AUO, not Asus or Acer is responsible for that. AUO hopefully learned their lessons from last year and the last gen of these kind of monitors they supplied.
I bought one of those fancy ultrawide Gsync monitors last year. A little late to the party, and I like the aspect ratio but man is the backlighting garbage. Pricing is horrible too. I saw the followup entries that were: 1) super-late to market 2) RIDICULOUSLY expensive
Seems like these companies are going to price this market segment out of existence if they keep this up.
Things are different this case the non-gaming ones are prices & featured in a way these can't overboard with AUO getting their stuff together to not be so delayed.
Otherwise AUO will strain their relationship too much w/ manufacturers, IMO
These mini-LED products are pricey. Not sure how they still have a face to sell these considering the LG's G-Sync TVs costs less and has larger panels.
They better have Dolby Vision HDR & HLG HDR; LG OLED TVs sensibly do. It would be a super strange omission in 2020 for these high-end monitors when their non-gaming equivalents have them for those panels also supplied by AUO it seems.
The whole "LG adopts G-SYNC compatible" line is very cute.
Translation: we stopped arbitrarily blocking a perfectly good royalty-free VRR solution on our products, but we're still going to act like you need our overpriced snake oil to make it work.
$3600 for the Acer one. Why on Earth would gamers want to buy this when the Lg OLED 48” TV with HDMI 2.1 NVDA Gsync Compatible is gonna be less than $1k? No matter how many zone the miniled monitor has it is still inferior to OLED.
Because 48" is still waaaaay too big for 99.99% of PC gamers. And OLED burn in on games with HUD's over long playing sessions is also extremely bad which is why they don't make any OLED gaming monitors.
