Exactly. I was like.... who is the target consumer for this? No one is going to hook up a battery powered 17" 1080p display to a desktop. And if you have a laptop that can benefit from a super fast screen, it probably has one already. And no one does dual screen FPS.... so WTF ASUS?

Yeah I do not get this at all...
Would it be for like a pro gamer who doesnt use a laptop? Has like a Tiny ITX case and this monitor?
Seems weird and I cant say I have seen that setup before but maybe?
Personally my second monitor needs to just be like 120hz if I was picking monitors now. anything past that is just for my gaming eyes IMHO.
