Given that most of the best gaming monitors peak at around 144Hz right now AUOs new display will be a serious step up in performance over most of whats on the market. The short press release doesnt give us many details of how it has achieved this feat, but well hopefully find out more soon.

We also dont know how much the screen will cost, but wed expect its price to land well over $1,000 thanks to its impressive specs and massive size. We'll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more. Analysis: is 85 inches too much screen?

For a desk monitor that will typically sit closer to you than a TV, 85-inches feels more than a little absurd. The monitor you use right now will most likely sit in the 15 to 34-inch range, which really puts the sizing
difference into perspective.

If your table doesnt collapse under the weight of this thing youll be faced with a display thats just over 7ft long from corner to corner so almost certainly taller than you. When youre sitting up close to it, youll probably struggle to look at the whole screen at once.

Rather than this sitting in your usual PC setup, then, it would most likely suit those who want a home cinema geared around gaming. The 240Hz refresh
rate will let you enjoy the max frame rate most conventional rigs can achieve and the massive size will let you sit back and relax on your sofa while you game; youll just have to put up with a controller or a wireless mouse and keyboard.
