Asus ROG Swift PG279Q WQHD 144Hz IPS Panel and G-sync

This one slipped through the mazes. The PG279Q is for people looking for a 27″ display with G-Sync. The new PG279Q is 27" in size and features a 144Hz capable IPS-type panel and NVIDIA G-sync support.

According to Asus it has "extensive connectivity" options including DisplayPort and HDMI connectivity. Remember we mentioned that there has been a revision to the GSYNC board supporting HDMI ? There you go.

very little to really no other specs and information have been posted, neither any other features - availability or pricing. This and other than that this is a WHQD screen with a screen resolution of 2560x1440. The press release seems to indicate that the screen will be part of the Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand, which makes total sense if you look at the design of course.

When is this stuff going to get affordable?? How long does a man have to wait to buy 144hz, 1440p and 1ms IPS at a decent price?

Give it... 3-4 years

Ya being funny?

PG278Q is based on a TN panel, and this one is based on a IPS panel.

Nope, I wasn't sure, sheesh

I must say the current monitor market sucks donkey balls, Can't say I'm impressed by any of them TBH.

There isn't a single one that combines all the best tech, they all have at least one compromise, whether it be screen glow, response time, resolution etc.

Most likely we will see them drop in price when 4K/144Hz and 8K/60Hz are normal

But yes, you're right, there's not many 1440p / 144Hz screens, no matter if you go IPS or TN. Add Gsync or Fsync and you're down to very few alternatives.
