ASUS Rog swift

I'm about to upgrade my monitor to the rog swift and was wanting to know if anyone has the panel and how it looks. It is the ahva panel that is ips type by au optronics as the Acer XB270HU .

I just want some trusted input on the matter before I spend a couple hundred dollars. My current Ben-Q monitor sucks ass when it comes to colors and contrast and does not have gsync support.

I'll be buying the rog swift later today if no one has any input on the matter.

I have 2 right now, just got my second in last week and I'm loving them. Linus has a review up at
 
Nice monitor, be sure to use one of our affiliated links to buy it so our site gets credit for it.
Are you getting it from Amazon?
 
the quality of the ben q monitor is unacceptable when it comes to colors and display quality.

I am looking forward to the increase in pixel density over the next week. I am unsure how the qhd resoulitoin will effect the end result.
 
I've been hearing good things about the acer XB270HU so far. Hoping it's going to be a cheaper alternative - $700 screens are a hard buy lol
 
I can tell you I love mine, it is not gonna compete with a top of the line IPS monitor for color accuracy but an IPS is never gonna push pixels at the rate this monitor can. It looks good and 1440P kicks ass with Gsync enabled.

I got the monitor through amazon warehouse deals. I paid $625 for and $800 monitor because it was opened. The monitor had not been removed from the packaging but just opened. Hell yes for amazon warehouse deals!

the difference in pixel density is huge and everything looks sharper and more detailed compared to my 1080p benQ monitor.

Going from 144Hz to 144Hz g-sync is not as big of a deal as I hoped it would be. I really cant tell any difference other than the pixel density.

Color saturation and black detail are excellent, just as good if not better as the IPS panel in my laptop.

Design is awesome, panel quality is amazing

the only thing that bothers me is the FPS lost due to higher pixel count. Far cry 4 would run buttery on my 1080p monitor but on this new monster I am getting something closer to ~60 so it looks rather unpleasant to me. I'm going to be spending more time with the monitor today so if anyone want's to ask any questions please ask.

if you have a 60Hz monitor then the ASUS ROG Swift is something you should save up for and upgrade to. Is it really worth the $800 they are wanting for it? NO.... when acer launches their monitor based on the same panel and other options come out then prices will fall. I dont think Nvdida will be able to hold onto the $200 price premium when ATI saturates the market with FreeSync as it is included in the lateset VESA standard
 
Gaspar are you going to think about getting G-sync surround with the ROG swift eventually when the support comes out? How is FPS gaming in comparison to MMO gaming and whats the bezel like in your opinion?

With the hardware I have now I am doing good to support 1440p, I am a single monitor kind of guy. There is a weird flickering of some of the lighting in far cry 4 that did not exist previously. I will say with the pixel density being what it is I don't have to use any AA for any of the games, which saves heaps of performance at 1440p.

Coming from the BenQ monitor I had I must say having very small bezels makes a huge difference in immersion. Not having inch thick bezels around the screen makes the perception of being in the game much easier to achieve.

This is simply the best computer monitor I have ever used! IF you have the coin and setup capable to driving all those 3,686,400 pixels then I would say invest in it. 1080p is not something I could go back to after playing on a display as nice as this one.

I will admit I have the "ITCH" for the 980Ti, if the performance numbers are correct one 980Ti will have roughly 80% of the performance of my 780Ti SLI setup.

I do plan on waiting on Pascale or Volta to release before I upgrade. I have a distinct feeling that I will not be able to :cat:
