dp1.4 still, so 98Hz uhd HDR, 120Hz 8bit uhd(SDR) or marketed 144Hz 8bit with chroma subsampling...
But the most important question: Will it have active cooling? I would presume that size of monitor does have enough room for sufficient passive cooling.
Actually, if DP 1.4 can only deliver enough bandwidth to get to 98Hz with RGB/4:4:4 subsampling, then going down one level, to 4:2:2, can free up enough bandwidth to reach 144Hz.
It most probably is 8bit+FRC panel(is there even anything else from AUO's AMVA 65" panel line), thus enough for HDR. But yeah display port specification restricts 10bit colors to 98Hz max. So having it marketed as 144Hz monitor is moot.
Man, I really wish OLED tech was fool-proof for display tech. Having an OLED laptop and an OLED TV w/10k power on hours that has spent some time on news channels and as a monitor neither with any hint of burn in I am well aware I am more an exception than the rule in experience. FALD is ok but trying to watch something like Game of Thrones or other consistently dimly lit material... its just not good enough for me to be interested... An adaptive sync display of the Omen's size is applaudable if not too compromised to be of any purchasing interest here.
Including an Nvidia Shield and a sound bar to justify the cost. It seems that they can't produce enough of these displays. I hope to see 43-55" inches of this type in two or three years.
As always, they market not so great products to "gamers" and charge absurd ammounts of money. You have to be a sucker to buy this instead of, for instance, a 55" $1000 OLED TV with HDMI 2.1 and 4k@120hz

Smart guy. Always be wary when they add rather useless stuff to expensive things. It always means its extremely overpriced.boeush - Sunday, January 6, 2019 - link
"The OMEN X Emperium 65 has a DisplayPort 1.4 input and three HDMI 2.0b inputs that support HDMI ARC"The feature table says:
"3 × HDMI 2.0a"
So which is it, door 'a' or door 'b'?
