At Computex this week ASUS is showing off a prototype of the new ROG 3800R monitor, a 34-in curved display with a 3440×1440 resolution and G-Sync variable refresh rate capability. ASUS claims on its PCDIY blog that the 21:9 aspect ratio was the one of the "most requested" specifications for a new ROG monitor, followed by a curved design. The result is a gorgeous display:
Here's a list of specifications:
- 34” optimal dimension for QHD resolutions with 3440×1440 resolution
- 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio for increased immersion and improved horizontal workflow
- IPS based panel for superior color reproduction, black levels and reduction of color shifting
- NVIDIA G-SYNC equipped offering smooth, fluid and tear free gaming with improved motion clarity. Additionally equipped with ULMB operating mode for outstanding motion clarity.
- Frameless design for seamless surround gaming
- ASUS exclusive GamePlus feature and Turbo Key
- Ergonomic adjustment including tilt, swivel and height adjustment
Hot damn, we want of these and we want it yesterday! There is no mention of the refresh rate of the display here though we did see information from NVIDIA that ASUS was planning a 34×14 60 Hz screen – but we are not sure this is the same model being shown. And the inclusion of ULMB would normally indicate a refresh rate above 60-75 Hz…
Another interesting note: this monitor appears to include both DisplayPort and HDMI connectivity.
This 34-inch 3800R curved display features wide-viewing angles, a 3440 x 1440 native resolution, and 21:9 aspect ratio. It features NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ display technology to deliver smooth, lag-free visuals. G-SYNC synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the GPU in any GeForce® GTX™-powered PC to eliminate screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input lag. This results in sharper, more vibrant images; and more fluid and responsive gameplay. It has extensive connectivity options that include DisplayPort and HDMI.
The above information came from ASUS just a few short hours ago, so you can assume that it is accurate. Could this be the start of panels that integrate dual scalars (G-Sync module plus something else) to offer more connectivity or has the G-Sync module been updated to support more inputs? We'll find out!
All of what I want in one
All of what I want in one product. Perfect: big screen high resulution 21:9 ips panel frame less high refresh rate with blur reduction and gsync.
I’m getting one when it comes
I’m getting one when it comes out! Period!
If only 60 hz, I will not buy
If only 60 hz, I will not buy it. 75 hz I can live with. If this thing is over 75 hz I will trade my wife for one! My guess is this will be a $1000 monitor. better start saving up!
You wouldn’t know the
You wouldn’t know the difference in 60Hz and 75Hz if it came up and bit you in the ass.
I bet you are one of those people who think DPI in a mouse makes you better at games.
I want one !…no wait
I want one !…no wait ….three ! … gimme three !
Its amazing how most of you
Its amazing how most of you bitching about it not being 100Hz+ have no idea of how GSync works.
Watch this if you happen to be one of those people:

Now realize that all gsync/freesync is taking allowing monitors to place a chip inside the monitor so it can match the timings of the GPU. Beforehand, where most of you used vsync or didn’t, the monitor didn’t have that technology.
So while gsync/freesync sounds new, it really isn’t. Its really just better technology of vsync. If you didn’t use vsync before so you could get those nice spikes of 100+ fps, then its likely you don’t want gsync/freesync anyway. A computer running at 60FPS will look and run more smooth, than a regular BenQ TN 144Hz monitor will.
If you happen to be one of those people who say otherwise, then just save yourself the time and money and go buy a regular 4k monitor that you still won’t even hit 100 FPS on at max resolution (unless you happen to have a few titans in your machine)
