Price And Where to Buy
Like I mentioned earlier, the Asus PQ321Q has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $3, 499 and is now available for order. The monitor will start shipping by July 16. It also comes with a 30 day Zero Bright Dot warranty and Asus Rapid Replacement that covers 2-way free shipping for US and Canada regions only.
If you think $3, 499 is too much and your not ready for 4K display resolution yet. You can also try the Dell UltraSharp U3011 30-inch monitor or the HP ZR30w 30-inch S-IPS LCD monitor. Both monitors offer superb display quality with 2560×1600 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. And they are also cheaper too (compared to the Asus PQ321Q), around $1, 200.
