Hi Chief!
I'm really curious about this monitor so I have a couple of questions, don't know if you can answer them:
-Do we know if this monitor support 4K 60HZ signals on consoles like it does the Benq EX2510?
This feature has not been tested, but I will test it within the next internal validation session (testing PVT firmware).

Is there any approximate price range?
It is a very competitive relative to other 240 Hz IPS and top-end 240 Hz TN monitors. Not as cheap as the cheapest 240 Hz, but not the most expensive 240 Hz either.
Which is great, because this is the world’s most flexible 240 Hz strobed IPS — nothing else can do any-Hz single strobe, console+PC compatible. Making this the most console-optimized 240 Hz monitor ever (so far)

This is too specific and probably need to wait for reviews but I try: do we know the minimum brightness value of the screen when in FreeSync/G-Sync mode? I suppose you will have lower (and adjustable) values while using ULMB or such but I'm interested on the minimum nits value without using that function.
As an expectation-setting move, nonstrobed won’t go as super-dim as a Mac monitor at 1% brightness setting. But I did get them to extend the minimum brightness range to what this particular PWM-free panel allows. Plus PureXP+ Custom also kind of solves the problem:
The good news is strobed has a much wider brightness adjustment range than XG270 when you use the “Custom” setting of PureXP. It gives you 40 notches of brightness adjustment range in the brightness-vs-clarity tradeoff of a pulse width adjustment. The dimmest strobe and the brightest strobe is a 40x brightness difference — Pulse Width 1% versus Pulse Width 40%. The moderate voltage boost means Pulse Width 40% is almost as bright as Pulse Width 100% (aka strobing = OFF).
While Pulse Width 1% is extremely dim - much dimmer than Brightness 0% of non-strobed. So you can use Strobe Utility system tray as essentially a defacto wide-range brightness adjustment by readjusting pulse width for the specific game or time of day (daytime vs nighttime). At 240 strobes per second it is sufficiently eye friendly enough to keep on permanently for many people — depending on how flicker sensitive you are (especially versus motion blur eyestrain)
This expectations-guiding move is intended to show, that some of us agree that brightness ranges (of nonstrobed) is not sufficiently wide enough in many panels — it is a hardware limitation as dimmer settings is not possible on this panel in a PWM-free mode. But conveniently PureXP+ is an optional “blur-friendly PWM mode”, wihch means you can get the panel even dimmer if you wished.
PureXP+ Custom 1% is 40x dimmer than PureXP+ Custom 40% — you’ve got a REALLY wide brightness adjustment range via PureXP+ Custom. The brightest setting I am able to get exceeds 200 nits at 40% setting (Light) at 120Hz, while the dimmest setting is 1/40th the brightness at 1% setting. Estimated production ballpark would be 200-250 nits strobing for PureXP 40% setting, with the other settings progressively dimmer. Please note, panel variances apply and reviewers will reveal the final behaviors — hopefully they haven’t tweaked the voltage boost too much between my prototype and the final. The goldilocks setting of brighter strobe without wearing out backlight LEDs. I am _pretty_ sure it will stay above 200 nits at the 40% setting.
As a very likely strobe favourite 240Hz IPS panel now — nobody else is strobing this flexibly in 240Hz IPS. Plus the bonus of low console input lag, a rarity in 240 Hz panels.
