1440p Ultrawide HDR Gsync monitors (Predator X35, ROG Swift PG35VQ, AU Optronics)

[jonathanchitty]

So I've been following the development of these monitors for nearly two years now. Prototypes have shown up at various trade shows around the world, and I seem to recall that the original release date for the products were in Q1/Q2 2018. We are now well in to Q3 and news on the monitors has completely dried up.

I understand the panels themselves will be produced by AU Optronics, and although I haven't yet sat through the Q2 conference call I can't seem to find any information on where they are at with 200hz 1440p ultrawide production.

Does anyone know what the expected release date for these monitors is now? Also, if anyone has any information on pricing I'd be grateful (surely cheaper than the recent ACER/ASUS/AU Optronics 4k 144hz Gsync 2 HDR monitors?!)

Thanks in advance

No mention of the panels in AU Optronics' Q1/Q2 earnings calls (though some talk of a focus on premium high end gaming panels) and nothing from Acer's IFA 2018 (Berlin) announcements so far, despite releasing at least 2 new monitors...
