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

A good contrast performance free from peripheral ‘glow' (e.g. IPS glow)
The editors didn't like
Somewhat Pricey

Only one video output
Skewed greens
Moderate viewing angles
Limited viewing angles
Connectivity only via DisplayPort
Monitor price is a bit high so far

about it, Premium price tag ($799 or Php45,000), Viewing angles are not that great, Color reproduction and Contrast is good, but not at par with other panels, Only has one (1) video port, G-SYNC is only limited to NVidia Graphics cards (sorry AMD users),

Incorporates GSync technology, Easy to use controls and OSD, Wellengineered stand, Thin bezel, Fast and responsive pixels
Only a single MiniDP input, Out of box color accuracy only decent, GSync only works with NVIDIA GPUs, Very pricey and it's not a 4K screen
The ASUS ROG Swift RG278 combines cutting-edge monitor technologies in a sleek and attractive design. The light up base might not be to everyone's tastes, but you cannot argue against its slim design and those thin bezels. The stand is also very well engi...
