When it comes to buying a screen with HDMI 2.1 support, you’re usually stuck between two options: a massive TV or a smaller monitor, both of which have their place but there’s no real middle ground.

Asus responded to this with the 43-inch XG438Q, which gives you that gorgeous big-screen experience you want for your shiny new console or RTX 30-series laptop. Expect 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 ports, HDR, adaptive sync and even a remote control to give you more of a full TV experience.

But don’t forget, it’s a monitor; not a TV. There’s a tonne of productivity features in here, including ultra-low blue light integration and flicker-free technology, an anti-glare screen coating and a comprehensive software suite to tweak your display, which includes picture-by-picture technology to stream from all four ports at the same time!

This makes it the perfect expression of work by day, play by night — an essential addition to any hard-working gamer who wants it all in one panel.
