  • Finally a 1440P IPS FreeSync panel, FreeSync mode functions down to 35Hz (other panels bottom at 40Hz or higher), Nice design, borrowing many cues from the ROG Swift, No external power brick needed
  • FreeSync mode limited to 90Hz on the high side, FreeSync still has a variable refresh bottom limit
  • We were pleasantly surprised with the ASUS MG279Q. The build quality exceeds all other FreeSync displays tested to date. The IPS-type 1440P display offers great color reproduction and viewing angles, and is capable of 144Hz maximum (static) refresh rates...

  • IPS quality colour and contrast, Free of motion-blur, FreeSync
  • Rather expensive, FreeSync 90Hz limit
  • ASUS has delivered one of the best gaming displays on the market, and the price tag reflects this.

  • Finition, Fréquence maximale de 144 Hz, Réactivité pour de l'IPS, Compatibilité FreeSync, Ergonomie, Angles de vision
