The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC
- Thread starter whyscotty
- Start date
Please do let us know how you get on with this, I have an older Asus 1080p 144Hz gaming monitor just before G-sync came outand the build quality and screen is very good I've never had a 1440p screen and playing GTA-V is really getting me more fired up for the 1440p screen now
I will, though I will have time to play with it on Friday afternoon.
I remember some say that it comes with not so great colors out of the box. Recommended settings were posted in this thread, but it is a very long one. Could someone point me and others adopters of this monitor in the right direction, please. Thank you in advance
.BTW, it would be great if OP could be updated with recommended setting and tips for the owners of Rog Swift.

On mine I'm using
Brightness: 25
Contrast: 50
Colour Mode: User
Red: 99
Green: 98
Blue: 99
And gamma 0.90 in the nvidia control panel under adjust desktop colour settings.
Keep overdrive on normal
Every panel varies so you are better of manually doing it yourself, these are quite good sites for gamma and contrast adjustments:

They bring the replacement in a box, Take the replacement out, Put your faulty one in and that's it
My 2nd RMA will be here next week probably, Fingers crossed this one doesn't have dead pixels, Flickering, Stuck pixels or is covered in dirt like this replacement is.

Read my reply 1 line above
Thanks. I must have been in the middle of writing when you posted, I'm in the middle of decorating.

Thank you. Hopefully it's first time lucky for me
TBH, forget the glennmessersmith site, the phototopics is much better and easier for adjusting the gamma imo.
And use this for the white saturation and black levels:

The white saturation test is the best for contrast adjustments.

For those calibrating - as mentioned before I found mine "settled" over the first week of use - out the box it was slightly reddish but settled to more balanced colours - so keep an eye for that - if I use my first day calibration settings now it goes slightly green :S
Just to clarify again, there are two different RMA processes, so what other people have experienced may not be what you need to do.
If the email is unclear please let me know, but it should specify whether you need to provide the panel only unboxed, or the whole thing in the original packaging.

In my email it says the following:
"
1. Provide the faulty product de-installed and unpacked to the courier.
2. Remove the base (if removable) of the faulty product.
3. Provide the base and back cable cover (if applicable) to the courier
together with the faulty product.
4. Do not provide ANY cables, AC adapters or other accessories to the courier."

Really tempted to buy a Asus ROG SWIFT and a Titan X, apart from the cost any reason not to press the "buy" button
Caporegime
Exactly what I'm using and couldn't be happier, my gaming experience is leaps and bounds ahead of the 295x2 I had and the 970 before that.
If AMD had crossfire freesync drivers ready I may never have switched though. Hopefully they don't have microstutter issues for CF like nVidia do for SLI with gsync.

None what so ever
Likewise very happy with my setup and a Titan X would go nicely with it - a firmware update with better gamma options/control on the panel and 1-2 other features wouldn't go amiss mind and aslong as Asus stay on top of the RMA side should issues arise I'd have no qualms recommending it.
