Asus ROG Swift

So while I was at Microcenter I did my weekly check-up to see if they had this monitor. After month's of asking and looking for it everywhere. I got it today when I went there and it was the only one left in stock. I am so happy that I finally found one. Now I just need to wait and see what the new generation of gpu's will do at 1440p. I also bought a Crucial MX100 512GB SSD for $199.99. Considering I spent $279.99 on my last ssd which was a Samsung 830 256GB. I call it a steal and I heard the Crucial is a great SSD for the money. Now just need to save up my money for 2 new gpus and the 680 should be fine for now as I won't be playing on ultra at 2560x1440.

Hope you wont face issues with that monitor like a lot of other people .. enjoy buddy!

lol I was just thinking about that. What issues have people been having. So far I hooked it up and no dead pixels. Which is great because my acer 24" had 1 dead pixel and they would not let me return it for a refund or another monitor. I used that monitor for 6 years lol. Do you know any calibration sites to use? This monitor did come already installed with the stand which was nice.

I'm on 780's. Seems to be the sweet spot. (same monitor)

Got my Swift delivered yesterday and I love it. Absolutely no Lightbleed or dead pixels. Replaced a Acer G-Sync monitor and it was well worth it. Single 780 Classy handles it wonderfully! Probably the best looking TN monitor I've seen by a long shot.
