Just saw this announced and didn't see it anywhere else about new ASUS monitors in the forums yet. :)

Wooo doggie that's one hot monitor. I'll have to keep reminding myself that I can't afford the graphics card(s) needed to drive that resolution at that frame rate so I don't break into nervous sweats.

I've posted about it now:

Probably includes strobing (aka LightBoost / ULMB) too!

Hm, interesting. First official above 60 Hz above 1080P LCD monitor. But TN panel, not sure about this one.

Yeah, I am still a huge IPS fan myself. When I see a TN display, I just groan.

What kind of card does it take to push a resolution like this at this refresh rate?

Was super excited until I read "TN panel".

ASUS claims it is a very high-end TN panel, so it will be interesting to see what this means, but I would still prefer VA or IPS.

This display looks pretty enticing! :D I love the colors on my Dell U2713HM, but I do all of my online/timing sensitive gaming on my ASUS VG248QE. It looks to be a nice in-between option for those willing to sacrifice color quality.

My only concern is the ability of current single GPUs to keep 100+fps @ 1440p in modern games like BF4 for ULMB. By the time it comes out hopefully the GTX 8xx series will be unveiled. :mrgreen:

Well, here's hoping for a new 24" 1080p G-Sync from Asus...
