ASUS made an even bigger curved monitor especially for gamers

It’s technically called the ROG Swift PG35VQ, though no one would blame you for not remembering that. As you’ve probably guessed by its resolution, this one’s runs at an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio. More importantly, this display now sits at the top of the ASUS heap — it just barely edges out the existing 34-inch Swift PG348Q, for those keeping track of sizes.

Throw in the obligatory support for NVIDIA’s G-Sync and you’ve got yourself one of the most tantalizing new display options out there, period. It’s also worth noting that if you’re not a gamer, you’d probably still enjoy the screen’s beautiful absurdity — the PG35VQ is utter overkill for Excel, for instance, but just think of how many rows and columns you could immerse yourself in at one. (Then again, the slightly garish etchings around back the lighting effects at the monitor’s three-pronged base aren’t for everyone.) Alas, we’re not yet sure how much this display will cost yet — we’ll report back as we learn more.

Once you do that, a 3D model of the Dunks will pop up and you’ll have the chance to buy a pair for yourself. There are also posters, like the one above, outside of Momofuku restaurants in NYC which can trigger the app’s AR feature — in case you’re looking for a more adventurous experience. This seems to be yet another effort by Nike to combat bots, a powerful tool for resellers that’s become a major problem in sneaker culture . Last month, the company introduce Stash, a way for people to unlock exclusive products in the SNRKS app based on their location. The SNKRS AR functionality only works for iOS users at the moment, though Nike says Android support is coming soon.
