The pricing of the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q and relates siblings have been shared online. That and alonside of it all the specifications.



These are pre-order pricing and estimated availability on 3 new Asus ROG monitors that will be released hopefully before the end of 2015. They have also provided some further information about the new screens which is of interest. As TFT Central reports:

The Asus ROG Swift PG279Q is the new version of the very popular ROG Swift PG278Q, this time featuring a 27" 2560 x 1440 resolution IPS-type panel instead of TN Film. Further information in our previous news piece here. As we reported before, the screen will support refresh rates up to 165Hz. OcUK have confirmed that 165Hz is only supported when using G-sync and from GTX 960 and higher cards only. GTX 700 series only support up to 120Hz apparently. We believe AMD cards will support the native 144Hz maximum of the panel used, although obviously G-sync will not be supported.

3x NVIDIA GeForce GTX660Ti BOOST GPU or higher in 3-way SLI configuration are needed, or GPU with 3x DP connectors for surround mode. Driver version 355.60 is already released for all G-SYNC-supported graphics cards. If you are using GTX 9 series graphics cards, you can download 355.60 or latest version from the NVIDIA website. The ROG SWIFT PG279Q can support G-SYNC Surround (3x SWIFT PG279Q) up to 7680 x 1440.

The presence of an HDMI port is now confirmed and OcUK say that the DisplayPort supports 2560 x 1440 up to 165Hz. The HDMI only supports 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz. 3D Vision is NOT supported, but ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) IS supported at 85, 100 and 120Hz (not when using G-sync).

The PG279Q has a current retail ETA of 13 Nov 2015 at the moment and a pre-order retail price of £749.99. We expect/hope to have a review sample before that, hopefully in October if all goes well.

Asus ROG Swift PG27AQ - this is the new 27" IPS-type panel withy Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 resolution, and 60Hz maximum refresh rate. More information from our news piece back in January. The OcUK spec confirms that the DisplayPort supports 3840 x 2160 up to 60Hz. The HDMI connection supports 3840 x 2160 @ 24Hz. The PG27AQ can support G-SYNC Surround (3x SWIFT PG27AQ) up to 11520 x 2160 resolution. There is no 3D Vision support and no ULMB either unfortunately given the low refresh rate. The PG27AQ has a current ETA listed as 31/12/15 but OcUK expect it "around December time". Pre-order price is £799.99

Asus ROG Swift PG348Q - our recent news piece has more information about this very interesting 34" ultra-wide screen with 3440 x 1440 resolution and 100Hz refresh rate IPS panel. The OcUK spec confirms that G-sync and 100Hz refresh rate support is only supported on GTX 700, GTX 900 and Titan series. The DisplayPort supports 3440 x 1440 up to 100Hz and the additional HDMI input only supports 3440 x 1440 @ 30Hz. The ROG SWIFT PG348Q can support G-SYNC Surround (3x SWIFT PG348Q) up to 10320 x 1440 resolution. The spec also confirms that 3D Vision and ULMB are not supported on this model. The PG348Q has a current ETA listed as 31/12/15 but OcUK expect it "December/January time" and cannot guarantee pre-Christmas delivery due to the vagueness at the moment. Pre-order price is £1199.99. We hope to have a review of this at some point once it's available too but we expect it won't be until the new year.

Huge prices, for some perspective - 750 pounds is 1000 EURO is 1140 USD.
