Nvidia G-SYNC technology is something that is hard to put into words but if you try it you will understand it and it will be tough to game without it. 10
I mentioned above that G-SYNC is hard to truly appreciate simply from reading a review, so I'll try to do it justice here. Because I got a hands-on preview last fall, I pretty much knew what to expect from this monitor, and thankfully, it delivered. Wha...
The ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q is hands down the best gaming monitor that we have had the opportunity to use so far this year. The difference with and without G-Sync is very pronounced on most of the game titles that we play on a regular basis and it is a majo...

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)

I keep telling you that you need to see this thing in action for yourself—in order to appreciate G-Sync, in order to grasp how decent a "good TN" panel can be. Earlier, then, I pointedly directed you not to try out the PG278Q in person if you didn't want...
If you skipped right to the conclusion to gague our impression of the new ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q monitor with G-Sync, let me make it clear -- this monitor is awesome. It packs in virtually all of the features gamers crave, and it looks good while doing it...

It's really easy to fall in love with the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q monitor when you start using it. The build quality of the display is top notch and, even though it has the TN moniker on it, the quality and viewing angles are better than you're going to exp...

From the tone of this review, you can probably tell we're excited about G-Sync. It's the first revolutionary display technology we've seen in a very long time. Advances in host and graphics processing performance are so frequent that they're practically p...
