I agree... by the time this actually launches we may have others to choose from. If not, Asus won't be sold out I'm sure.
Why would I expect it to look bloody awful? 60hz vsync'd looks fine to me and 48fps vsync is only 20% lower... 30fps vsync looks "bloody awful" yes but 48hz is closer to 60 than 30 and 48fps is not that jerky looking, where 30fps is very obviously jerky. I wont be buying AMD for at least another year so is it worth getting a 144hz screen if am not using VRR? eg. vsync at 48 / 72 vs 60 /30 and 144hz with no vsync in games like cs:go. Does seem a bit pointless buying a 144hz monitor that will be at 48fpshalf of the time.. But this monitor is not much more than a 60hz screen.

Has there ever been a thread in the monitor section of a forum so long and no one has ever even used the monitor?
Least Asus might be breaking some type of record with this

The Swift was even longer ... and it had and still has a laundry list of defects and issues.
Looks like he's been demoted to Jim99, so maybe left the company? Not a bad time to do so considering how this saga is playing out
That's correct, I no longer work for ASUS. Nothing to do with the monitor or anything like that, I was simply offered a job with another company that I decided to take. I should probably have put something more formal up on the boards, but a) I didn't have much time and b) it seemed a bit narcissistic to start a brand new thread all about my departure.
FWIW, I'm confident this will be a good monitor when it's out. I'm sure one will be out to TFTCentral when they're good and ready and we'll all get a much stronger idea of whether we're interested in purchasing. I'm running NVIDIA graphics right now, so Swift is more appropriate but I'm still a bit on the fence awaiting the next GPU release.
If you mean you've been PM'ing me, then sorry - I hadn't updated my email so I guess any Trust messages would have gone to a now-deactivated email address. I assure you I wouldn't have intentionally ignored any messages.
If you want to send Trust messages now then you're welcome to, but obviously I can only offer opinions etc.

+1 for taking the time to come back and clear that up 
My role has been advertised, but as far as I know not yet filled. Part of the role was representing ASUS on forums such as OcUK, so I would expect my replacement to also register on here and continue in the same capacity.
For what it's worth, I do think it's important that we're here and ASUS globally are keen for that to happen so I'd hope it continued.
Nice of you to inform us dude
Where you gone to then, any where interesting/well known ?
Sorry, been noisy
Non-tech related as it happens, going back to a different industry that I've worked in before, so probably very low on the cool-ometer unfortunately

Apologys if asked before but, I'm assuming that if you have a Nvidia gpu this screen will still be a full normal 120-144hz monitor?, you can just disable the free-sync. Thanks in advance.
In theory

Bah!, guess it isn't known for sure then?. Hope it is the case, still be a very interesting option.
