That is why I didn't pull the trigger yesterday for the ROG Swift. Just waiting for the Review now before deciding.

Badass, great review as always. Thanks for being so quick with the review. Look's like this is now the #1 gaming monitor.
no problem, i know how excited people (including me!) were to see how this monitor performed. hopefully no one will feel disappointed

Wow, that's some impressive credentials and review too. Nice.
Price and the G-Sync single input limitation are a big turn off though.
Everything else is might impressive mind!

Will wait for feedback on general quality issues before pulling the trigger, but this is firmly at the top of my list for a May/June monitor upgrade.
And thanks again Baddass!

Looking at this myself, if it is as good as I think it is I will buy it, they helped me choose my current monitor which I love. Not sure if I am willing to put in the full asking price though :/
Would be nice if they offered it without G-Sync, hopefully this will pave the way for more 144hz 1440p monitors.

just put one in my basket and comes to £700 - I just can't come to terms with that just yet - may play the waiting game and see if we get any better deals

Oh Badass I wanted to ask, did you see any blue-light filter options on this bad boy?
It is far to much for a monitor imo, I think it is worth £450-£500 max, hopefully the swift might drop which could push this price down?
No there aren't any on this model. I know Acer are investing in that tech on other new screens in their range but it's not on this model. Could always adjust rgb to give a nice warm setting and reduce blue spectral output that way

Thanks. I just got a ViewSonic VA here using it as a web browsing display and I really like the blue-light filter option it has. Helps keep the stress off the old MARK I Eyeball.

Thanks for the review badass. So it looks like ips 144hz is a very viable reality. As a swift owner I'm going to wait for the 34 inch super wides, possibly curved before I consider upgrading.
Question though - what's the chances of a 144hz VA rather than ips type gsync panel with a high contrast ratio and deep blacks coming out? Something like the latest samsung 34 inch curved superwide, but 144hz and gsync? Will VA introduce issues like input lag etc, more than ips?
