Today, at Computex 2017, we unveiled two new 35 curved G-SYNC HDR monitors from Acer and ASUS. Featuring a 21:9 aspect ratio, 3440x1440 resolution, and 1800R curvature, these monitors provide wrap-around immersion for gameplay, videos and day-to-day desktop work.
The monitors' new 35 LCD panel was designed in concert with AU Optronics, delivering the ultimate in HDR and gaming capabilities in a curved 21:9 wide-aspect ratio. Making full use of the bandwidth of the latest DisplayPort 1.4 specification, the WQHD panel refreshes at up to 200Hz for tear-free, ultra-smooth, responsive gaming. And, its HDR capabilities break new ground with a 512 zone full direct array backlight that sports a peak brightness of 1000 nits, for stunning and intense highlights, and exceptional contrast. In addition, DCI-P3 color gamut support is enhanced with a Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF) for outstanding color expression.
To summarize:
- 3440x1440 @ 35" (ideal PPI for real estate / usability for legacy applications)
- 200 Hz G-sync (holy crap)
- 512 zone backlight (that's some of the highest I've ever seen, and we still don't even have a single released monitor with zoned backlight)
- HDR with 1000 nits max brightness and DCI-P3 color gamut (together with the zoned backlight: actual HDR!)
It's basically exactly what I want. If there's no big snafu in the implementation I'm all the way there.
