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

[BRIGGBOY81]

So effectively you'd be paying £50-60 just to get it from Ocuk. No offense but there is zero appeal to that IMO.


+1000

If I had the money, which I don't, I think I would be going for the Acer 4K with g-sync, kinda makes the Asus look very overpriced.

Arghh - Do I or Don't I can't decide. I have a Dell 27" ultra sharp 1440p but I want the faster response time and refresh. going to sleep on it and decide in the morning

How much uk?? and when is it released? need new monitor and i am patiently waiting out for 27" 144hz 1440p

Thanks

Was hoping this would be no more than £600 really. I'm in no mega rush anyway, I really love my AG278HE, it's a cracking monitor. I can easily wait until the end of the year and see what happens

I remember on ROG forums being told one of delays was decision to go Matt or Gloss, what did it end up?

Asus sure knows how to milk people, the Acer 4k monitor with g sync is only £600. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-065-AC

Haven't had an Acer product for a while but back in the day they were the joke of the tech world, extremely low quality products.

I been waiting for this monitor for months to be released.

But I am running two msi gtx 670 pe 2gb in sli will these two cards be ok to game at 1440p with good fps or will I have to upgrade to say 2 msi 780 in sli ect 3gb or even the new 6gb versions?

Will 2gb vram be a problem at 1440p?

There are multiple issues here really, whilst the 2GB of RAM will be enough in some games, the 256bit memory bus will be causing issues which might get in the way of FPS. The GPUs themselves are plenty fast enough, but they've been gimped with 2GB of RAM AND thw 256bit memory bus.

So the games you're playing will determine the performance you get.

I'm going to take the launch price as a sign that me and this monitor just weren't meant to be together for the time being anyway

BUT OCUK CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS IT'S ALREADY PRE-DISCOUNTED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE!

I presume there's an embargo on reviews at the moment, kind of wanting to see one before I decide whether to take the plunge or not

They wouldn't send them out for reviews to reviewers. Who's betting it was to do with the fact that they knew it'd get slated for its price and performance?

 

[BattFink]

Shame.. always suspicious when a company holds back product reviews etc...

Will wait for them to be launched first and get some end user reviews

 

[pmc25]

Massively cheaper to import it from the US, even with shipping and duties paid.

Absolute rip off.

OCUK price gouging is also pretty epic on this.

I don't think there's actually any samples available yet. I'm working to get one asap

I derped there, I thought this was the Titan Z thread, fortunately it is a little bit relevant to this thread as the price to performance ratio of this monitor is pretty poor

 

[llamadal]

Terrible pricing lol.

 

[Baddass]

ok guys, lets stop all the price moaning now and talking about competitor pricing or whether you can or cannot buy it cheaper anywhere else. Let's stick to the forum rules to avoid this thread having to go please
