ASUS ROG PG279Q issues

[js_theking]

UGH .... UGH...

Honestly, for 1200$ CAD, I was hoping to get a better panel than the one I received.

I rolled the dice, hoped for a good, working panel but here we are lol

 

I recorded the most annoying issue yet:

It's like the screen is cut in half. It happens about 15% of the time when I alt tab or start a game. I also affects browsing or just Windows itself.

 

Have you guys seen this before? I tried communicating with Asus but their CS is hopeless.

Pretty common problem and it is reported all over the ASUS forums my suggestion is to make a post yourself and hope an admin or customer support staff sees it.

This is basically false advertising on Asus's part. Not going to lie, I'm pretty pissed about this. I don't own one, but I did consider buying one/a few at the time. The amount of complaints/returns on their panels due to the back light bleeding and issues like this is ridiculous. 

 

Just give the best/perfect ones for display/advertising, but give the others/crap ones to the customers? Really?

I just got the ASUS PG27AQ (The 4k model) and I love it. Have no problems whatsoever. In fact I'm kind of thinking of getting the PG279 for the refresh rate also.

My suggestion would be to buy it from a local store. Way easier to exchange it this way in case you run into a problem, which you probably will.

I bought 5 different panels and had all sorts of problems. You are better off getting a Predator XB271HU It's basically the same exact monitor without any of the problems.

This panel is utter crap in terms of general quality. The issue you're having is very know, and was supposed to be fixed by a FW update ages ago.

Wait, FW updates? I haven't done any.

There is an updated FW that fixes this issue. You can't update it yourself tho.
