No way I'll be buying it at £799. £599 is my max - I don't need it THAT much.
The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

He didn't say it was going to be £799, he said that Asus haven't set a final price for the UK, given they have already announced the retail price in USD at $799.99, I highly doubt it will be £799, if it was you'd be cheaper importing one.

I'm expecting £650 at launch, simply to get money out of people who can't wait. £599 I'll buy.
He said it "could be £799.99", that tells me it "could be" ? I understand they can't set the price at £599.99 for ASUS to change it for OCUK to make a loss but £800 is a lot for this ! Fingers crossed, guess we will have to wait until its been confirmed...
If it retails at $799 in the US, then above £550 in the UK is unacceptable. Prices have been moving together significantly on many products in the last 9 months or so, especially as the £ continues to appreciate against the dollar. At £600 I see it being a complete commercial failure in the UK, unless availibility is miniscule.
I'd take one at £499.99 immediately in April, if it reviews well ... even though better and cheaper competition with better connectivity will no doubt be released immediately after Computex in June. More than £500, I'll wait.

Is there any word on any other manufacturers with similar spec (144hz/1400p) monitors in the pipeline? If there's any chance of getting something within 6 months I'll probably wait as connectivity is definitely a big negative on this monitor.
No, but the chances of Asus' competitors not having an answer by Computex is practically zero.
That sentence makes my head hurt
Spin it positively... the chance of competitors having their own 1440/144Hz answers is very high

The way I said it suggests a higher probability than the way you said it.
I'm pretty sure BenQ have one in the pipe line, can't remember where I see the info ? I'll have a look round for source...
Edit - Here's one saying its a 27" but nothing saying its a 1440p & it looks like upgrade kit models of there current line ? :http://www.techpowerup.com/mobile/196646/benq-releases-g-sync-gaming-monitors.html
Edit 2 - looks like there will be more 1440p & 4k g-sync but nothing again saying about 120hz/144hz. http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/technology/g-sync/faq
Asus has us by the short & curlys ?

The XL2420G and XL2720G are models with 1920 x 1080 resolutions. There are also some upcoming 1080p models from Philips, ViewSonic and possibly AOC. The PG278Q is the only confirmed model with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. In the future I expect to see more monitors using this panel as well as other things like 4K G-SYNC models as Nvidia mentioned. As you say there is nothing confirming said models will be over 60Hz.
A Russian news site is reporting the price to be 30,000 rubles, which equates to £499
Yes if you converted your money and bought it from Russia but we always pay a premium on that though. Gonna be at the very least £599 I think.
ASUS are well known for adding costs onto UK products, their TITAN black edition is about £100 more than an EVGA one and they're identical.
