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.

What they should release, and can be now done is 34" IPS screen at 2560x1600, G-sync, 144Hz with 2-3ms response time. Franeless.

But.. bigger pixels is not progress
Would be nice to see a 32" 4k monitor supporting 144Hz and G-Sync though. Not even sure if that would require a newer DP or HDMI standard..
I'd trade my Asus PB278Q happily, if offered. This PG279Q just has all the right specs, even when running a single NVidia card.
This might be my next monitor, too bad it's only 27". I'm currently on an old 27" 1440p 60Hz IPS (Dell U2711 REVA07) and even though 144Hz and g-sync on an IPS sound great, I would have loved to have a small size increase as well.

Don't you mean 3440x1440/2560x1080 aka Ultrawide?
If so, yes that's wham i'm waiting for, unless it's overpriced like ROG Swift.

I want this now!
So many problems with Acer and its... Acer!
I hate my Benq xl2411 too, its TN so... and when I have 60hz ips next to it, it doesnt really help to see how bad TN is.
Just release this Asus asap with same specs than Acer but with better QC and better frame etc and im done.
When it comes down to QC, I doubt that Asus has learned from the TN Swift's launch...
Lets hope Asus ships panels without dead pixels. Planned on buying the Acer Predator XB270HUbprz but the amount of returned displays because of dead pixels is way too high!
Are there any real numbers you have? Because I'd be interested to really know how many Swift and Acer were returned...
