ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q questions.

[sainsburyambrose]

Hi I am thinking of buying the asus PG279Q monitor (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-asus-pg279q-rog-swift-165hz-nvidia-g-sync-2k-ips-monitor-2560x1440-4ms-10001-dp-hdmi-2x-usb-30-bl) but I would like to ask some questions about it first.

1.) As it is an IPS monitor how bad is the glow and does it effect gameplay on games like witcher 3/AC origins. I have heard lots of horror stories about terrible backlighting bleed and poor quality control.

2.) does it have sound built in, if so is it any good?

1. Not as bad as other ips and it doesn't affect gameplay. You really don't notice ips glow except in dark images. Ips glow is not the same as backlight bleed which often gets mixed. Quality control has been a lot better since its release 2 years ago.

2. Yes and small monitor speakers are never any good.
