The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

[Random Guy Esq.]

Guys, how tall are the min and max heights of the monitor? Tried looking on the Asus ROG website, but it's down at the moment.

Anyone?

Is the second batch likely to be very limited as well or can we expect more to go around this time?

Also for those that have them; how much back light bleed do you experience?

When I spoke to them today to change my order they said they were expecting 2 batches by the end of the month of 90 each and 96 had been ordered.

So 15th August is a pipe dream at this time?

Not at all, all I know from my discussion with them was that there are 2 batches due and the 2nd one was due on 25th. So the 1st may still be scheduled for 15th.

Many things can affect a delivery schedule, e.g. customs, weather, industrial action, llamas on the road, global apocalypse.

If I order now is there still a chance of getting on the 15th delivery?

Nope.

 

[bishi]

Nope.

Argh. Cancelled my original order because I didn't get it earlier and I couldn't do around the 15th... now I can and I can't order it for that date FML

Got mine setup last weekend and I have to say.. sweet jesus I love it. Coming from a 60hz IPS I had a big shock - and being someone who can't stand not having vsync on i'm amazed by gsync - it really delivers. I wasn't sure if the faster refresh/gsync would be noticeable but I am now One very happy owner. Good news too in that my GPUs (stock clocks) are handling things well enough - gsync fixes the rest. Reckon i can hang on for the 8xx series now

Thanks for that - goes pretty low, so reckon it will fit in nicely in the cubby/shelf thingy above my desk!

All the high refresh rate LCDs I have tried have been disappointing when it came down to image quality. I like my IPS panels however from what I have seen the swift looks really impressive. High res with a true 8bit colour depth sweetens the deal for me. Really looking forward to trying one.

Come on lads fill this thread with pics and videos

Videos and pics are not really going to give you much.

 

[Khazzer]

But they are pretty to look at while we are waiting for stock to come in

 

[Wilkeh]

There's a serious lack of photos in this thread of it all set up

Except something to look at while we wait

Here's another one of my setup:

 

[skuko]

how's the backlight bleed and uniformity? can you take a picture of black background in complete darkness?

 

[Khazzer]

That looks good, the light in the base really sets it off nicely, but is the light distracting when playing games?
