Last week we told you about the new 31.5 inch 4K monitor from Asus, the Asus PQ321, and now it looks we have some pricing details on this new ultra HD monitor. Asus have told the Verge that it will launch in the US this month for around $4,000.
The Asus PQ321 features a resolution of 3480 x 2160 pixels and 140ppi, it comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio and is an LED backlit monitor with an 8ms GTG response time, 350 cd/m2 brightness, and 176 degree viewing angles. It also features a pair of 2w speakers.
Advanced Display Technology
The Asus PQ321 is not just another monitor; it represents a significant leap in display technology. The 4K resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD, offers an incredibly detailed and sharp image. This makes it an excellent choice for professionals in fields such as graphic design, video editing, and photography, where high resolution and color accuracy are crucial. The 140 pixels per inch (ppi) density ensures that images and text are crisp and clear, reducing the strain on your eyes during long hours of use.
The LED backlighting technology used in the PQ321 provides better energy efficiency and a longer lifespan compared to traditional CCFL backlighting. The 8ms GTG (Gray-to-Gray) response time is particularly beneficial for gamers and those who watch fast-paced videos, as it reduces motion blur and ghosting, providing a smoother visual experience.
Connectivity and Ergonomics
In addition to its impressive display capabilities, the Asus PQ321 also offers a range of connectivity options. It includes DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, allowing you to connect multiple devices such as PCs, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players. This versatility makes it a central hub for both work and entertainment.
Ergonomics have also been considered in the design of the PQ321. The monitor stand is adjustable, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and adjust the height to find the most comfortable viewing angle. This is particularly important for reducing neck and back strain during extended use. The monitor also supports VESA wall mounting, giving you the flexibility to save desk space and create a cleaner setup.
Asus has also integrated a pair of 2-watt speakers into the monitor, providing basic audio output without the need for external speakers. While these built-in speakers may not replace a dedicated sound system, they are convenient for everyday use and reduce the clutter of additional cables and devices.
Asus have not confirmed an exact launch date for the device, all we know is that it will launch some time this month, and it will retail for around $4,000.
