Dodgy released reviews of high class brands?

Grihm

Seriously, what is the deal when you have products released, as the ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q, and when you look for a review, you either get a grainy video with a non English narrative, a robotic voice with really bad imagery? 

 

 

 

 

Looking at these " reviews " would you decide your possible purchase on any of these?

 

This is a ROG product...but i feel the lackluster information here makes me see this as useful as a gas-station sushi. Where are the REAL reviews...the quality ones? Is this not a product worth it or what´s the deal?

Good reviews take time to make, probably they are still in the works while these low effort jobs are ready.

I have been looking for a new monitor now for so long i´m growing moss. To be confronted with a crappy robotvoice is just...

 

Nope.

I wholeheartedly do not recommend buying premiering product in general. In your specific mention of the PG329Q, I just happened to have run through two of those in 2 weeks. Phenomenal monitor for its price but its HDR has a brightness dipping issue(there is another thread discussing it). As of right now, I am one of the only two person who left review on this monitor on Newegg. 

 

TL;DR: unless it is a high profile product like the ampere cards where LTT would have a video about it sitting on when the embargo lifts, decent reviews won't come until long after the product has permeated the market. And yeah, they generally come in written form. :(
