Abstract: Gaming monitor technology took a significant step forward when Nvidia revealed G-Sync technology last year. Asus is the first monitor manufacturer to roll out G-Sync on a 27in, 2,560x1,440 resolution screen. Continuing the firsts, the Swift PG287Q is the ...
Super smooth motion at the highest settings, well thought out interface system – we love the nipple/joystick system, build quality, strongest, most versatile monitor stand system we have seen, very good ‘out of the box' setup
The cost will be too prohibitive for many, AMD users will need to buy Nvidia hardware to take advantage of GSYNC, Be prepared to invest in expensive graphics hardware if you want consistent 100frame rates at 1440p in the latest DX11 games, Only $799 in Am
The Asus Republic Of Gamers Swift PG278Q 144hz G-Sync is one of the best all round monitors we have tested in a very long time. Nvidia's G-SYNC is a very welcome addition and in real world terms it helps removes any sign of tearing and stuttering.We have ...

Overall, though the ROG Swift PG278QR impressed, it is difficult to distinguish its performance from that of another G-Sync display, the ViewSonic XG2703-GS. Since they both have the same resolution and refresh rate, the biggest difference between the two...
Nvidia Gsync, High refresh rate, Great colour contrast.
Works with few GPUs, Expensive, Gsync is difficult to set up
If you have a giant budget for your gaming monitor needs, and don't want a 4K monitor for some reason, the Swift PG278Q will definitely be great. It has almost every feature a gamer could want in a monitor, including a couple of USB pass-through ports for...
If money is no object, and you happen to be running a system equipped with an NVIDIA GTX 650Ti or above, this is the monitor to go for, if you don't mind the lack of multiple device support.(previously published in issue September 2014)...

No-frill design with generous air vents for better head dissipation, Almost non-existent matte-black bezels, Offers various monitor adjustments (Tilt, Swivel, Pivot, Height), 27-inch with WQHD hits the sweet spot between size and resolution, High Refresh
about it, Premium price tag ($799 or Php45,000), Viewing angles are not that great, Color reproduction and Contrast is good, but not at par with other panels, Only has one (1) video port, G-SYNC is only limited to NVidia Graphics cards (sorry AMD users),
We said it once and we'll say it again; the ASUS RoG Swift PG278Q is the best gaming monitor in the market. It's the perfect marriage between outstanding design and innovative display technology, one that will truly complement your high-end gaming rig.The...
Abstract: A recent trend in gaming monitors is their support for variable refresh rate technologies such as Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync.Displays with these features are able to reduce stutter and screen tearing in video games when used with a compatible graphics...
Abstract: Our sister site Hardware Zone has done a review of the excellent ASUS Swifth ROG PG278Q monitor some time back here. Along with was mentioned was that G-SYNC is hard to truly appreciate simply from reading a review, so my focus here is to let you underst...
Abstract: We mentioned before that manufacturers are targeting small form factor PCs and Mini-PCs as an area of growth and ASUS has gone ahead and launched not one but three small form factor/Mini-PCs today, targeting at different user groups. For gamers there is t...
Incorporates GSync technology, Easy to use controls and OSD, Wellengineered stand, Thin bezel, Fast and responsive pixels
Only a single MiniDP input, Out of box color accuracy only decent, GSync only works with NVIDIA GPUs, Very pricey and it's not a 4K screen
The ASUS ROG Swift RG278 combines cutting-edge monitor technologies in a sleek and attractive design. The light up base might not be to everyone's tastes, but you cannot argue against its slim design and those thin bezels. The stand is also very well engi...
