Gigantic displays just like the Samsung Odyssey Ark are likely to seize the headlines, however the fact is that only a few of us will truly purchase one, both out of fundamental frugality or simply the truth that it could crack our desk in half from the burden alone. The newest Asus gaming monitor may be a reduction in that regard. The ROG Swift PG38UQ is a 38-inch 4K monitor with a normal flat panel and 16:9 side ratio. That means it’ll match on even a small desk, as long as you don’t have a large gaming rig or different displays combating for house.

How a lot will the PG38UQ value, and when can you purchase it? Unfortunately Asus hasn’t stated but, past a Q3 launch.
