Take of the ROG branding and it'll be £120. Its cool but overpriced.

 

[QuietOne]

Oops, you lot can flame me. I've gone and ordered one.

 

[katiekitsune]

for that price, unless you are a professional gamer you would be better off buying a benq monitor or waiting for more g-sync/freesync monitors to come on the market.

i'd probably get one if it was 24"
27" is just too big imo

I have the PB278Q which I've had for nearly a year. I think it's a nice size and will probably look strange next to the PG278Q.

it wouldnt be 1440p then (27" 1440 being a pixel density sweet spot) they dont make 24" panels in 1440

I'd really like to know your opinions of the quality of the TN panel used in the monitor compared to the IPS PB278Q.

I imagine the fact it is TN will put people off. Though ASUS did say that it is dest described as a modified TN panel and has great colour reproduction, but I will wait for reviews before I believe them.

£669.92 for a TN panel.

ASUS emplyees must be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Permafrost]

at £700 for a TNT panel.......


they can keep it..

 

[Filby83]

How much are 4k monitors going be later this year ? And they want 600 Green queens stupid !

 

[looz]

Cheaper 4Ks already exist lol.

 

[katiekitsune]

and they are tn as well, and probably dont require as much graphics horsepower.

 

[Boonstick]

I was thinking about getting one of thses but it just seems a bit pricey for a 1440 monitor but maybe thats just me. It does look pretty cool tho.

I'm now thinking about getting on of the Acer 4K2K XB280HK 28". Ill wait till a few more reviewers get there hands on one but it seems pretty much the same as the ROG Swift but minus the 144mhz refresh and plus 4K and also cheaper!

Something must be wrong with it!

 

[Filby83]

its because they cornered the market here, better than 1080p with 144Hz without the 144hz its just a monitor and would have sold a grand total of "0" units with 144Hz people may buy it

 

[Dicehunter]

£719.99p at OCUK and still a TN panel ?

Yeah they can go suck a bag of dicks for that price.

i've had a PB278Q before and sold it because i just didn't like the 27"
i know there are no 1440p 24" panels but i wish there were

 

[carlosandr1]

I totally agree with you barnsley
