ASUS Republic of Gamers Launches Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor, a 27-inch WQHD display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time to cater to the graphical requirements of today's fast paced games. It boasts gamer-centric features for a better gameplay experience, NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology for smooth, fluid visuals, as well as exquisite and ergonomic design touches.
The world's first and only WQHD G-SYNC fast gaming monitor
Designed especially for gamers, the ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor features a 27-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440 panel with a pixel density of 109 pixels per inch (PPI). The use of a WQHD panel gives it four times (4X) the resolution of 720p for sharper images, and provides 77% more screen workspace than similarly-sized 1080p displays.
The PG278Q is ideal for today's fast-paced games and delivers fluid visuals thanks to a 144 Hz refresh rate and rapid 1 ms response time. Users have the option of selecting their preferred refresh rates, with the exclusive Turbo key for one-click switching between 60 Hz, 120 Hz or 144 Hz display modes.
The PG278Q has built-in NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to deliver the smoothest, fastest and most breathtaking gaming visuals imaginable. G-SYNC synchronizes the display's refresh rate to the GPU in a NVIDIA GeForce GTX-powered PC, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input lag.
ASUS-exclusive gameplay features and advanced connectivity
The ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor features the ASUS-exclusive GamePlus hotkey with crosshair overlay and timer functions. The former gives gamers a choice of four different crosshairs to suit their gaming environment, while the latter provides an on-screen timer to help keep track of spawn and build times. An intuitive 5-way navigation joystick provides quick and easy access to OSD settings, allowing users to switch display parameters with a flick of a finger. The PG278Q is designed for marathon gaming sessions, with a smart air vent design that aids in dissipating heat to keep things cool, even after hours of use.
The ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor includes DisplayPort 1.2 for native WQHD output and two USB 3.0 ports for convenient pass-through connectivity.
ROG-inspired, ergonomic design
Aesthetically, the ROG Swift PG278Q uses bold, precise lines to give it an air of durability and reliability. It features a base adorned with an intricate and enigmatic design that is fully-illuminated with a special LED Light-in-Motion feature.
The PG278Q features a slim profile and a super-narrow 6 mm bezel that make it ideal for almost-seamless multi-display setups. An ergonomically-designed stand with tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment gives users a comfortable and ideal viewing position for long marathon gaming sessions. A cable-management design feature found on the back of the monitor lets users keep their gaming rigs tidy and free from tangled wires.
AVAILABILITY & PRICING
ROG Swift PG278Q Ultimate Gaming Monitor is now available in Taiwan, as well as the Asia Pacific and European markets. It will be available in China in mid-August and North America by end of August, 2014. Prices start from US$799 and will vary by region.

But then you can also get Acers 4K G-Sync monitor for £499 Inc VAT, certanly not a price premium over other 4K non G-Sync monitors everyone expected.
The aesthetics are nice.Haha, and that's just this forum.
They also haven't mention if they ever got G-Sync to work in surround.
I'm fine with 60hz at 1440p. I can't imagine the headaches and frustration of trying to chase the illustrious 120 frame mark on every game at 2560 res. It's hard enough getting 60 frames sometimes.
If i remember it was not to long ago that VESA some thing like it and will become default.

Interesting attitude, G-Sync currently requires an Nvidia Kepler card, that will stop that shit becoming mainstream too.
Like no need for G-Sync with VESA Adaptive-Sync coming.
Same arguments your try'n to make work against you.
Well done.
So if DX12 comes tomorrow it's still pointless until company's start using it same goes with mantle too how ever with mantle it don't require me before or now to get a new TV\LCD.
You can buy a G-SYNC ready monitor right now. So you either want to use the technology now in which case you buy a supported monitor or you don't care so you just wait it out until hopefully a-sync monitors come to market. I'm not going to wait for a barely announced technology that doesn't exist in any monitors and hasn't been compared side-by-side.
Better of waiting if you know, well unless you have money to burn i guess as i am sure many do.
Argue, wow way out of context there bubba.. I don't do it got enough with RL never mind any thing else. I thought it was just a discussion we were having but shit it's a forum peop0le get bent over some fiunny shit these days.
