Hey all,

 

Does anyone know of a comparable monitor to the ROG Swift.  G-Sync isn't a requirement.

I ask because I'm having difficulty finding a 144Hz IPS 1440p for an upgrade i'm looking at doing mid year.

 

The reason i don't want to go with the swift is that it is way overpriced here in Aus and the design of the swift would look a bit out of place in my setup..

 

Appreciate any help with this.

 

Cheers

Like Prokeero said, 1440p 144hz is expensive no matter where you look.

Try this: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31877/acer-xb270h-g-27in-g-sync-144hz-gaming-monitor

It's not 1440p, or IPS, but it is 1080p, 144Hz and does have G-Sync. It's also significantly cheaper than the ROG SWIFT PG279Q.

If you're set on getting 144Hz, 1440p and IPS however, you might need to wait until they become more affordable or just buy an ROG SWIFT

Thanks Guys,

 

I assumed it was just the swift that was more expensive than it needed to be
