    Is the ball head camera mount on top of the monitor included in the package/integrated into the monitor? That is a nifty addition for streamers not wanting to use the janky mounts of most webcams or mount a more serious camera securely without a tripod.

    Also, is that the "special knob on top" mentioned in the post? 'Cause it's definitely a ball-head camera mount (though technically capable of holding anything with a compatible mounting hole). It definitely has nothing to do with adjusting the monitor's ergonomics.

    Honestly most streamers have moved away from webcams themselves and just use DSLR camera as device.

    Which makes a ball head screw mount all the more relevant :)

    On the MPG341CQR (their last flagship UW) it is removable, same as the included mouse bungee/hook thing. This just looks like a revised variant with a bigger screen and the same overall design - RGB light bar included.

    That sounds like an excellent solution. I didn't imagine it being fixed, but having the option at all is really good. Heck, I don't stream, but I can still see several neat use cases for a ball-head mount atop my monitor.

    *cough*, it's not near-4K resolution. It's near-4K wide if you want to put it that way, but 'resolution' it's not near it. A near-4K resolution would be closer to 5120x2160 for this size screen.

    This is just a disappointing release. WHY? When you see Asus release a 32" 4K HDR1400, why do you release this piece of trash? Get that HDR1000 and then you got my cash.

    And if MSI / LG / ACER feels like it they can deliver something more, like say:
    IPS 5120x2160p @ 100Hz (2-4ms response time), HDR1000/1400 with G-Sync Ultimate+FreeSync Premium Pro with nearly bezel-less panel.

    You do realize there is such a thing as price points and segmentation when it comes to products, right? Just because something doesn't have the specs of a monitor that will likely be several thousand dollars doesn't make it a "piece of trash".

    That was my thought exactly!

    Wide, curved display - game displayed on it with black bars to either side - Brilliant selling technique.
