This outstanding twenty-seven inch display is from Asus' Republic of Gamers line of products. As such, it offers several exceptional features to place it among the best of the best.

It's SLEEK. It's FAST. And it is, in our opinion, the best gaming monitor money can buy right now. Head past the break to see why we're so impressed with this gaming monitor from ASUS called the RoG Swift PG278Q .
