ASUS VG278HE Monitor Packs 144 Hz Panel
ASUS announced its newest 27-inch 3D desktop monitor, the VG278HE, which packs an LED-backlit LCD panel capable of 144 Hz refresh rate, which adds 24 frames per second to 120 Hz display output, making 3D gaming look even more fluid. The VG278HE makes use of a TN-film panel, with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, and 2 ms (GTG) response time. It supports NVIDIA's 3D Vision 2 (kit to be purchased separately). Display inputs include dual-link DVI (dual-link needed for such high refresh-rate, even at 1080p resolution), D-Sub, and HDMI (lower refresh rates with single TMDS link). 6W stereo speakers make for the rest of it. ASUS did not announce pricing or availability.

impossible to set on the monitor and if you set on windows, in game the setting have no effect...
S27A950D give me the joy....
the fact that its 3D as well means the price is gunna be a killer.
this must be a budget model
We've had 120Hz TV's (and those are not freaking TN) for years. The tech is there, we just need at least one manufacturer to wake up and make 100-120Hz IPS computer screen with minimal or non-existing post processing and DisplayPort official. A 24" 1080 panel like that can easily sell for $300-400, a 27" 1440 will fit nicely in $600-700 and PC gamers will line up and buy them. Whoever starts making them will turn a hefty profit, as long as they cut down on wasteful features like "speakers", internal scaler, D-Sub and possibly even the freaking HDMI.
Who's up for starting a petition? :rockout:
Why do I feel like monitor manufacturers are stuck in 2005?
My point is that even if they wait two frames, interpolate one in between and then proceed to display frame 1 after however much processing delay, it's still a panel that pops up 120 frames per second. Hence, 120Hz non-TN computer screens are long, long overdue.

But I'm still waiting until a 27" 2560x1440/2560x1600 120 hz comes out. It would be very long I think. And when it comes out, 80%- 90% of us can't afford it anyway.
around here, thats too much to ask. you can get 120Hz, but its always TN and 3D (no one wants 3D damnit!)
so you really only get 30FPS per eye, and its craptastic.
true 120Hz monitors (of which some or many are 3D capable as well) actually allow you to set a 120Hz refresh rate in windows. HDTV's are the worst offenders for 60Hz inputs, while they advertise higher.
