Or it is DP1.2a compliant, but omits Adaptive Sync. Adaptive Sync is a purely optional part of the specification.Any monitor that supports DP1.2a with the optional Adaptive Sync or DP1.3 should also support FreeSync. So I'm guessing the reason why it wasn't listed by AMD is that ASUS didn't pay AMD for advertising.
Did i see flickering @ 0:44-45 of the video (if you look far at the hill? )
Way to kill my PG278Q. eBay is a calling me!
Guess the old UP3214Q will have to come out of storage to hold me over.
The Swift is still a fantastic monitor and I don't see any mention of G Sync + ULMB on this model. Is having wider viewing angles really worth giving up those up for?
Wonder if they will ruin this with the same grainy matte coating as the PG278Q.
What exactly is that NCX? Do you mind explaining.
I seen couple of times people saying that "grainy matte coating" but, i dont think i understand what exactly that means.
Is it same panel (coating) as i am seeing on BP3201PH?
Thanks
You might get some slightly washed out colors on matte coating, but glossy is just too reflective. I have one of those korean monitors and frankly, day or night, the reflections are just too high that I can see myself in the monitor anytime of the day! It is even worse when you have a keyboard and mouse that emit lights!
At this this point it seems like IPS is just another marketing gimmick.

Hardly.
I use the original swift day-to-day and the colors are worlds apart from even my girlfriend's Qnix.
Let alone a quality IPS panel.
They made this thing for a reason. Back when the ROG Swift was originally announced there was a HUGE share of potential buyers that refused to give it a go just because it is a TN panel.
Asus knows what they are doing, and IPS is most certainly not a "marketing gimmick"
Here's a picture taken with a digital microscope.
A.) Glossy OLED
B.) Matte LCD with a strong coating and
C.) Glossy LCD
But are better color accuracy and viewing angles really more desired for video games than significantly better contrast and blacks?
If we're judging by sales numbers and the general public conception?
Yes, They're worlds more popular.
Something like the 34UM95 was vastly more popular than the 32 inch 1440p Benq.
The TN hate has a lot of hallmarks to a classic cirlejerk, to use a reddit term.
TN panels have a wide variety of quality and the best ones are certainly pretty good, at least if you look at them head-on. The ROG Swift had very good uniformity and more than decent color reproduction. The people in this forum are a niche of a niche(which is why I read this place because I learn stuff every day). But small, tight-knit places do have a habit of developing circle-jerking that just self-perpetuates without thought and by reflex.
As for a gaming monitor, the most important is always speed and lag, everything else is secondary. That's why TN continues to reign supreme. I wouldn't mind seeing IPS displays being at or at least very close to TN in terms of speed. But until we do, let's not kid ourselves what matters.
