ASUS 27-inch ROG Swift PG27AQ 4K Gaming Monitor with NVIDIA G-SYNC and IPS

[ArM]

It surely wouldn't support an higher fresh rate than 60Hz even in a lower resolution if it's already specify except if they don't use a stock IPS panel but much more a custom so not really an IPS with an extra module but how many that gonna cost yet???.

 

I think It would actually be better to go to the old QHD 1440p ROG Swift, the price as already start to drop down (I get mine last week for 680$) and actual gaming just start to go to a 1440p resolution,

 

Ok 4k is beautiful but not really ready & gonna be a standard for at least 2-3 years.

 

So if it's to play at 60Hz even with a bigger resolution, I really don't see the interest to go back when I can actually get a real decent 1440p resolution with a double higher 120-144Hz frequency.

Nice to see display tech moving forward, even slowly. For this kind of price I don't want any compromises. I'll wait for a monitor being 4K 144Hz <1ms freesync with AHVA like display but better quality and best responsiveness.

Cause paying so much for not getting a full package is a no.

Getting high res with low refresh rate or the other way oround and getting ugly TN or slow IPS.

No choosing, all is what I'll wait. It will take years, but worth it.

Not convinced about that 100%. With the IPS limitations, i wonder how they managed that. My guess is that they may have skimped on a few aspects. 

 

However, that is simply my speculations. If they did manage it somehow, I pray that it won't cost me an arm and a leg.

 

144hz ips is theoretically possible, but it has super bad ghosting

We'll see since Acer just announced there 144hz IPS-Like panel

Fixed

Holy balls, now I just need to sell my two 970's, work for two months and I'll be able to afford this bad boy :>

Just go get yourself a the Acer 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor. You will wait quite long for a 144Hz 4K. Perhaps Volta/R9 590X can give you enough performance to make it 144Hz @ 4K... Also by then, 8K will be on the market... YouTube does not support 120-144Hz if you are looking into streaming...so in the end it only is competitive gaming which might somewhat benefit from that frame rate...

acer xr341ck > this

 

 

this asus is an amazing long needed addition in monitor market, but ... 21:9 with 144hz > all

[Blackie Sheen]

Gsync with no 144hz = useless  

 

And since not even tn 4k monitors can hadle 144hz because bandwith is not enough even for DP 1.2

 

*waits for 4k 144hz gsync for baller cs:go *

Corner peaking will get to a whole new level

[Yeater]

All we need now is 4K, IPS, 144Hz with g-sync/free sync.

Would be hard to drive 144 hz on this monitor without using low settings and or lower resolution

[Nineshadow]

But oh the price...

4-Way Titan X is your solution.

[Opcode]

Make a 144 Hz FreeSync version and I'm sold.

Current monitors are not a massive gap compared to what I have. Either it's crappy TN or slow IPS so I'd rather wait for something great! It doesn't mean I'd play games at 4K@144Hz just cause I want that kind of monitor, people always jump on that. Yes ofc I'd play some games, only those with eye candy to make them even more good looking, also 4K for desktop use.

Some games I'd play at low resolution and details for reasons, not lack of hardware power. I'd set 1080p or less for games like Quake and everything else that won't benefit from 4K.

Cause in FPS games I'd set stuff on off and put lowest settings no matter how strong hardware I have. I can see players way better and usually those kind of games or MP don't have top notch looks.

Look it up. It's technically not like other isp panels. Its an ISP type panel but its slightly different then what you find in regular isp panels. I don't know the exact details but there is another name for the isp 120hz-144hz panels. Its like high angle something or another. Idk but just google or Bing or what ever "isp 120hz panels" and read some articles.

[Sharp_3yE]

What we really need is a Nic ultra wide with these kind of specs except with 120hz (though you may not reach that with ultra wide at even 1080 but hey WHY NOT).

Ok... I thought you are jumping from some 1080p 60hz tn pannel to something better... And how come you dont get distracted from pixeleted looking frames? Im going for 4K for that reason. I don't wanna see pixels all over. A 27" screen looks horrible at 1080p, pixel density is so low, not to mension 1080p 40"+ tvs... 4K all the way. Idk how those console gamers are able to play on those big tvs, but since they dont care, maybe its fine...

[Yeater]

4-Way Titan X is your solution.

Well if that is a realistic setup

[OlekKing]

Titan X SLI would like to say hi.

But yeah, fuck 4K just because of 60Hz.

I have a Swift and i'm loving it with my 980 SLI at 1507Mhz.

If the Titan X is around 1K i'll switch to two of those.

Yeah being able to see pixels, specially when reading is annoying. But can't wait to get some uber monitor. But for something I don't need more than 1024x768 4:3 with ton of FPS, hence this pic can show you why. Screenshot

Ok...true. Quake Live!

[Thony]

Dropping the "ROG" name and "For Gamers" fluff will probably drop the price tag a few hundred alone.

Correct. But gsync still adds a lot to monitir's price.

[Giannhs]

Any news regarding the price or release date?
