Abstract: The first monitor to ship with G-Sync is the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q - a fantastic 2560x1440 27-in monitor with a 144 Hz maximum refresh rate. I wrote a glowing review of the display here recently with the only real negative to it being a high price tag: $7...

I keep telling you that you need to see this thing in action for yourself—in order to appreciate G-Sync, in order to grasp how decent a "good TN" panel can be. Earlier, then, I pointedly directed you not to try out the PG278Q in person if you didn't want...

If you skipped right to the conclusion to gague our impression of the new ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q monitor with G-Sync, let me make it clear -- this monitor is awesome. It packs in virtually all of the features gamers crave, and it looks good while doing it...

From the tone of this review, you can probably tell we're excited about G-Sync. It's the first revolutionary display technology we've seen in a very long time. Advances in host and graphics processing performance are so frequent that they're practically p...

It's really easy to fall in love with the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q monitor when you start using it. The build quality of the display is top notch and, even though it has the TN moniker on it, the quality and viewing angles are better than you're going to exp...
Excellent gaming experience, GSync, Great image quality for a TN panel;
Limited viewing angles, Connectivity only via DisplayPort;
My first impressions of the ASUS RoG Swift PG278Q are very positive. The first Republic of Gamers monitor stands as a premium product, and one of the best RoG branded items on the market today.Mixing G-Sync, high refresh-rate and the 1440p resolution, and...
With all these features like G-Sync the monitor has huge potential for you guys, the gamers. My advice: you need to personally see it to believe it as no chart or recorded video can display the on-screen G-Sync experience you can only see in a real-world...

Reviewing monitors is, as we've said before, difficult. After all you're looking at this on whatever you currently own, so even if we had a perfect fidelity reproduction it will never look as it should because of the limitations in your display. The best...
Sturdy stand, 4K resolution, G-Sync compatible, Excellent post-calibration color accuracy
Very expensive, Mediocre out-of-box image quality, Limited monitor controls
Like the Asus PG279Q, the PG27AQ is a monitor that is difficult to compare with others because its feature set is so specific. Its only obvious, direct competitor is the Acer XB280HK, another 4K panel with G-Sync. The Acer holds up against the PG27AQ in most...
