So where is the Asus pg279q?

[Profoundsoup]

I thought it was supposed to come out at the end of the month

[Muz]

Still a few days :-)

[Coombzy]

I believe it comes out in the first week of November.

It's been out for weeks and it's a panel lottery just like the XB270HU was.

Rumors say that the PG279Q comes out the first week in November. Asus also said that there will no shortage of inventory. So we should not see "out of stock" on the PG279Q.

i already got mine, it came out 12th October in Germany but exclusively to 1 online-retailer.

RMA'd it once because of massive backligth bleed in 2 corners. secound time i got a pannel without backligth bleed.

and it's awesome i love it!

Holy shit, I found some guys talking about the Gamma on the Swift being set wrong from the factory, I found a guide on how to adjust it to the proper calibration, it looks SO much better.

 

I used to think my Swift was ~80% as good looking as my IPS PB278Q, and now it looks identical almost, holy shit!

 

 

Edit just found out that was you talking about it @Falkentyne Thanks for helping me even though you didn't directly help

Mind sharing some pictures/a video of the monitor with us if it's not too much trouble?

Would appreciate it

Glad you are liking the PG279Q. What monitor were you using before?

i was using a iiyama ProLite E2210HDS. Basically a five? year old 1080p 60Hz TN 2ms, so it was a huge upgrade

Did you notice going from 2ms to 4ms?

So first of upgrading from 22' to 27' is like sitting in cinema in the first row, it took some to getting used to it

It's also was the first time i tried G-Sync, basically it's awesome i ran Unigine Heaven maxed out and i get like 40 fps with my GTX 980TI and it looked like 70 fps or Arma 3 because of the crap engine you only get like 50-70 fps (55% Gpu usage, 30% CPU usage) but feels so much smoother than on my old 60hz monitor. so if you get 1-165 fps in you games your super smooth with g-sync and above that i have V-sync enabled so when i play CS for example its always in the V-sync limit.

The colours look way better, not with that grey tint, like you get on TN screens.

and i think it's matching perfecly with a single 980 TI, a 3440x1440 screen would be to much for one card as far as I'm concerned.

the extra screen real estate in windows is also pretty handy you can have two websites side by side with 100% scaling and nothing ist cut of at the sides

the PG279Q do even feel faster but i think it's because of g-sync and the high refresh rate.

it would be a better comparison if i had a 144hz monitor before

but i recently i testet my old monitor against my father's dell 1080p ips 8 ms and i couldn't tell a diffrence, so i'm not that scared of imput lag but it should be under 10ms

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I think if your going from a 60hz to a 144hz+ monitor, your performance in FPS games is going to go up no matter if it's 2ms vs 4ms.

yep that's what i wanted to say. but i played not that much fast paced shooter's until now i think in BF4 it would be even more an advantage as in the slow Gameplay of Arma 3

BTW: 100+ fps = hz max out in BF4 so nearly double than before on 60hz
