It's been weeks that I have been researching for a curved monitor 1440p 144Hz ( OC to 165 Hz ), Nvidia G-sync technology, 27 inch and a fast response time. I decided, after a very long time reading reviews, to buy the Asus Rog Swift PG27VQ curved monitor. It did arrive today.

For the money I paid, I expected a lot more

There's no doubt, the ROG Swift PG27UQ is a very impressive piece of hardware, with excellent performance in both HDR and SDR modes. It's great to see Asus providing factory calibration for the monitor, which you'd pretty much expect at this price point, but it's the HDR support and specifically...

Outstanding performance from all angles; including excellent HDR capabilities; great factory SDR calibration; decent response times; and a high refresh rate at a very high resolution

Very expensive; Early adopter issues like active fan, chunky design, and chroma subsampling

As always, we'll be the first to admit that our monitor reviews are more subjective rather than objective. I mean it's great to get all the data from the colorimeter hardware including precise brightness levels and color gamuts, in the end though, often once you've calibrated a monitor, you'll still...

***Update***

Looks cool; metal base stand

The one I got wouldn't go above 60hz, tried on two different systems with two different GTX1080's; If you select any other frequency like 144hz, 165hz it will switch then just blink off then on; If you set the monitor as you default and reboot it'll never turn on.

For many buyers, price isn't going to be the only issue – after all, size matters. A 4K resolution simply can't make up for the drop in desktop space compared to 32-inch or 34-inch ultrawide displays that cost half as much.

Stunning image quality; Excellent gaming performance; Superb colour reproduction

Incredibly expensive; Limited connectivity; Garish lights and design

Outrageously expensive, but the combination of a 144Hz IPS panel and FALD backlighting provide the best HDR gaming experience yet

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is one of the best gaming monitors because it's heralding a new age of panels. It combines the high refresh rates of Nvidia's G-Sync tech with 4K resolution and HDR (high dynamic range) support for exceptional image quality.

G-Sync HDR technology; Great image quality; Low response time; Wide color gamut; Nice design

Very expensive; Needs a powerful PC

The ROG PG27UQ is Asus' new flagship gaming monitor that boasts a mind-boggling set of features and a price to match. This 27-inch IPS LCD panel has a 4K resolution and can refresh at up to 144Hz – something no monitor has been able to do before – and it boasts true HDR capability thanks to...

Fantastic image quality; Superb gaming performance; Stunning HDR; Incredible 4K detail

Mind-bogglingly expensive; Still only a 27-inch display; 4K resolution too demanding

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is undoubtedly the single finest 27-inch gaming monitor you can buy right now (upcoming direct competitors such as the Acer X27 notwithstanding). Whether you're after gaming performance, top image quality for desktop work, the utmost in 4K detail or the dazzling display of...

Stunning image quality; Great gaming performance; 4K gaming at 144Hz is special; HDR looks fantastic; Fully adjustable stand

Very; very expensive; Windows resolution scaling can be iffy; Hugely powerful PC needed for 4K gaming; Not enough HDR content
