Yea the warranty is worth it.
There is the Pixio PX277 Prime which is priced well and can be delivered quickly. The IPS one with 165hz, not sure why it shows a VA one with the same model number when you search.
My son loves his monitor. So going to keep the Asus.
Thanks for your help guys. The screen looks really good for a 1080p monitor

I was away good to know, If the Dell was a better monitor for games i would have bought one its as simple as that. Its image overall will always beat 165hz. And if the game has MSAA then theres not much to nitpick really.
That dell looks good tho.but the Asus is a nice monitor.
He has a old Samsung. I bought it used (can't remember the model, I'll have to check it out) but for a 4/5 year old monitor and 60hz it's excellent. Nearly as good as the Asus look wise.
Anyway. He's more than happy. He's pretty hardcore with gaming. I think all his other online mates have high refresh rate monitors so that's all he spoke about.
I told him you recommended it and to use the setting you mentioned. He was like wow that's dark. But now he loves it.
Maybe contrast 80 then and brightness 20? I really suspect 120cmd is right where i suggested though but it would differ in a daylight room. I simply think contrast 80 is too glaring and bright almost like bloom is overdone.
Did he check he has 280hz btw? I had to enable mine in the menu and in the display setting of windows i had to manually enable the 280hz tickbox. A good way to tell is to open the monitor osd and on the info tab it should state 1920x1080 280hz.
It is good he is pleased though, Thats what counts i think it will grow on him more and more and at 280hz he has a very sligbt advatage on his mates who are probably all 144hz or 240hz. Its nice to know when you are beaten it is you and not the equipment.
Ha yeah he had a bit of a blip (he's OCD) windows was saying 60hz and games didn't look right.
So dad stepped in, 2 seconds later, scrolled down a bit more on the Res setting in the Nvidia control thingy. It seems it has 2 sets or resolutions. It's set to 270 and he's happy.
I've told him to turn the brightest up a little. But because I told him you recommended the monitor and then showed him the setting you recommended, he's sticking to it even tho I told him to turn it up a little.
He has autism and once he has something in his head that's it. So, I'll leave him to it and it looks great too.
Any setting for my pg279q

Nah do not own one sorry
270hz works fine, I used 270hz and 280hz there is very little in it actually the most important part was making sure it was above 240hz, Using regular adaptive sync with elmb sync disabled and overdrive at no more than 60. He sounds like everythings sorted out though when i meant to check if it was at 270hz i meant right clicking in windows desktop and going to the display adapter properties tab. Thats where you can set the hertz from the dropdown menu. I check that and the Nvidia panel to be 100% sure.
Did you know to go into the Nvidia panel and there should be a gsync tab, The tickboxes should both ne ticked by the way it does not really matter if you select either fullscreen only (my choice) or full screen and windowed. Theres also a little trick that goes hand in hand with this that not many people know.
There is some weird fullscreen shenanigans going on and to truly make sure it is fullscreen you should track down the games exe so fortnite.exe and when you right click and go to the compatibility tab you should tick disable fullscreen optimizations. It should stop any weird scenarios where games are using windowed mode but they streatch it to look like fullscreen.
