ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has revealed the 27-inch WQHD display Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor, it will feature 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time to cater to the high demand of better graphical performance of today’s high-end video games. It promises more gamer-centric features for improved gameplay experience, this includes the NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ Technology for smooth, fluid visuals, as well as exquisite and ergonomic design touches.

The world’s first and only WQHD G-SYNC fast gaming monitor

Designed especially for gamers, the ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor features a 27-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440 panel with a pixel density of 109 pixels per inch (PPI). The use of a WQHD panel gives it four times (4X) the resolution of 720p for sharper images, and provides 77% more screen workspace than similarly-sized 1080p displays.

The PG278Q is ideal for today’s fast-paced games and delivers fluid visuals thanks to a 144Hz refresh rate and rapid 1ms response time. Users have the option of selecting their preferred refresh rates, with the exclusive Turbo key for one-click switching between 60Hz, 120Hz or 144Hz display modes.

The PG278Q has built-in NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to deliver the smoothest, fastest and most breathtaking gaming visuals imaginable. G-SYNC synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the GPU in a NVIDIA® GeForce®® GTX™-powered PC, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input lag.

ASUS-exclusive gameplay features and advanced connectivity

The ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor features the ASUS-exclusive GamePlus hotkey with crosshair overlay and timer functions. The former gives gamers a choice of four different crosshairs to suit their gaming environment, while the latter provides an on-screen timer to help keep track of spawn and build times. An intuitive 5-way navigation joystick provides quick and easy access to OSD settings, allowing users to switch display parameters with a flick of a finger. The PG278Q is designed for marathon gaming sessions, with a smart air vent design that aids in dissipating heat to keep things cool, even after hours of use.

The ROG Swift PG278Q Gaming Monitor includes DisplayPort 1.2 for native WQHD output and two USB 3.0 ports for convenient pass-through connectivity.

 

ROG-inspired, ergonomic design

Aesthetically, the ROG Swift PG278Q uses bold, precise lines to give it an air of durability and reliability. It features a base adorned with an intricate and enigmatic design that is fully-illuminated with a special LED Light-in-Motion feature.

The PG278Q features a slim profile and a super-narrow 6mm bezel that make it ideal for almost-seamless multi-display setups. An ergonomically-designed stand with tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment gives users a comfortable and ideal viewing position for long marathon gaming sessions. A cable-management design feature found on the back of the monitor lets users keep their gaming rigs tidy and free from tangled wires.
