Well, not bad, yet it doesn't have 1440p like I hoped, to see some competition for the Asus Swift. Also, for that price, spending 100€ more to get 1440p isn't such a bad deal anymore, at least imho.

Im waiting on DisplayPort 1.2a standard. Adaptive-Sync and the forthcoming DisplayPort 1.3 standard port before I upgrade my monitor.
I want to compare between the 2 types and make my choice between gsync and freesync and then I will make the correct choice without regret.

For a 27" display, I require greater than 1080P. That's fine for a television where I sit four metres away from it. It's not sufficient on a screen of that size when it's 50cm away from my face. If I pay for a 27" screen, it's because I want to make use of the real estate. I can't make full use of it if the resolution is still that of a smaller screen. Even my 24" is 1920x1200 and I certainly don't intend to downgrade!
Other features may be nice, but they are the things I would use to decide between monitors once I'd picked size and resolution, not before.

If this monster had QHD i maybe consider buying it, and sold my Samsung S27A950D.

1440p, 120hz, IPS please and you'll find my money in the post.

Megabiv - beat me to it. That's exactly what i'm waiting for! Although having tried a G-Sync panel recently I might opt for one of the new Asus ROG panels in the interim, don't think we'll be seeing anything IPS/G-Sync/120 until next year.

It must be a truly engrossing experience to have a 144hz monitor drop 70 frames every other minute because of cpu bottlenecks and poor optimisation in games.
I doubt even CS:S would maintain a 144 frame minimum on any hardware, they just aren't optimised to that level.
Factor in the sheer number of video cards you need to get those framerates ( which is even more of a cpu bottleneck ) and it just wouldn't be worth the trouble.
Something that is better on paper than in RL I imagine.
Just like 4K monitors, when you need tri-sli 980s to get 60 frames in all the latest games ( Crysis 3? ). We have a lot of tech that is ahead of what the other hardware can supply.

Hitting 120/144 consistently is difficult but that's not entirely the point of displays with a high refresh rate. Even if your graphics card is outputting less than 120 FPS, maybe even less than 60 FPS, the display still refreshes at 120 Hz thereby giving you a smoother experience. Sure some of those frames are going to be repeats but the effect is the same.
4K of is a different story but since this is new technology this isn't exactly surprising. Actually one of the more realistic benefits of 4K right now is that you don't necessarily need to force any additional AA when running at native.
As for CS:GO, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to average well above 200 FPS at 1080p, even with a single GTX 980... you could test 😉

I got my Swift for that suggested retail price. I wouldn't pay more than 500 for a 1080p part.

Does not matter. Irrelevant if game companies are dumbing everything down to 30fps because of "limitations". Haha.

It's way too expensive. Also, 1920x1080 at 27" will result in huge pixels.
