After having been plagued for almost a year with early introductions at trade fairs and events, it is finally over: the new top gaming monitor of Asus is in our test lab. Today we report our findings of the Asus Republic of Gamers Swift PG27VQ, a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with a resolution of...

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.

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.

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is one of the first of a new breed of gaming monitors, combining the high refresh rates of Nvidia's G-Sync technology with 4K resolution and HDR (high dynamic range) support for exceptional image quality.

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

Likely to be very expensive; Needs a powerful PC

I looked at getting this screen for a long time but got put off by the price, it ticks all my boxes (1ms, 165hz, curved screen), I took the plunge shelled out my hard earned cash and I must admit it is everything I have ever wanted in a screen.

If there's one piece of equipment that's being discussed among gamers everywhere, it's the ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ Curved Gaming Monitor. Advertised as the "World's most Responsive Curved Gaming Monitor", this device is proving to live up to its expectations and is delivering in a really big way.

For the money I paid, I expected a lot more

The Asus PG27UQ surely has to be one of the most anticipated gaming products in recent history. First unveiled a year and a half ago, this is the first monitor to offer not just a 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, but true HDR with a full array local dimming backlight as well.

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

A detailed review of the new 27" 4K, 144Hz gaming screen from Asus. Featuring a 3840 x 2160 resolution, NVIDIA G-sync, a 384-zone FALD, top end HDR support and a massive range of extras and features to make this the ultimate gaming screen.

5/5 if I'm not being nitpicky. It's an amazing monitor, obviously. Maybe not the best value. But really the only thing with true HDR (because of it's peak brightness) and both 4k and 144hz. So when it works it's amazing. When Windows is being a pain...well... Windows is a pain.
