ASUS announced a new 4K montior last month called the PQ321. The montior will be available July 16th, and is currently up for pre-order at various online retailers. In a bit of good news, it seems that ASUS has managed to cut the MSRP by $300 to $3,499.99 since the original announcement. As a result, it is still fairly pricey, but this monitor and 4K in general is getting cheaper, and that's a good thing!

As a refresher, the ASUS PQ321 is a 31.5" monitor with a tilt, swivel, and height-adjustable stand. The 4K monitor features an LED-backlit IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) panel with a resolution of 3,840 x 2160. The screen has 10-bit RGB color, 176-degree viewing angles, 350 cd/m^2 brightness, and 8ms gray to gray (GTG) response times. ASUS has included 2W stereo speakers as well. The monitor is 35mm thick and weighs 13kg (just under 29 pounds). A 3.5mm audio jack, single DisplayPort input, and two HDMI inputs round out the connectivity options.

Using DisplayPort and its multi stream technology, users can get 60Hz at the panel's native resolution. This requires a dedicated card from AMD or NVIDIA or Intel integrated processor graphics from its 4th Generation Core "Haswell" generation or newer.

The ASUS PQ321 will be available on July 16th for $3,499.99.
