No mention of 120Hz; I'm waiting for a 6k or higher-density display that can do higher refresh rates.

dietr1ch•1h ago

I was going to joke about 8k@120Hz needing like 4 video cables, but it seems we are not too far from it.

[8k@120Hz Gaming on HDMI 2.1 with compression](https://wccftech.com/8k-120hz-gaming-world-first-powered-by-...)

> With the HDMI 2.2 spec announced at CES 2025 and its official release scheduled for later this year, 8K displays will likely become more common thanks to the doubled (96 Gbps) bandwidth.

Dylan16807•1h ago

Also as far as 6k goes, that's half the bandwidth of 8k.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Competing models seem to top out around 120 Hz but at lower resolutions. I don't imagine there's a universal push for higher refresh rates in this segment anyway. My calibrated displays run at 60 Hz, and I'm happy with that. Photos don't really move much, y'know.

I imagine your mouse still moves plenty though.

> Photos don't really move much, y'know.

They do when you move them (scroll)

And?

Can you provide a ROI point for scrolling photos at 120Hz+ ?

jbellis•1h ago

About twice the price of the Dell 8k.

There is a lot of marketing material at the linked page. But there is no mention of price and available sizes. Also, there is no link to purchase one. This is November. I can look these things up, but why link to a PR fluff piece if there something more substantial available?

> But there is no mention of price and available sizes

No idea about prices, but, assuming they follow the usual conventions for model codes, that's a 32" unit.

Here's some specs: https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proar...

8K, 32inch, 275ppi, 60Hz 2 Thunderbolt 4, 1 DisplayPort 2.1

I shudder to think how small the macOS ui text will be on this but I’m willing to find out.

BoorishBears•1h ago

It'll look normal, maybe even a little big by default if the XDR is anything to go by

OSX does great at scaling UIs for high resolutions

SamuelAdams•55m ago

You can run it natively, but it is better to downscale to 4k or 1080p. I run three 5k versions of this monitor and they are all downscaled to 1440p. I get 1:1 pixel mapping so text looks crisp in every app except Microsoft Teams.

guerrilla•41m ago

Why does it have blinders?

andrewstuart2•40m ago

To prevent glare and reflections usually. Similar to how a lens hood functions.

tombert•38m ago

I swore a blood oath that I would never buy an Asus product ever again, after three terrible laptops from them in a row, but holy hell do I kind of want this monitor.

My main "monitor" right now is an 85" 8K TV, that I absolutely love, but it would be nice to have something smaller for my upstairs desk.

jiggawatts•25m ago

This is a direct competitor to the Apple Pro Display XDR.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes in at a similar price point.

The sustained 1,000 nit HDR and Dolby Vision support suggest their target market is very specifically film color grading.

metaphor•24m ago

8K HDR implies that DSC becomes unavoidable...but DSC's "visually lossless" criteria relies on the human eye and is statistically subjective at face value.

Any domain experts know how that actually squares in practice against automated colorimeter calibration?

altairprime•12m ago

8K 60fps 4:4:4 8bpp uncompressed requires a 96gbit HDMI cable, which is labeled Ultra96 in HDMI 2.2 afaik: https://www.hdmi.org/download/savefile?filekey=Marketing/HDM...

DisplayPort over USB4@4x2/TB5 at 120Gbps would be required for uncompressed 12bpp.

efficax•22m ago

realistically what’s the point of all those pixels at 32 inches? 5k at 27 inches seems more than enough.

metaphor•13m ago

Apparently, ASUS believes there's an addressable market willing to pay a premium for +26.5% color-calibrated PPI in larger form factor.
