** ASUS ROG SWIFT G-SYNC 27" 144Hz GAMING MONITOR NOW IN STOCK!! **

And in a few months time Freesync will be here which can be used on AMD and Nvidia and people will be wondering "OMG I just paid £700 for a 1440P TN panel :( ".
This monitor is severely overpriced.

lol That's a OMG I'm so jealous comment if I've ever heard one mate :D


1440p and 144hz:eek: TN panel who cares mate. it looks beautiful and the TN panel handles everything just great.... Everyone wants one of these and you know it also. Screw 4k you have to have like 20 Titan for it to even have playable frames on 4k. hahaha

Why would I be jealous of a monitor :confused:

I did actually give it a thought and was very tempted to press the buy button but decided against it seeing as Freesync is literally on the horizon and your paying a HUGE premium because it's got the ROG branding on it.

Who cares about freesync. I don't see it anywhere. ROG beat them to the punch. Yea I might have paid a little extra for this monitor, but so what!! Everyone is overpaying when you buy anything....Everytime we buy a Nvidia card were overpaying so what cares mate. All I know is that I've wanted a 1440p monitor with 144hz like forever! Also a plus is it has G-Sync also. Now i'm getting one :D

ROG didn't beat Freesync, Freesync is just the open standard of G-Sync without being locked to 1 GPU vendor, that's like saying ROG beat HDMI, Makes no sense :p

G-sync has been out for some time and other monitors have it too including 1 from AOC with a 4K display and the modules for various other monitors.

True about the Nvidia part but just say you want to get an AMD card once the next series comes out because they are better *Has happened quite a few times before* then you are stuck with a monitor that has a dead feature i.e G-Sync you can't use where as Freesync can be used with AMD and Nvidia.

It's the main reason why I'm not getting this monitor as I'm not convinced that it will take off as a technology as it is locked down to 1 GPU vendor, G-Sync not the monitor I mean and that's one big part your paying the premium for.

Post some pics when you get the monitor though, Interested to see what it looks like outside the product page :)

I will mate, but I'm not going AMD any time soon.. Everytime I go amd I have issue's so I'll stick with Nvidia. I very much doubt g-sync will go anywhere. Even so I still have a 1440p monitor with 144hz . How many people can say they own one of those? Exactly :)
 
It's the first 1440p with 144htz = demands a premium.

First 1440p with G-Sync(?) = demands a premium.

Asus ROG branding = demands a premium.

Basically Asus (and OcUK) could charge what they wanted and this monitor would sell... It wouldn't even have to be the first 1440p, 144htz or G-Sync to sell well - the ROG branding will do that alone.

All in all you're buying a 90% next generation monitor and as with any early adoption there carries a certain amount of risk... It won't be long until there are 4K 144htz 1440p Freesync & G-Sync compatible monitors... But they're the generation after this!

I see this monitor as the premium high-end of TN gaming panels and quite rightly it carries the ROG branding (& price tag), just quite impressed Asus 'got there first' so quite rightly they should corner the market.

Agree.

There not one 4k monitor that will beat this one. 4k is still too new and sluggish when gaming.
 
Even if you do want this monitor as Gibbo said surely you would wait for the second shipment which could be literally 2 weeks later and see the price drop by £50

I seem to remember a very similar conversation about the 3D technologies...

Sure AMD did produce an open source alternative to Nvidia's 3D Vision but that didn't stop it becoming the forgotten stepchild that AMD basically gave up on.

From what I've heard I can't foresee Freesync coming along in a "few months", it's my understanding that Freesync will require whole new standards in cables and monitor design so it seems to be quite a lot further off than that.

G-Sync works, and this is coming from an AMD fan and converted pessimist, because the Nvidia GPU syncs with another piece of Nvidia hardware to drive the screen. Similar to 3D Vision in that sense.

Ahh what was that again HD3D, which there were like 12 displays that supported it? Most people are also forgetting that the ROG is 3D ready aswell added to the rest of the goodies.
Think its safe to say this is one of the most controversial monitors of all time.
Cant wait to get my hands on it :D

Probably because hardly anyone uses 3D in gaming anyway, hardly a booming technology is it.
Even a lot of TV manufacturers consider 3D a dieing tech.
