£999???!!

Fucking scalpers, no way I'm paying over MSRP for this monitor, will wait for more monitors to hit the channel until prices come down, otherwise will just go for the Acer, this is insane, your loss Asus :shadedshu:

£719, do you think that means it'll still be $799 over here? That's much better than £999 as rumored above ($1700 at current exchange rates...)

Just pre-ordered via Overclockers UK. Very excited to see how well this monitor performs.

Anyone has these 144Hz monitors? I got my VG248 today and i have a really strange problem with it. If i overclock my GPU and MEM and set the power limit to +20%, i get colorful screen of lockup when running 3D stuff or embedded video. Never had such problems with any other 60Hz display using DVI. Not sure if DisplayPort is causing it or the 144Hz. But something just isn't right. Any idea what might be causing this?

EDIT:
As it turns out, HDMI is limited to 60Hz, normal DVI cables that i have are limited to 60Hz, the dual link DVI that comes with the monitor is ridiculously short, but still doesn't change anything. 144Hz monitor + Radeon 7950 means VERY limited overclocking either on dual link DVI or DisplayPort cable. Bummer. With high performance screen one would expect high performance graphics are a must. Yet you can't have them because overclocking doesn't seem to work. Not cool. tried with Cat 14.4 WHQL and 14.6 RC. Both have same problems.

TFT Central has their review up

TFT Central - Asus ROG Swift PG278Q

For gaming, this is no doubt an excellent screen. Obviously there has to be some sacrifices in some areas, such is the nature of the market. For non-gaming uses the restrictive viewing angles of TN Film panel technology may still be a pain, but colour critical work or photo editing is in no way an intended usage of this model. You are missing other connectivity options, with DisplayPort only being a little limiting. The lack of some options like preset modes and aspect ratio control were also a bit of a shame. The uniformity of our sample was also a little disappointing, but probably not an issue in dynamic content like gaming, and it may well vary from sample to sample as on most screens.
