Is Asus ROG Swift PG278Q worth?

[Nikos kelidis]

Im looking for a good gaming monitor at 1440p and 144hz with G-sync(not sure about g-sync) I was considering the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q but ive read a lot of bad reviews about the colors ,viewing angle and also dead pixes and other problems on arrival and it got me thinking...So is it worth it?

My spects are:
i7 6700k
Asus Z170-DELUXE
EVGA GTX 980Ti SC

Buying any monitor is always based on luck, you don't know what's wrong until you turned it on first. ROG Swift is a pretty good monitor, just calibrate the colors and you'll be good to go. If you want better colors, then buy an IPS, but they are expensive at 1440/144. GSync is pretty useful at that resolution.

Hmm thats true! Can you suggest me some 1440/144 monitors with or without g-sync! Also is g-sync worth? because if i get a high end GPU and my screen has 1ms and i dont think it will do much of a difference on the responce time!

I love G-sync and figured out a way to get an amazing screen for a low cost, 4k DSR looks so good on every game if you have the horsepower.

I could picture people thinking it's not worth when the cost is too high which is most of the time. My experience has been flawless, and am now spoiled and could never go back to a 60hz.

The problem is that at my country i dont have many options!! For example the acer predetor or the overlord isnt available!! Also i want a 2k monitor! And i did a research about TN and IPS and i prefer IPS because im not a hardcore fps gamer and im more into rpg/mmo!!

I totally get what you're saying, but if you check any review of the AOC G-sync from either tech sites or even customer reviews you'll see everyone talk about how nice the colors are which was a huge bonus on top of everything else the screen does.

I've spent hundreds of hours playing RPG's like DA:I and Witcher 3 on this screen and everything looks great, being able to go above 60FPS/HZ is liberating and the motion clarity is just smooth as butter. I actually wasn't expecting colors and blacks to be so good, even after multiple mentions from all the reviews. It's also a TomsHardware favorite.

IPS is cool and pretty much all my other devices have it like phones/tables/work computer so I am aware of how nice they are but if you're a gamer who wants the best without paying through the roof this is your best choice. Still want 2k/3k/4k resolution? Nvidia DSR has you covered. My gamer and non-gamer friends have commented on how nice it looks both inside and outside of games, just my 2 cents/last year of bliss =)
