Much of our thoughts on the PG279Q echo those we have had about previous ASUS ROG Swift displays. The most obvious thing is how good this looks even when it's turned off. The combination of a thin bezel that has been subtly rounded gives the whole monitor...

Every once in a while we update what we call our "reference display" at the PC Perspective offices, which is the monitor that we keep on hand to compare to every other monitor that comes after it. The original ROG Swift held that position for a while but...
After my time with the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q, I came to fall in love with it completely. I was a huge, huge fan of the original ROG Swift PG278Q, but the PG279Q fixes all my faults with the PG278Q (and it's not like that list was huge). I really wanted...
