Getting closer to that ideal 1440p display I've always wanted but I've pretty much moved past now. Still a nice looking display by the specs. I'll be curious about the pricing on it. I rumors elsewhere that this presently is a China only item but I don't know how true that is and if so for how long. Seems to me there should be a large global market for something like this. Meanwhile I just got one of those MSI Optix MAG 31" 2560x1080 21:9 G-Sync HDR 200 Hz IPS monitors. Mostly loving it but it's only around 400 nits and that's my only real complaint with it(but I did know that going in). Displays with 1000 nits are finally gaining a foothold but we'll see about the price and you pretty much need that level of brightness for HDR to truly be worth it. I paid $400 for that Optix, who knows what this will go for.
