Just came out about a month ago unnoticed. A late to the party, 1080p IPS panel(On Asus site it says IPS so LG?) with 144hz, Freesync and some strobing modes (no idea if it's 120hz strobing or 144)
I personally think it is pretty interesting proposition for those wanting to stick with 1080p. It's less demanding than 1440p and does not have any issues with scaling and so on, which both 1440p and 4k monitors have displaying locked 1080p content. Price is also pretty good at 350-400usd (although not great since 4k 60hz is just 100$ more expensive).
No HDR, no wide gamut dci-p3 space and sadly no gsync version.
1080p at 27" is nothing to write home about but as a user of simple 1080p 27" 60hz ips with no adjustable stand, vesa or any features, this looks like an interesting proposition to me. 1080p is ok with ps4, 144hz and strobing is an upgrade for pc gaming. Vesa and height adjustable stand add versatility that I do not have right now and weirdly many monitors at this price point don't.
Guess we need to wait for some reviews and tests of contrast, blb, glow amount, motion blur, effect of 144hz and strobing on colors and contrast, coating type used and so on.
I am almost interested to pick this up myself but I have a feeling that contrast will crap itself in 144hz and/or strobing modes. Also, 4k would be more future proof at this point probably
