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?

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

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

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

> 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.

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.

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

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.

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

Why does it have blinders?

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

About twice the price of the Dell 8k.
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.
