that IPS glow in the first picture with ASUS logo is rather extreme. 😱

I bet is on 100% Brightness. It makes the IPS-glow stand out more.
Some say IPS monitors brightness should be on 30-40%. Anything over is is to much. But this is only for some monitors.
I really hope this ASUS model is not like the Acer XB270H with glow problems in the corners :bang:

I hope we have option to turn off that glowing ring.

It was an option on the TN model from last year. So I think it's save to say it will be the same with this model.

So trying to spot the difference between the PG278Q and this, anyone know?

Ya being funny?
PG278Q is based on a TN panel, and this one is based on a IPS panel.

With the last Swift (1440p TN panel) glow would be the least of your problems... I hope they step up in QC big time, or else this screen will cost €750 and you have to go through multiple RMAs to get a single screen that works as expected...

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?

Looking forward to the review, ZR24W is begging for replacement.

Sounds like I'm gonna stick with my XB270H (lucky it ain't broke) for a while until 3 shipment of PG279Q comes out
Sevuz
Give it... 3-4 years

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.
Sukovsky
There are awefully little monitors that have all the features I deserve to begin with...
fantaskarsef
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.

Until more companies start embracing these specs and flooding the market with them, never. There's only a handful of these monitors out so there's no competition to drive prices down.
The addition of IPS is nice but not worth selling my current Swift for this. I was lucky and got a Swift with no issues so not taking the risk of multiple RMA's.
fantaskarsef
That's right, keep it! KEEP IT! 😀
By the time you replace it, donate it to some museum as one of the few ones where QC seemed to have done it's job 😉

IPS ? TN anytime now, what a terrible picture to look @, dat backlight bleeding dam.

I went from the original Swift to the Acer XB270HU. The IPS is 10x better than the TN. Especially because of the weird contrast/first frame artifact that's present on the Swift. The AG coating is way better on the Acer as well. Only problem with the Acer is some of them have bleed in the corners and the build quality is kinda flimsy compared to the ASUS.
Asus basically screwed it's Swift owners though. The RMA process was like the worst experience ever and the Swifts during launch had so many problems, problems for days. And they wouldn't confirm whether the contrast artifact (some people call it inversion) was fixable or not.
Dorlor
Asus has always been like that, and its always a pain being an early adopter.
For the same reason, i decided to wait till better options are available (4k ips g-sync)
