There are a few monitors that are coming out soon that are an alternative to Swift, but they are not released yet.

So far 1440p monitors has been lacking. Quite a number of 60hz ones, but very few 144hz or G-Sync ones (Swift was both the first G-Sync 1440p monitor and first 1440p 144hz monitor to hit the market).

You can buy a Korean monitor from eBay that ships from Korea. Some of them have Samsung PLS panels and some have other panels. They have 1440p and 1600p. For less than the PG278Q but might not have the refresh rate or response time as the ROG Swift.

1) GSYNC:
This is new technology that is truly awesome for smooth gameplay but requires a new, expensive monitor and only works with modern NVidia cards.

It's difficult to compare a monitor that doesn't have G-Sync however.

2) This ASUS is the 1440p monitor I recommend. Look at the customer feedback scores for other 1440p monitors:

Other:
The ROG SWIFT is not only G-Sync but also a quality TN panel. The Asus above uses an IPS panel which provides a better picture quality especially along the edges but does have the slight drawback of slight ghosting (most obvious with dark background and bright moving objects).

You are always going to weigh the Pros and Cons but currently the Asus above is my top choice.

There are CHEAPER 1440p monitors but quality issues exist, and while the Asus Rog Swift may be the "best" gaming monitor it's not only expensive but is inferior in some ways with the TN panel as mentioned.

So ASUS PB278Q arguably is the best 1440P non G-sync monitor ?
