4K 28-inch monitor with G-Sync
Something for future aspirations - ASUS is showing off a concept of 4K 28-inch monitor with G-Sync on its booth in Computex. While Nvidia also showed the PQ321Q with G-Sync during CES, that required two G-Sync modules to run the MST display. This model has a single 4K panel running at 60Hz over DP1.2, meaning it requires just one G-Sync module, which is far more user friendly. At this stage there's no price, ETA or even brand name attached to the concept on show; it's just to exhibit ASUS'-leading technology.
