Overall, though the ROG Swift PG278QR impressed, it is difficult to distinguish its performance from that of another G-Sync display, the ViewSonic XG2703-GS. Since they both have the same resolution and refresh rate, the biggest difference between the two...
Nvidia Gsync, High refresh rate, Great colour contrast.
Works with few GPUs, Expensive, Gsync is difficult to set up
If you have a giant budget for your gaming monitor needs, and don't want a 4K monitor for some reason, the Swift PG278Q will definitely be great. It has almost every feature a gamer could want in a monitor, including a couple of USB pass-through ports for...
Sturdy stand, 4K resolution, G-Sync compatible, Excellent post-calibration color accuracy
Very expensive, Mediocre out-of-box image quality, Limited monitor controls
Like the Asus PG279Q, the PG27AQ is a monitor that is difficult to compare with others because its feature set is so specific. Its only obvious, direct competitor is the Acer XB280HK, another 4K panel with G-Sync. The Acer holds up against the PG27AQ in most...

Excellent gaming experience, low response times and lag. Support for NVIDIA G-sync and new ULMB mode, Flicker-free backlight, Excellent default setup
Restrictive viewing angles of TN Film technology, Lack of preset modes and some bells and whistles, Limited connectivity with DisplayPort only
We know how excited people were to get a detailed review of this monitor as quickly as possible, so we decided to release this as a full review straight away without making it a paid preview first. If you appreciate the early access to the review and enjo...

You may have already gathered that I'm rather impressed with the Asus Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor , and I am, very impressed! Never have I seen such focus in a Gaming monitor, Asus no doubt had one goal in mind, when they designed this monitor and that w...

You have plenty of options to choose from if you're looking to purchase a gaming monitor. Without a doubt the best option of the 120/144 Hz Full HD models is the Eizo FG2421, which does not only convince in terms of image smoothness, but also in terms o...
Incredible responsiveness, Gameplay completely smooth thanks to GSYNC, A decent design for a gaming monitor, Finally a QHD TN panel
We'd have liked an HDMI port to connect a games console or TV box, even if it is without GSYNC, Pretty high price, No ULMB in 144 Hz mode
Asus has unleashed the first G-SYNC monitor, and it is a beauty. It's also the first QHD TN panel to hit the market, with an excellent refresh rate of 144 Hz. Although its connectivity options could be better, this screen is still perfectly suited to its ...

From the tone of this review, you can probably tell we're excited about G-Sync. It's the first revolutionary display technology we've seen in a very long time. Advances in host and graphics processing performance are so frequent that they're practically p...
Abstract: Gaming monitor technology took a significant step forward when Nvidia revealed G-Sync technology last year. Asus is the first monitor manufacturer to roll out G-Sync on a 27in, 2,560x1,440 resolution screen. Continuing the firsts, the Swift PG287Q is the ...
