Abstract: The ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q gaming monitor is a top-of-the-line, enthusiast-grade gaming monitor.The most up-front feature is the world-first 165Hz refresh rate, compared with the standard 60Hz. However, this is only useful if your PC can run games at 165 F...
Excellent image quality, IPS quality and fast refresh rate in one, Good build quality, Superb gaming experience
Expensive, Limited connectivity, Quality control issues
Asus ROG Swift PG279Q – Image Quality As just mentioned, this display arrives looking pretty good right out of the box. That AHVA panel benefits from superb viewing angles, plus contrast is good with an obvious depth to dark areas of the image and a rich...

ASUS' hard work has put down a path for the other gaming monitors. We are very excited about all three of the models, which all have their strengths. We do not see any real downfalls from any of the MG278Q, the MG279Q, or the PG279Q. This makes it hard...

Significant light output reduction in ULMB mode, Calibration required for best image quality, Expensive
Asus' new addition to its ROG line isn't perfect but it certainly delivers on its promise. With a sharp and bright IPS panel, 165Hz and G-Sync, the PG279Q has everything an enthusiast could want. It doesn't come cheap but we suspect that buyer's remorse w...
Limited input options, Gamma is too dark, Expensive for 1440p resolution
Asus has a mission to make the Republic of Gamers product line world-class in every category, and the ROG Swift PG279Q spares nothing in search of that effort. It offers not just excellent image quality, but also a high refresh rate, frame synchronizati...

Excellent gaming performance - G-sync, ULMB, fast response times, high refresh rate, no lag, Good default setup, All round performance from IPS panel surpasses TN Film gaming screens
Glow on dark content is remaining issue of IPS panels, Overclocking refresh rate not much more than a gimmick, Still limited in connectivity and scaler support compared with FreeSync models

Excellent for gaming, G-Sync technology works very well, Huge refresh rate spectrum, Looks the business, Excellent adjustments
The price
G-Sync technology on a 27in, 2,560x1,440-resolution monitor makes a lot of sense for gamers who have a high-end video card in their rig. Something like a GeForce GTX 980 Ti or Titan X is able to push healthy framerates in all games, so whilst the 40-60fps...
GSync technology keeps gaming impeccably smooth, Design, Now with HDMI port, Great response times for an IPS display
IPS display isn't as responsive as a TN panel, Ultra Low Motion Blur doesn't work over 120 Hz, Expensive
As a direct rival for the Acer XB270HU, the Asus PG279Q is an updated version of the ROG Swift 278Q that pushes the refresh rate up to 165 Hz and gets an HDMI port. You may or may not like the design, but this monitor is clearly a high-end and high-perfor...

IPS panel, 144Hz refresh rate and can be overclock at 165Hz, Great color production, ULMB and G-Sync ready, Great aesthetic design
Pricey, USB hub is quite difficult to access
ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q is the best gaming monitor available in the market, with up to 165Hz refresh rate and G-Sync ready, the experience is very subtle...
