ASUS today rolled out the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Swift PG27VQ curved gaming monitor. This 27-inch monitor with an 1800R curved TN-film panel, offers a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Bolstering its gaming credentials are a high refresh-rate of 165 Hz, response time as low as 1 ms (GTG), and support for NVIDIA G-SYNC technology. If the 16.8 million colors put out from the display panel itself aren't "RGB lit" enough for you, the monitor features RGB LED elements illuminating a motif behind the panel, and below the monitor stand's pivot; which can be controlled using ASUS Aura Sync RGB software.

Besides putting up a show, the RGB LED elements can be made to work as ambient lighting, which adapts to the display. The GamePlus technology lets you draw OSD crosshairs and frame-rate counter; and GameVisual, which are display presets for various genres of games (FPS, RTS, RPG, etc.). Other key panel specifications include 400 cd/m² maximum brightness, 170°/160° viewing angles, and dynamic mega-contrast ratio. Display inputs include DisplayPort 1.2 (needed for G-SYNC), and HDMI 1.4 (lower than standard refresh rate). The stand offers basic tilt adjustments. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Trying to figure out what exactly is new or different than before? Couldn't believe the first TN of its kind. Is it just all the new RGB and bling?
 
why the hell do you need a curve on a 27" 16:9 monitor ?
 
Ridiculously Overpriced Gear
 
Release date for SALE?
 
The thing(s) that makes this "different" as to the PG278QR as a direct comparison/upgrade from:

1. An 1800R curved TN-film panel
2. Q-Dot panel*
3. 400 cd/m² maximum brightness vs. 350 cd/m2
4. 16.8 million colors vs. 16.7 million colors
5. GamePlus technology vs. none for the PG278QR
6. RGB

*https://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27VQ/overview/ No mention of Q-dot technology in the overview OR specs that I could see... Strange.

I read somewhere that Q-dot technology would be in the PG27VQR version of this monitor.
