $100 more than I paid for my XL2540. Hmmm..
They're 1080p and have G-Sync. If you're ok with 1080p, then G-Sync is great and there's no reason you wouldn't like it.

I'm so ready for this. CES 2017 didn't fail me.

Q3 loololol..
Should be at least 32 inches 16:9. Ideally 40inches
27 is too tiny for immersion.

Any Freesync 2 monitors yet?

The main difference is TV's are much easier to retask, especially for families wanting to use it as their main viewing screen. TV's Just provide so much more value respectively. I mean don't get me wrong. I absolutely love my Asus MG279Q. IPS 144hz, freesync etc. It was $440 on sale. My TV is 55" KS8000 4K HDR, VA panel, not OLED, but stunning compared to my monitor and still suits a lot of my needs, would be perfect if it had slightly lower input lag (20ms is generally still pretty great though) and could take advantage of its native 120hz panel, would love freesync as well. Still even with its restrictions, for $729 that's hard to beat. I can't imagine getting a monitor anywhere near that good for the price, not to mention the size. Seems to me we are at a point where PC gamers need to start embracing TV's and TV's manufscturers need to start embracing gamers, including PC.
This is where I'm at. Glad to see that the omnimonitor finally exists, but I can't go back to 16:9.
We're so close though. Next year, hopefully.
ASUS ROG Swift Curved PG348Q Gaming Monitor - 34" 21:9 Ultra-wide QHD (3440x1440), overclockable 100Hz , G-SYNC ?
$1199 is not bad at all.

Wow, awesome price on the PG27UQ. Sucks that it's not coming out for so long, though. Decisions.
Yeah, I'd have expected them to go even higher for the first local dimming / HDR monitor (especially when it also has 144 Hz and G-sync!)
Perhaps they know more about the state of the market 9 months from now than we do, which prevents them from charging more.
