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.

What are the cons of having a large TV as a monitor? I've been considering something like this recently, and I wonder why is this not more common.

high latency on TVs make it bad for games etc. as anyhting thats sensitive on IO timings can feel a bit off. even 5ms compared to 1 or 2ms response times is noticable by a lot in hand-eye coordination across io -> monitor.

The problem with using this kind of monitor for any work that others will view on their own monitors is that your perception of what looks good will be way off. For example, it's clear that a lot of the Rust UI framework developers have been working on Macs for the last few years. The font rendering on many of those look bad once you plug them into a more normal DPI monitor. If they hadn't been using Macs with Retina…

As a designer, one should keep a couple of cheap, low-res monitors reset to the factory defaults for proofing what many users are going to see.

I must confess I felt a lot of lust looking at the self color calibration feature.

It is extremely useful if your work ends up in paper. For photography (edit: film and broadcast, too) would be great.

My use case are comics and illustration, so a self-color-correcting cintiq or tablet would be great for me.

I tried a 32" 4k for a while but the form factor never worked for me. 8k seems absurd after working with that monitor. 27" 1440p is much easier to drive and live with day to day. I can still edit 4k+ content on this display. It's not like I'm missing critical detail going from 4k=>qhd. I can spot check areas by zooming in. There's a lot of arguments for not having to run 4k/8k displays all day every day. The power sa…

There's two instances where 32" is helpful. First for Xcode and Android Studio, where you write some UI code and the phone/tablet preview on the right, in both horizontal and vertical orientation.

And second for doing writing and research, because recently I had to get a certificate for which I had to write a portfolio of old-fashioned essays. 32" but even 40" is extremely helpful for this. Basically I kept my screen organized in three columns with the word processor on the left, and two PDFs in the middle and on the right.

I was going to joke about 8k@120Hz needing like 4 video cables, but it seems we are not too far from it. [8k@120Hz Gaming on HDMI 2.1 with compression]( https://wccftech.com/8k-120hz-gaming-world-first-powered-by-... ) > With the HDMI 2.2 spec announced at CES 2025 and its official release scheduled for later this year, 8K displays will likely become more common thanks to the doubled (96 Gbps) bandwidth.

My primary monitor is the Samsung 57" 8Kx2K 240Hz ultrawide. That's the same amount of bandwidth, running over DisplayPort 2. It mostly works!

I have three 4K 27" which yield a bit more screen real estate. Otherwise I'd love to go to a single ultrawide.

Me and a friend were just chatting how annoying it is monitors stalled out at 4K. I think I got my first set of 4k monitors ~15 years ago (!) and there's been no improvements since then apart from high end pro monitors resolution wise. Why is this? 5k/6k at 27" would be the sweet spot for me, and potentially 8k at 32". However, I'm not willing to drop $2k per monitor to go from a very nice 27" 4k to 27" 5k. You can g…

as a gamer 8k makes me sweat because i can't imagine what kind of hardware you'd need to run a game :O probably great for text-based work, though!

42" 4k 100%

I don't want to ever go back but I got this 2020 Dell for 200. I don't want to pay 800-1400 if I ever have to replace it

Someone mentioned the latencies for gaming, but also I had a 4K TV as a monitor briefly that had horrible latency for typing, even. Enough of a delay between hitting a key and the terminal printing to throw off my cadence. Only electronic device I’ve ever returned. Also they tend to have stronger than necessary backlights. It might be possible to calibrate around this issue, but the thing is designed to be viewed fro…

> horrible latency for typing Was this the case even after enabling the TVs "game mode" that disables a lot of the latency inducing image processing (e.g. frame interpolation).

game mode is a scam. it breaks display quality on most TVs. and still doesn't respond as fast as a PC monitor with you can think 'but thats inhumanly fast, you wont notice it' but in reality, this is _very_ noticeable in games like counter-strike where hand-eye coordination, speed and pinpoint accuracy are key. if you play such games a lot then you will feel it if the latency goes above 1ms.

6K 32" ProArt model PA32QCV might be more practical for YN crowd at 1299 USD VS 8-9K USD PA32KCX will run you

I've been enjoying the PA32QCV in the last couple months. It's definitely not perfect, but the 220 PPI at 32 inch is just amazing to code on.

Too rich for me. Also I don’t need a creative cloud sub. But I’m the wrong customer for such a monitor. I’ll wait till 8k becomes more of the norm for say 1-1.5k

Human eye resolution is about 1 arcminute. The comfortable field of view is about 60°, or 3600 arcmimutes. A 4K display should mostly suffice %)

But I run double on Mac so an 8k is 4k.
