Like the title says, I guess I got one of the good ones. I read all of those bad reviews and still ended up purchasing this. I'm about 7 months in with absolutely no issues at all. Fingers crossed I don't run into problems.

-Great colors and viewing angles for a TN panel; -Anti-Glare is not noticeable once you get used to the monitor in my opinion; -Super easy to use menus; -Comes up from sleep extremely quickly; -Image looks amazingly sharp, as well as the design

-Some back light bleed when the screen is 100% black, but otherwise not noticeable; It's to be expected with a monitor of this size; Not quite worth putting as a con; I only saw it because I was looking for it

picture quality was okay if you're gonna spend this amount of money or finance it I think it's worth it, I hope Asus goes further with 240ghz at 1440p someday, at 1440p @165ghz My MSI 2080 Trio handles this goddess of a monitor with out even having breakfast yet, most my games run around 80 -130FPS...

I bought this display and finally hooked it up after my 30 day return period to find one bright pixel, could not return it and it doesn't meet ASUS return/warranty policy for bright pixels. The bright pixel is RED and 3/4" left of dead center, making it extremely visible while gaming. Super annoyed.

I use the product for gaming. Great because of the variable high refressh rate.

Today we review the highly anticipated Asus ROG Swift PG278Q. This 27 inch Nvidia G-SYNC monitor runs at WQHD 2560×1440 resolution, features a 144hz refresh rate and a 1ms (gtg) response time to cater to the most demanding gamer.

Super smooth motion at the highest settings; well thought out interface system – we love the nipple/joystick system; build quality; strongest; most versatile monitor stand system we have seen; very good ‘out of the box' setup

The cost will be too prohibitive for many; AMD users will need to buy Nvidia hardware to take advantage of G-SYNC; Be prepared to invest in expensive graphics hardware if you want consistent 100+ frame rates at 1440p in the latest DX11 games; Only $799 in America but £720 in UK ($1235)

Updated 13 March 2015)

Excellent gaming experience, low response times and lag; Support for NVIDIA G-sync and new ULMB mode, Flicker-free backlight, Excellent default setup

Restrictive viewing angles of TN Film technology; Lack of preset modes and some bells and whistles; Limited connectivity with DisplayPort only

ASUS aren't exactly new to the monitor world. In fact two of our favourite monitors of all time are ASUS models, including the very recently reviewed 4K screen that was extremely good value.

You may have already gathered that I'm rather impressed with the Asus Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor, and I am, very impressed! Never have I seen such focus in a Gaming monitor, Asus no doubt had one goal in mind, when they designed this monitor…

The blacks are washed out grey and the viewing angle is so low. guys my ￡100 benq has a better picture than this thing. avoid. all dark games just look muddy and poor quality. ￡550 is a joke of a price. I will try the ips version next and if no good i will refund and avoid Asus monitors.

asus pg278qr monitor styling, screen colour, 144hz all great but within 2 days mine started getting stuck pixels i tried asus first for a advice or replacement after reading very's return policy thinking they wouldn't accept it back.
