It looks very good (on paper). What's the catch?

I've come to the conclusion that 27' is just too small a screen size, you spend all that money on a high end GPU (or two) then play games on something as small as 27'.
I really think that a 32' 16:9 or 34' 21:9 should be the minimum to go for nowadays.

27 could be nice for gaming, on 32 your eye start to "search" things on screen if too close (less than 1m) on 27 you are still focused on the whole screen (mean more "killer" vision).
of course refresh rate and resolution are important too.

It depends on how far you're sitting from the screen and what your doing on it. When I play CS:GO I hate 27" but for everything else it's better.

To be honest I think my current screen (24") is too big as i find im searching for things on the screen.
I played my best in FPS on a 19 inch non wide screen monitor (1280/1024).
That said i'm short sighted so most likley sit with my face closer to the monitor, size is relative afterall!

27" is more than enough for me. Any bigger and I need to sit further away from the screen.
I have the Swift model but this one could be a great seller. As usual though, it all comes down to price and how people in Europe, especially the UK will get ripped off 😉

"screen will have a minimum refresh rate around 40Hz" Hope that doesnt mean that screen stops VRR after that. Some VRR monitors wont go below 20hz or they start blinking.

I'm a noob when it comes to monitors so I have a question for you all:
I currently have a 1080p IPS monitor 60hz. I would like to keep this monitor and buy a G-sync/freesync monitor sometime in the future. Can I run them both at the same time with one having a variable refresh rate? I would game on the g-sync/freesync monitor while the other one up for things like twitch/email/porno.

Well, this is my new dream monitor. I'm on a 144hz, 24" ASUS right now.

the "catch" is this does NOT use amd freeSYNC
it uses some kind of compatible open adaptive sync'ing
will it be as good as real freeSYNC?
who knows, but then we wouldnt really need freesync to exist at all other than branding.
I will wait for some reviews first
the BIG PLUS this monitor has is not the high refresh rate
but the DIFFERENCE between the lowest and the high

mmm..tempted by this ips panel but i am enjoying my Rog Swift PG278Q panel at the moment the colors not to bad actually, i have it sitting next to a Qnix pls panel and the Swifts 8bit tn color is surprisingly way better.
