Although its two 4K displays drew the most attention at Computex this year, ASUS was very proud of its upcoming PA279Q display. The 27-inch IPS display features a 2560 x 1440 panel, but will ship fully calibrated from the factory. ASUS anticipates having a delta E less than 2 and 100% sRGB coverage out of box.
The price point will be higher than the influx of Korean 27-inch 2560 x 1440 panels, but ASUS hopes that the factory color calibration will help offset the premium. There's no word on final price or availability.

looks extremely ugly...Harby - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link
That's because of the hood which you can obviously remove. Anyway this is meant for color-critical works, not gaming. Professionals hardly care about the looks.LordOfTheBoired - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link
Ah, that's a hood. That makes more sense.The front-on view makes it look like it has a weird melted-plastic aesthetic in the bezel.

True, you can probably remove it, but why did they even put such a misunderstanding around it in the first place?Death666Angel - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link
You don't seem to spend much time with color calibrated monitors. Every Nec and Eizo I know that caters to professionals has that hood to stop light from flowing into the monitor and keep the colors accurate that way.Razorbak86 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - link
Too bad they didn't include some photos that clearly define the shroud. Oh wait!http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/2854#6
