Need to see to understand
Pleasing out of the box performance
Particularly with respect to gamma. Colours were rich and inviting after a little tweaking
The most important ‘tweak' being to lower brightness
A good contrast performance free from peripheral ‘glow' (e.g. IPS glow)
The editors didn't like
Somewhat Pricey
Only A Single Input
Only one video output
Skewed greens
Moderate viewing angles
Limited viewing angles
Connectivity only via DisplayPort
Monitor price is a bit high so far
Only works on Nvidia GPUs
Some colour channel corrections needed to reach the desired 6500K white point on our unit. Vibrancy held back a little by screen surface and further down the screen due to TN viewing angle limitations
The screen surface provided a grainy look in places a
Excellent gaming experience, GSync, Great image quality for a TN panel;

My first impressions of the ASUS RoG Swift PG278Q are very positive. The first Republic of Gamers monitor stands as a premium product, and one of the best RoG branded items on the market today.Mixing G-Sync, high refresh-rate and the 1440p resolution, and...
With all these features like G-Sync the monitor has huge potential for you guys, the gamers. My advice: you need to personally see it to believe it as no chart or recorded video can display the on-screen G-Sync experience you can only see in a real-world...

Reviewing monitors is, as we've said before, difficult. After all you're looking at this on whatever you currently own, so even if we had a perfect fidelity reproduction it will never look as it should because of the limitations in your display. The best...
Smoooooth, Slim bezel, GSync technology, 3D Vision 2 support, Ultra Low Motion Blur, Excellent picture, Great gaming, DP 1.2 connection, USB 3.0 functionality
Pricing
When you get down to it, the facts are that even with a TN panel being used for the high refresh rate, the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync monitor delivers great picture quality and truly impressive gaming. I could go on all day long about how smooth each of...
Abstract: So what separates a ‘gaming monitor' from your normal display? Usually, one or more of the following: Playing games at 120Hz or 144Hz allows you to play them at 120fps or 144fps, and with twice the frequency of updates everything feels more fluid, smooth...
Visuals; Superb colour and text crispness, Build Quality, Performance - 1ms refresh is impressive, Features such as Gameplus are clever and useful
Premium cost and it's no spring chicken
With 4k becoming more and more prevalent, would I be better off waiting? The voice of reason in the back of my head says "don't be silly James, what graphics card is capable of doing 4k in anger? Remember when you were thinking about buying a 4k TV 18 mon...

So, it's the end of this review, and I'll bet you want to hear my final thoughts. I can sum up the next several paragraphs in one sentence: This monitor kicks ass, takes no prisoners, and is one hell of a gaming monitor and would be great for an Eyefinit...
Sturdy stand, 4K resolution, G-Sync compatible, Excellent post-calibration color accuracy
Very expensive, Mediocre out-of-box image quality, Limited monitor controls
Like the Asus PG279Q, the PG27AQ is a monitor that is difficult to compare with others because its feature set is so specific. Its only obvious, direct competitor is the Acer XB280HK, another 4K panel with G-Sync. The Acer holds up against the PG27AQ in most...
