Second ROG Swift (PG278Q)

[StealthArsenal]

Hello all,

 

I have been toying around with the idea of matching up my monitors on my gas arms so that the bezels and the screen alignment is identical.  Previously, I was using an Acer K272HUL with my Swift, but the alignment was bugging me so I went out to my Microcenter and picked up an Asus MG279Q earlier this week.  While that monitor lines up much better than my Acer, I am still contemplating an identical match with another Swift.  With that said, does it make sense to ditch the MG279Q (bare in mind that one of the other quirks with the MG is that when I wake the computer from sleep, the Swift flickers on an off while it waits for the MG to wake up.  The Swift is instant).  I paid $517 with tax for the MG and can get a refurbished Swift with a year and half warranty for $479.

 

I understand this is probably a bit of an unorthodox thread, but I am looking for some feedback. 

 

Thanks

IMO if you have the money , if you need it, it's for your comfort so do it.

Sounds like you're the only one that can really answer this question. Is it worth it to you to spend $500 to resolve a cosmetic issue with your setup?

Well,  I may have just blown up my own thread by ordering two Acer XB271HU Predators.  I am a uniform and clean aesthetic person so it does bother me.

Seems like a reasonable solution to your problem.

I bought the monitors direct from Acer Re-certified for $499 each.
