For people who needn’t spring for Asus’s upcoming ROG Strix XG438Q, a 43-inch FreeSync 2 HDR gaming monitor with a 4K various and 120Hz refresh worth, there shall be a cheaper mannequin outfitted. The XG43VQ, on account of it’s named, matches the XG438Q in dimension, nonetheless there are some key variations.
For one, the XG43VQ affords a lower various, at 3840×1200 (instead of 3840×2160). That provides it a 32:10 facet ratio, in distinction with 16:9 on the selection one.
The refresh worth is comparable at 120Hz, nonetheless on account of it pertains to HDR visuals, certification drops down a notch from DisplayHDR 600 (XG438Q) to DisplayHDR 400. So, it ought to have a peak brightness of on the very least 400 nits, which is required for the entry-level DisplayHDR badge, nonetheless is unlikely to do HDR content material materials supplies provides justice.
In all actuality, a peak brightness of 1,000 nits is the place HDR really shines (really). The XG438Q wouldn’t hit that stage each, though it has a peak brightness of 750 nits, which is on the very least contained within the neighborhood.
Briefly, the XG43VQ trades some HDR effectivity and a bit of little bit of little little bit of different for a decrease ticket. Notably, Asus is pricing it at €899. That works out to spherical $1,000 in US {{{{dollars}}}}, and whereas companies do not on a regular basis alter to a straight conversion from one territory to the subsequent, we suspect it must more than likely be spherical that value contained within the US (Asus has not launched US pricing nonetheless).
The XG43VQ is taken into account thought-about one amongst three 43-inch reveals Asus planning to launch. It is a quick and dirty rundown of each:
- Asus ROG Strix XG438Q—3840×2160 (16:9), 120Hz, DisplayHDR 600, FreeSync 2, MSRP £1099 (~$,1350), releases late August or early September

- Asus ROG Strix XG43VG—3840×1200 (32:10), 120Hz, DisplayHDR 400, MSRP €899 (~$1,000), no launch date given
Excuse the absolutely utterly utterly completely different currencies—Asus has revealed particulars about these reveals at absolutely utterly utterly completely different events and apparently has not discovered pricing for each territory nonetheless.
