Asus ROG Strix XG438Q 43"
Normally we wouldn’t recommend this sort of monitor, but it’s also the only option for high refresh gaming at this size. Even though performance is only average, it’s going to be better than 4K 60Hz equivalents for gaming simply because it has a higher refresh rate, provided you can utilize it. If you don’t have a powerful enough GPU, or gaming isn’t a use case for you, go for a 43-inch 60Hz IPS monitor instead.

The Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ gaming monitor has big, bold colours, fantastic contrast and a big-screen experience alongside great speakers. But it’s blurry, expensive and won’t suit every situation.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG438Q is a larger-than-life gaming monitor that feels like it has dropped from Heaven. 43 inches of 4K glory at 120Hz - gaming has NEVER been better than this.

At $1,099.00, the Asus ROG Strix XG438Q will set you back more than a similar-sized TV would, but its also far less expensive than a BFGD. It also has the advantage of being a true gaming display with a fast refresh rate and FreeSync support, which makes it superior to TVs for gaming. I’d recommend it as a solid solution for gamers that want a large, if not truly oversized, gaming monitor.

Alors, que vaut cet écran à 1200€ ? C'est difficile à dire, car s'il était vendu pour les professionnels de l'image, nous dirions qu'il n'est pas à la hauteur. Le calibrage d'usine est trop imprécis pour être conseillé dans cette utilisation. Mais vu...
