  Strange this monitor doesn't have HDMI 2.1. Besides that (& pending Dolby Vision HDR & HLG HDR support), it checks all the boxes at a fair price given the price of the Lenovo & Asus (PA32UCG & the gaming oriented one they just announced) pro equivalents coming up

  I think there is a mistake in this article. Elsewhere on the internet the Acer version is meant to have:
  
  Three HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 and four USB 3.0 ports.
  
  It is the Asus model, oddly, that has:
  
  a single DisplayPort 1.4 and three HDMI 2.0 ports.
  
  I'm still very interested in a high end monitor like these but not at 4:2:2 and not when the LG OLED I bought a few months ago has HDMI 2.1.

  $3600 for a 32" LCD monitor.
  
  You are out of your minds.
  
  I spent $4500 on a 77" LG OLED a few months ago.

  All these backlit monitors are terrible so far. Way overpriced. Anyone still excited? We've had 3 years, but no real price drops. OLED is the way to go.
  
  2020 no HDMI 2.1, chroma subsampling etc., just an old G-sync ultimate monitor... DoA

  and? size isn't the cost factor, its the tech in it. A TV can not be compared to a monitor, people are still not getting that in 2022?

  Any mention on if this screen will have a fan in it like the 27" ones? I'm really hoping they can move past active cooling sometime.

  Considering the G-Sync Ultimate hardware module alone costs ~$500, I can't say I'm surprised. Definitely not worth it, but not surprised.

  Again at that insane price, why wouldn't I just buy an LG OLED TV, especially one of the new 2020 models?

• imaheadcase - Thursday, January 13, 2022 - link

  Because its a TV not a monitor? You do know that TV and PC screens are made differently right? right? Its 2022 and i still see people trying to compare specs like they are equal. lol

  Hdmi 2.1 or bust especially at that price range.

  No DSC and 4:2:2 ? Crap

• nevcairiel - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link

  Rather get HDMI 2.1 or DP 2.0 to get by without needing any sort of compression, neither DSC nor chroma subsampling.
  
  I suppose they are trying to save money on the HDMI 2.1 module as no graphics cards support it yet. Guess 2020 is not my new monitor year quite yet (even if it wouldn't have been this one specifically, anyway).

  Turing supports HDMI 2.1 VRR so no excuse. And Nvidia will certainly support HDMI 2.1 with their upcoming GPUs. I dunno why AMD is releasing cards 2020 without it. Then again Navi has been pretty confusing in value proposition w/ a Navi 2 I guess to actually have a PC AMD card that's also next-gen ready (ray-tracing & so on).

  Ouch. I thought Acer has competitive prices.
