Asus announces ROG 27" 1440p 120hz+ G-Sync monitor!

[Markus]

Asus just annonced a new monitor, yep, you read the title right, a ROG 27" 1440p 120hz+ G-Sync monitor!

 

 

The monitor also has 1ms response time and a 6mm bezel. But... its $799...

 

Edit: Quote from article; Looks like it's not IPS though, apparently really good for a TN panel

 

They announced a lot of other stuff too, but this is the one that took my interrest.

A clean look

Not too terrible of a price either.

Put an Alienware badge on it and sell it for $3000

Yeap, im so buying that one.

[Titanicium]

 

I am buying this the second it comes to the market

[TechSage]

Not a fan of screens bigger than 24 inches, or TN panels.

The 1ms response time is a gimmick

[defunkt]

1ms response.. So TN.. I'm good.

Don't need 1440p....1080p is still fine just make sure the great response time comes with great vivid colors. Just make em goooooooood

 It is expensive, no doubt, but the fact that it's 1440p, has the GSync module and has the RoG branding; it's not out of this world expensive.

[Sernyhough]

When i saw this i burst out laughing, then i noticed it was 1440p...

[FloRolf]

well, at least 1440p...

[_ASSASSIN_]

damn it's TN, but this will be the first 1440p monitor that's TN that I have seen at least

[Imabigmac]

No ips?

[Scionyde]

Seems like a pretty awesome monitor if you're the type of person that really likes high refresh rate monitors

[Titanicium]

No ips?

 

Not possible at that framerate, but they should have included VA

[Xorbot]

Damn, I got my hopes up thinking it was just a G-Sync version of my current montior: PB278Q.  Note that my monitor is PLS (IPS) with 2560x1440.

 

But alas, it seems that the PG278Q is not a PLS panel.  But on the upside it does have a higher resolution.  I am not sure how to balance the pros/cons yet, and find out on what side I end-up on.

 

EDIT: some sites are reporting 3820x2160, but the Asus keynote site itself reports 1440p.  If that's the case, then I will have to stick with my current PB278Q.

I edited the post, the TN panel is supposedly really good.

I just bought a matte 27" 1440p that i'll oc to 120hz for 270€.

THAT is not too terrible of a price.

You can't make a Cow look like a elegant cat if you no matter what you do. It may be nice, but it is still TN

[ttam]

TN is fine people. Stop whining. 

 

I own both. They both work great.

Do I have a preference? Nope.

 

99% chance that you will never buy it lol.

I was too hoping that then I would have got a second but at $800 I'd much rather stick it out with tearing and 60hz until an pls/ips comes out.

I will. Just hate the fact that they couldn't have taken the extra step and included VA on the damn thing...
