ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q G-SYNC Gaming Monitor

I have a high end TN next to a PLS, I can definitely and readily tell the difference.

I am pretty sure PLS is one of the better variants of IPS, and you obviously put them side by side when comparing

The debate about TN vs IPS/PLS will go on for a good while but at the end of the day its all about personal preference. I currently use a Dell U2713HM but will get the PG278Q because its everything i have been wanting in a monitor especially since i play alot of FPSs and want that smooth 120hz gameplay at 1440p. I don't wanna deal with overclocking korean panels as well. That's just my preference.

Just want to say there isn't much to "deal with" when overclocking a Korean panel. Set a refresh rate in a custom resolution, and see if it works. I was able to do 120Hz for a week on my PLS, but had to pop it down to 96Hz because the monitor was producing artifacts at 120Hz.

What i meant in "Deal with" was not only the actual overclocking itself but I'd rather deal with color shift than possible severe backlight bleed, dead pixels and questionable build quality with a korean panel. I would rather have a guaranteed 120hz+ without any loss of visual quality or artifacting usually entailed with ocing these korean panels.

I will probably buy this monitor but I will curse it being TN too.

I have 3x ~120Hz Korean 2560x1440 IPS monitors now but they do have their own issues.

i have the asus vg278h (the previous 27" 120hz gaming monitor 1080p) the panel is TN, but it is high quality...
i don't notice disadvantages of the TN panel on the 278h... (meaning i don't notice the brightness changing with a minor change in head position, that cheap/standard TN panels have)
maybe it is because the panel is 27" and the resolution is 1080p so that the pixel are big, thus the brightness does not change as much...
