For those of you that own this monitor, would you say it was £750 good? I am so tempted by this but that is a hell of a lot of money and I am not a rich man! The money would come out my savings and be hard to replace.
Im not just a gamer by any means, I do a lot of digital art so I cannot do without an IPS screen. The thing is I love playing fast paced shooters and im prone to headaches with the constant turning around
I play BF4 every day and I love playing Call of Duty as well but that one really does give me a headache
For what it is worth, I bought the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q on release day and it appears I got fairly lucky. It has zero dead pixels, no dirt and excellent colour uniformity. It has a tiny bit of backlight bleed in the top right but acceptable by my standards.
The main issue everyone will have is the IPS glow in the bottom right corner.
I doubt there are any screens with these specs that have none at all so it depends how much this winds you up. It is definitely glow because if you move your head either side it exaggerates or disappears. The main problem is that if you sit centre screen, about 3 feet away... the glow in the bottom right is small, but noticeable in dark games. Twisting the screen can almost make this invisible but you are then viewing from an unusual angle and reflections/glare come in to it.
Everything else can be tweaked... FPS, refresh rate, G-sync, brightness, gamma, 6 user settings and as previously mentioned if you prefer your colours to 'pop' then tweak the vibrancy settings in nvidia control panel.
It's a lot of money for all of us seeking gaming heaven, but if its IPS, G-Sync, 144-165hz, 27", with a bit of glow thrown in for measure then ask yourself the questions....
a) "Can I put up with a slight glow?"
and...
b) "Do I feel lucky?"
So... do ya?
