Monitors with resolutions higher than 4K certainly aren't anything new, but they've mostly been the preserve of the professional/creator market. So it's definitely newsworthy that Asus has just launched what appears to be its first-ever 5K gaming monitor. That's right, 77% more pixels for your GPU to cope with.
The display in question is the snappily-titled ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG, and as the name suggests, its key feature is the 5120 x 2880 IPS panel. Coming in at 27 inches in size, though, that's a lot of pixels being packed in there. Specifically, it's 218 pixels per inch, which is an absurdly high density.
