Why oh why would you expect a courier to pick up a £600 screen unboxed?

My Asus 4K was collected unboxed - as instructed

The courier brought their own box

Just stay away from this monitor

Nothing wrong with them as a general rule - majority are decent. :confused:

Really tempted to buy a Asus ROG SWIFT and a Titan X, apart from the cost any reason not to press the "buy" button

None what so ever

How does ASUS Warranty work? Is it with the original buyer?

Serial number was all I was asked for when I RMA'd my 4K

All display port cables do 4k or 144Hz dude even the cheap £2 ones

No they don't, also shorter the better.

I'll try to dig up the thread I read it in.

Mines been flawless since day one.

Seems a shame to sell it now I've gone to 4K.

Curious how you found the move from this @ 144Hz to a 4K monitor. Was the change worth it? Did you go for a larger screen or one of the smaller ones with G Sync?

Loving the 4K (Philips 40")

Prefer the better colours and image on the VA panel.

The only game that I can really spot the diff going from 120/144 to 60hz is BF4, notice a little bit of lag. Didn't use Gsync a lot as I preferred ULMB.

Still playing with the settings at the mo, but no regrets about the switch.

Hope this helps

Harry - nothing wrong with your set up -- I made a booboo and sent you the wrong cable.

Check your email

I had mine from day 1 and was faultless till I sold it.

I don't think I'd risk another one

I've noticed my ROG Swift has started turning on by itself! I turn it off and when I come back home it's gone to standby. Anyone else come across this issue?

Requested a replacement via the Rainforest shop, but the annoying thing is the panel itself is great. I suspect this is just a power supply issue? I don't think I'll have any luck trying to get a new psu sent out from Asus.

I'm sure I've read that you can request a replacement thru Asus without having to return the panel

If Asus want to swap my PG278Q for it then yes otherwise I'd rather extract my liver with a rusty spoon.

So that's a no then

whyscotty · 20 Oct 2015 at 23:50

So how is the new one?

whyscotty · 23 Oct 2015 at 12:20

I have to say the colours on the IPS version are a hell of a lot better IMHO.

whyscotty · 23 Oct 2015 at 12:32

You love it Rob

whyscotty · 23 Oct 2015 at 12:56

As you enjoy BF4 as much as me :eek:

Try that first - Using that monitor it almost made me look as if I could play the game (which we know I can't)

whyscotty · 31 Oct 2015 at 20:47

Long shot Rob - have u tried resetting the monitor?

whyscotty · 1 Nov 2015 at 11:42

My 4K was stuck at 24hz - but can't for the life remember what I did to fix

Does it only give 24hz via windows?

Re-install windows?

whyscotty · 1 Nov 2015 at 12:12

Suck eggs time

Latest Nvidia driver?

DP input selected
DP 1.2 selected on the monitor?

DP works on your other monitor

So this is all you get in windows?
