Asus rog PG279Q or PG348Q - Which one?

[Greenfeuer]

Hello there awesome folks of overclockers UK!

I am planning on getting myself a new screen soon, probably at a month or two.

So faar the competition is between Asus rog PG279Q or PG348Q. - I prefer if we stick to these two in the topic, other Asus screen who would dwarf them both, however would be welcome


My current screen is a Alienware Optx AW2310 23" Wide TFT 120Hz Black.

So faar I can't really decied since I am usually the one to go for the 120Hz + gaming experience. But after a few reviews and a friend buying the screen, I am getting more and more sold on the PG348Q experience.

I plan on gaming Witcher 3 - Fallout 4 - Skyrim - Warhammer Total War - Battlefield 1 - All those Arkham Batman games - And many other demanding games.

In general the big RPG action titles.

I like to play FPS a lot too "But I am not a counter-strike player, more a Battlefield or such kind of guy", or co-op games and MMORPGS. - But WoW doesn't really require that much.


I am not really sure which of those two monitors would provide me the best gaming experience. I heard rumors the PG279Q had a lot of faults, which saddenst me since I was going with that at first, but now I am second guessing. - I found the PG348Q at a pretty nice price too, so money isn't an objection here, and also haven't heard any bad stories/reviews about it.

With that said! Hope you guys can help me out here in a pinch! - Here is som links below to provide som infomation about the two monitors.

There is some new stuff coming out too - http://rog.asus.com/articles/events/ces-2017-rog-introduces-latest-gaming-monitors/ - But I think I need a upgrade for that.

I still got a month or so to decied, but so faar I am betting on the PG348Q, even thought the PG279Q is really nice too.

If people like to show off the screen, or other experience som more it would be most welcomed!

I think I am betting my money on the PG348Q, simply due to the pro's and the experience I heard from people seemse to be really running its in favor.

The PG279Q do have many appeals with its 165HZ and all that, but it also seemse to lack quaility control? - And a few other minor downsides.


I think I am sticking with PG348Q So faar atleast. - But there is still a month or so maybe less, until I buy. So people will be welcome to post pictures, write their own experience and aswell review of the two monitors.

Thanks for the comments and infomation given so faar, it has been a very fruitful experience!
