Yes it is.
$2,000+ all said and done for a 13th gen x700 chip and an Arc GPU, jesus man.
I mean, I think you’re going to be blown away by the screen if you’re snubbing it off that much. OLED @ 1000nits HDR (much, much support for HDR today in games) and 90hz is beyond exceptional compared to the current screen. Trust me true HDR is a transformative experience.
No doubt there will be plugins available like Special K and the like to plug HDR into virtually every single game (barring those online games with aggressive anti-cheat), as well.
Anyway as someone who’s used first iteration HDR monitors years ago, this is very exciting to me. This will be the first time ever that an affordable option for high nits true HDR will be in people’s hands for an affordable price, appreciation and widespread use of HDR will skyrocket after this – I am very excited, and shocked no one is talking about the new deck from this perspective.
