I've been using many different monitors for my workstation and gaming use, with my Acer Predator X27 (4K 144Hz G-SYNC HDR) and other 34-inch 3440x1440 monitors but only up to 100Hz so far, with some monitors in the pipeline to review at 3440x1440 @ 144Hz...

That brings us to negative number 2. Slinging more than 8 million pixels around at up to 144 times a second. It's certainly no mean feat, but it can be done, for a price. Let's call it how it is though. If you are looking at the ROG Swift PG27U as anythin...
G-Sync HDR technology, Excellent color recreation, 144Hz refresh rate
Expensive, Need a powerful rig,
The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is expensive, even after two years of being on the market. However, the biggest difference now is modern, high-end computers are far more capable of taking advantage of its features, especially with NVIDIA's G-Sync technology and...

Stunning image, 144Hz in Ultra HD, Amazing SDR and HDR contrast: Over 90% DCI-P3 coverage: G-Sync, Build quality, styling,
Expensive
Aside from cost, the Asus ROG Swift PG27U has no flaws of consequence. It's extremely capable for gaming, video, color-critical work and general tasks. And once you've experienced games at Ultra HD resolution and 144Hz, it's hard to imagine playing any ot...

Unmistakably vibrant and varied colour output, strong colour consistency and an excellent sRGB emulation mode, Good static contrast with reduced ‘AHVA glow', a very welcome ‘Variable Backlight' feature and a very dynamic and engaging VESA DisplayHDR 1000

The ASUS PG27UQ is quite the showcase of monitor technology, being amongst the first to combine the ‘4K' UHD resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate. Whilst it's true that it only achieves this using chroma subsampling, we only found this to be problematic f...
