No mention of 120Hz; I'm waiting for a 6k or higher-density display that can do higher refresh rates.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Competing models seem to top out around 120 Hz but at lower resolutions. I don't imagine there's a universal push for higher refresh rates in this segment anyway. My calibrated displays run at 60 Hz, and I'm happy with that. Photos don't really move much, y'know.

I imagine your mouse still moves plenty though.

There is a lot of marketing material at the linked page. But there is no mention of price and available sizes. Also, there is no link to purchase one. This is November. I can look these things up, but why link to a PR fluff piece if there something more substantial available?

Here's some specs: https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proar...

8K, 32inch, 275ppi, 60Hz 2 Thunderbolt 4, 1 DisplayPort 2.1

I swore a blood oath that I would never buy an Asus product ever again, after three terrible laptops from them in a row, but holy hell do I kind of want this monitor.

My main "monitor" right now is an 85" 8K TV, that I absolutely love, but it would be nice to have something smaller for my upstairs desk.

This is a direct competitor to the Apple Pro Display XDR.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes in at a similar price point.

The sustained 1,000 nit HDR and Dolby Vision support suggest their target market is very specifically film color grading.

They do when you move them (scroll)

8K HDR implies that DSC becomes unavoidable...but DSC's "visually lossless" criteria relies on the human eye and is statistically subjective at face value.

Any domain experts know how that actually squares in practice against automated colorimeter calibration?
