The editors liked

  • Excellent gaming experience
  • Low response times and lag. Support for NVIDIA G-sync and new ULMB mode
  • Flicker-free backlight
  • Excellent default setup
  • Incredible responsiveness
  • Gameplay completely smooth thanks to GSYNC
  • A decent design for a gaming monitor
  • Finally a QHD TN panel
  • Sturdy stand
  • 4K resolution
  • G-Sync compatible
  • Excellent post-calibration color accuracy
  • Super smooth motion at the highest settings
  • Well thought out interface system – we love the nipple/joystick system
  • Build quality
  • Strongest
  • Most versatile monitor stand system we have seen
  • Very good ‘out of the box' setup

The editors didn't like

  • Restrictive viewing angles of TN Film technology
  • Lack of preset modes and some bells and whistles
  • Limited connectivity with DisplayPort only
  • We'd have liked an HDMI port to connect a games console or TV box
  • Even if it is without GSYNC
  • Pretty high price
  • No ULMB in 144 Hz mode
  • Very expensive
  • Mediocre out-of-box image quality
  • Limited monitor controls
  • The cost will be too prohibitive for many
  • AMD users will need to buy Nvidia hardware to take advantage of GSYNC
  • Be prepared to invest in expensive graphics hardware if you want consistent 100frame rates at 1440p in the latest DX11 games
  • Only $799 in Am

  • 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...

  Published: 2015-11-22, Author: Ashton , review by: apcmag.com

  • 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...

  • Overall, though the ROG Swift PG278QR impressed, it is difficult to distinguish its performance from that of another G-Sync display, the ViewSonic XG2703-GS. Since they both have the same resolution and refresh rate, the biggest difference between the two...

  • Nvidia Gsync, High refresh rate, Great colour contrast.
  • Works with few GPUs, Expensive, Gsync is difficult to set up
  • If you have a giant budget for your gaming monitor needs, and don't want a 4K monitor for some reason, the Swift PG278Q will definitely be great. It has almost every feature a gamer could want in a monitor, including a couple of USB pass-through ports for...
