Customer Ratings & Reviews

I Love this monitor it's awesome 1440p,144 Htz and great colors.no its not an IPS monitor but it does the job well. The only reason I gave it a 4star was because of the price and i would have like some decent speakers on it for those times that I do not want to use my headset while I'm watching a YouTube video.

1440p, 144hz refresh rate, G-sync technology equals all my games look stunning and tear free. I want to say my monitor is perfect which it almost is but I have one dead pixel in my top left corner. Its not a big deal while gaming so i'll live with it. For the price though I was expecting perfection but all the pros out weigh that one con. BB price matched and I received such a good deal I almost bought two.

I really wanted to like this monitor; I'd just built a new PC; the red ring matched my fans / LEDs; the physical designed, angles, and aesthetics matched my case exactly; I finally had a machine that could put out 144 fps at 1440P, and I wanted to see what it could do (as opposed to a presentation bottlenecked by the cable or monitor to 60 fps); I really wanted to like it. I did my research. The monitor had quality control issues, including backlight bleed. It uses a TN panel, but I was repeatedly assured that it still delivered great color. I purchased and returned this monitor twice, and here's why: Pros: Construction Quality -- the stand and design are excellent, well built, high quality materials, premium feel. Ergonomic -- the stand is extremely adjustable, it is easy to adjust it, and it holds the position you leave it in. High Refresh Rate -- as advertised. Screen Size -- 27 inches is great. Resolution -- 1440P is pretty much the sweet spot... it's sharp and looks great, and you can still obtain very high framerates with a single card. Cons: Color -- it's a good TN, but the colors still don't pop, and the blacks aren't great. I was not impressed by them. Quality Control -- both the panels I received had backlight bleed, the first was severe, the second was tolerable. But, this was all around, not just one corner. Panel Issues -- this appears to be an issue with the panel; it's not a defect, and it's not limited to certain models; it's just the way the Swift is, and this is the "screen door effect." In short, the panel produces a screen door like pattern on bright colors in motion. Once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it destroys the user experience. It's also obvious. All in all, it's a good monitor, but it's not worth $799.00. I probably wouldn't spend more than $400.00 on it. The poor colors and quality control issues alone would make me wary, and the screen door effect just ruins the experience altogether, by distorting images. What's the point of a high refresh rate if the panel is going to butcher the image? While I was originally impressed by the resolution and size, I quickly found myself upset with the backlight bleed. Even after i swapped it out for a model with less evident bleed, I was still unsatisfied with it. This is definitely a product built on specs and not the user experience. It's too bad. It had great potential. I'll wait for the new Acer Predator, or buy a non-G Sync Samsung or LG with better color, resolution, and quality control... as well as a panel that doesn't destroy my gaming experience by leaving barred lines on bright, fast moving objects. If there was competition in the market when this was released from a resolution / refresh rate / adaptive sync stand point, this monitor would have been a bust.

Amazing monitor! I read lots of horrible reviews on this product. And was quite hesitant to pull the trigger on this one. No dead pixels, No color bleed, and lastly they added a windows 10 support. Screen is HUGE and beautiful crisp clean colors. 144hz and loving it! Never drops below 100fps. Most stuff is in 120+

This monitor is by far the best I have ever used. The colors are excellent for a TN panel and the detail of 1440p is really a step up from 1080p. G-Sync is also really helpful for smoothing out frame rate fluctuation. The problem I have with this monitor is its quality control. I read reviews on multiple websites and all had reviews commenting on the poor quality control. The first monitor I received had a dead pixel. I exchanged it and now the second one I got has back light bleed on the bottom of the panel. I will be exchanging again and hopefully I get a good one the third time around. If you don't mind playing the panel lottery this really is a top of the line monitor when you get a flawless one.

This is an outstanding monitor, the color is good for a TN panel and the refresh rate is awesome. G-Sync is a cool technology. The monitor being height and orientation adjustable is a great feature as well. Only works via Displayport but it does come with a cord which is a huge bonus. If you want the best picture with a 970, 980 or 980ti this is a solid contender. I'm extremely happy with mine.

I was waiting for the new IPS panel with G-Sync, but was always out of stock or back ordered. Even today, I still do not see any availability for the newer PG279Q. I was keeping an eye on the PG278Q as a backup and decided to pull the trigger when it went on sale with a great deal for $550. A lot of reviews mentioned dead pixel and back light bleed problems, but my unit did not have either of these issues. I was really interested in the IPS panel for its color reproduction and better viewing angles. I am very happy with this purchase and have been using the monitor on my custom built gaming rig for about a month. Since I sit directly in front of the monitor for gaming, the viewing angle color shift has not been a problem for me. I love the size and turbo on the fly feature of this monitor. My only issue (and it really is a minor nitpick) is the color ring on the base stays lit when the monitor is in standby mode when I turn off the PC.

The ASUS PG278Q, otherwise known as the ROG Swift, is advertised as a high quality gaming monitor, and it really is just that. G-Sync works perfectly with my GTX 980, and the screen is surprisingly colorful for a TN display. The base is of a very high quality and the design and LED ring are a nice touch. My one complaint is the slight glare I get on the screen, likely due to its matte coating.

this monitor came out perfect in every way. G-SYNC is amazing. big improvement from my old monitor. all my games got a boost in FPS and it looks clear in 2K.

Great looking ID to this panel and a true 8 bit TN, but not without its issues. This is my second one had to exchange it for blurry text and a green line on top right of Panel. When it works its a fantastic GAMING experience for those with Nvidia graphic card for Gsync stutter free gaming. But there are plenty of buyers like me who have had to exchange or return theres because of quality control issues. Buyer beware.

I was waiting for something like this for a long time. if you have the GPU horsepower you need one now! no problems after 2-3 months. the viewing angles for a TN panel are great. 144 HZ is hard to beat and there is no lag whatsoever.

If you are willing to spend the money, this thing is epic! I've never dropped below 100fps this thing is truly amazing. I read reviews about dead pixels or color bleed and even no windows 10 driver support. No issues what so ever, awesome, awesome awesome!

144 ghz gsync and 27 inch full HD perfect for what I was looking for. Asus is a trusted name and this monitor won't disappoint!

this monitor has been running great. so far so good with no issues and dead spots.

Running this thing with a 1080gtx i was lucky enough to get one of these cards and i am very happy with my purchase . I didn't adjust a single thing on this monitor there is not one bit of bleeding on top or bottom or even the sides . Its perfect for a old gamer like me . Now the 1080 GTX is very powerful and the Gsync is a very nice feature to have . Only a few games i had to adjust the eye candy down a bit to get a super high frame rate. Witcher 3 and for some reason Titanfall .Witcher makes sense its a very demanding game but with a couple of tweaks i got an average frame rate of 70-82 FPS Ultra settings. Now for Titanfall it could be that the game isn't optimized for my 1080 Gtx and i might have to wait for a driver update or something but it really doesn't matter since Titanfall 2 is coming out this year . The Division,Doom 2016 release, 98 percent of my games run over 100 FPS . Id say if you have anything less than a 980ti don't get this monitor get something in 1080p that will suit your needs better.

If you are use to IPS pic quality then going to TN panel can be a little off. However, the g-synch tech plus 144Hz is pretty good if you can stand the TN panel

IT IS NICE IN SIZE .GRATE GAMING TOO. SEEING IS BELIVING

Fully satisfied with this monitor. Amazed at how fast it turns on, by the time you let go of the power button it's fully on and displaying the input. Looks beautiful, gsync works great. No complaints except maybe it's too big.

Out the box, worked great! But after 3 days it stopped turning on. I shut down, removed power from the monitor, then walked away for about 30 minutes or so. Came back and it still would not power on. Next day I plugged it in, and it started working.... Then promptly stopped. Figured it was too much money to not have a perfectly working item so took it back. Lots of reviews of this product failing and I hoped it would work. Glad it only took 3 days however.

The ASUS ROG Swift is considered to be one of the best monitors on the market right now for gaming (perhaps even the best). Personally for me, 1440p is much more realistic for gaming than 4K at this point in time. Even the GTX980 which just released cannot get close to 60FPS @4K, but will get you 60FPS @ 1440p with high/ultra settings. In addition, the monitor also has G-SYNC, which is an amazing piece of technology. Gaming from 45-70 becomes much more smooth versus a regular monitor, allowing you to increase settings and not having to worry about maintaining a 60+ FPS minimum. It also eliminates screen tearing and input lag from v-sync. (It is worth noting that frame drops below 45-ish were immediately noticeable by me). G-Sync may also let you stick with 1 high-end GPU instead of 2, due to increased flexibility you can have with frames. Lastly, the monitor itself has great construction. The base is quite large and it includes an external power supply, but that tradeoff is due to the incredible slim bezel of the monitor (smallest I've ever seen). Also, the on/off switch is instant, which is also a neat addition. Essentially, this is the best monitor for gaming on the market if you have the computer rig to utilize it, and don't mind the steep price. I personally don't mind the $750, as current 1440p 60fps monitors still average $450-500, and this monitor gives you 144 FPS and G-Sync for only a couple hundred more dollars. This is a TN monitor though, but for me the color and viewing angles were good enough as my main monitor.
