    ASUS PG279Q 144hz 1440P IPS G-Sync

    Sounds really nice, but I will be very catious personally. IPS does not automaticly mean better then TN. I'm just wondering what a IPS Swift would offer to me, if I don't care about viewing angles. They can still screw up the coating, but I have a feeling they will go for a less...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Ye I will go with the october version. It has an almost 99% perfect black uniformity, one of the best i've seen. Don't care much about AC Unity with Witcher 3 coming soon anyway.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Ok so don't ask me how, but I got 2 Swifts here atm. One from October 2014 and one from December 2014. Both no backlight bleed or dead pixels. Seems both look identical, except October may have a slightly better black colour uniformity when screen is completely black. The december version is...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    For me personally, Acer is not an option. And hell yes the Swift looks sexy as hell. Btw peepz, I see 2 different build numbers across the internet for the RoG Swift. They all start with manufacturers number of 90LM00U0, and then either -B013L0 or -B01370. Anyone know the difference, and why...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Well Elvn, I myself am big user of backlight strobe effects such as lightboost, and currently ULMB. At 1080p its definitely viable to run all games at 120+ fps even in AAA games assuming one has a beefy SLI setup for it. With 1440p on the other hand you do trade a little motion clarity and use...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Using DSR to 1440p on my current 24'' makes text extremely small, but I'm assuming that is not representative of how it actually looks? With your old XL2420T, how would you compare 1440p 2xAA with 1080p 4xAA? The higher resolution and perfomance loss should compensate for allowing less AA...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    The stand of my BenQ XL2420G seems to be around the same I think, but I have it leaning slightly over my desk to the back of the wall by 1.5 inches or so, and my desk has a reach of around 27 inches. Not sure how accurate I measured, but I converted it from centimeters wich I normally use. I...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Anyone know the measurements from the back of the ''foot/stand'' up till the front where the screen is? I need to know this so I can determine how far I can sit from this screen's 27'' size, and how far I can place the monitor to the back untill the stand blocks the wall on my desk.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    At this price margin, I will purchase an extra pixel warranty anyway, any dead pixel and I can send it away and get a new one no qeustions asked. Its the other things that concern me. And really, do these panels differ so much in their gamma? I did not even know that was a thing with panels...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Its going to be either this RoG Swift G-Sync with 2 Way SLI 980 Ti 6GB... or 2x Crossfire 390X with a RoG Dominator Free-Sync this summer for me. I want the Swift really badly tbh, but I'm just very concerned with the overwhelmingly negative user reviews. I completely chickened out from...

    NVIDIA Readying GM200-based GeForce GTX 980 Ti

    I don't mod, just OC is all, and no watercooling, all on air. But ye not sure if my V750S would cut it. I've totally developed a PSU tinfoil paranoia... guess I should go ahead and order that Corsair HX1000i or EVGA 1000W Supernova G2 in preperation for these new cards to come. Or... I could...

    NVIDIA Readying GM200-based GeForce GTX 980 Ti

    I'm hoping the 980TI won't be as power consuming as the Titan X. Anyone know if my Cooler Master V750S Gold will up to the task to SLI these babies? 599w minimum and 649w recommended by eXtreme PSU calculator... that is if the 980TI equals to the 780TI TDP wise. I hope at least they release a...

    Poor screen uniformity, RMA?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Didn't think of it that way, you're totally right. I do always sit in dark room, guess I was so used to it. The antec lightning product info says 51 inch though, and my monitor is 24 inch. But seems such a thing could definitely come in handy when behind my desk...

    Poor screen uniformity, RMA?

    So I have the BenQ XL2420G, and it seems I have a case of poor screen uniformity, specifically during a black background. During black wallpaper: Complete black levels: So, how bad is it, and should I send it for repair/rma to try and get a better one? EDIT: Screenshots make it look worse...
