ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 27" Gaming Monitor 4K UHD 144Hz DP HDMI G-SYNC HDR Aura Sync with Eye Care

There are a number of significant issues. 1. The fan is noisy. Its as loud or louder than my air-cooled desktop. There must be a better way to cool down the hot components that doesnt require this level of noise. 2. THE FAN DOES NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE MONITOR IS TURNED OFF. This is the biggest issue for me. I still cant believe that anyone would think this is acceptable. My gaming setup is in my bedroom - if I want to go to sleep I need to unplug my monitor from the wall socket. How did this never raise a red flag during the design process? Today I realized I take for granted that my electronics turn off when I turn them off. 3. There are at least 2 dead pixels on arrival that I noticed. Something this expensive should have no more than 0. 4. The IPS glow effect hurts my eyes on my black-background desktop. Im more inclined to blame this on IPS technology than the monitor itself, but thought I should mention it for anyone thinking of getting their first IPS monitor. 5. I paid for a new monitor and the packing leads me to believe that is not what I received. My name is not Ken. Asus needs to go back to basics on this one. For a monitor that costs as much as a good gaming desktop, the lack of quality control and the ridiculous decisions surrounding the fan are unforgivable.

Like a few other users here, I too was shipped a display with bad pixels. Buyer beware.

The fan never shuts off. When I turn off the monitor the fan continues to run. Why?!

DO NOT BUY Purchased this monitor at the end of August. Not even two months later my monitor is already displaying stuck pixels. I’ve tried every fix and reached out to ASUS customer support numerous times. They told me since my monitor didn’t display the required amount of stuck/dead pixels, they would not be able to offer a fix/rma/replacement (regardless of the 3 year warranty). A two thousand dollar monitor that is less than two months old shouldn’t display signs of ANY stuck pixels. Please steer clear of this monitor. Don’t make the same mistake I made.

Let me tell you - picture quality and gaming qualities are superb - couldnt ask for more. HDR experience is eye-opening. It would be the perfect monitor and i would not mind every cent i spent on it - but the elephant in the room is the fan noise. Its whining sound is so audible when you are working on it without the headphones! And the absolutely worst part is that it does not stop even when you turn damn thing off! It whines 24/7 so it is no way i can put it anywhere but my living room. I thought there should be some kind of setting to turn it off or some kind of temperature sensor that manages the fan - but no! The only way to stop fan from running is to disconnect the power cord. Come on! I did such a great job with cable management and now i have to plug my display off to get rid of the noise? Well, i guess i will have to buy some sort of smart outlet so i can finally manage that thing without crawling behind the desk.

The monitor is great, but I had originally thought it was defective because I couldnt get it to go to the full refresh rate. I didnt really believe it, but after buying several mDP to DP cables that didnt work, I found one that actually let me get to 144Hz. It still loses sync occasionally, just randomly, and Im not sure if this is a fault of the cable or my laptops display port socket, but 4k at 144Hz is a lot of data to move and its very sensitive about the quality of the connection. Just something to be aware of, YMMV. If youre getting a black screen above 60Hz, try a new DP cable.

Perfect! Pretty much the best word to describe it. Blacks are so deep. Colors pop. Whites are as white can get. Just make sure and get a cat 6 or 7 DP cable. Dont go cheap there. This thing deserves the best. Im 46 yrs old with old eyes kicking in, and this monitor gave my eyes new life. I debated between this one and the Acer version and just trusted the Asus name(Im sure there both great). $2000 is a ton of cash, no doubt, but remember this monitor is basically future proof.

I was concerned that a 4ms monitor IPS monitor would make me play worse than my 1ms TN monitor, but I personally dont notice a difference. Ive tested this with Destiny 2, CS:GO, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege. This truly is a top of the line monitor, and Im always struck with awe with how well the picture looks with 4K HDR. Jumping from 24inches to 27 inches is like stepping into another world. It runs really well with my RTX 2080 @ 1440p and 4k If you dont want to run 4k resolution, games will still look good @ 2560x1440 resolution on this monitor. I guess my only gripe comes from the well known "IPS glow" when a screen is pitch black. Google it to see what I mean. But in all honesty, its not that big of a deal or noticeable when youre playing games with dark areas. If you have the money, this is definitely worth it. Im going to be keeping this for a very long time.

I’m using this monitor for two months. No issues with dead pixels or loud fan like some reviews said. If you have Far Cry 5 game you can enjoy HDR picture. With overclocked monitor to 144 Mhz and 4K settings a picture looks amazing. Even with 30 FPS I don’t see any slowdowns. Check your monitor serial number. After certain digit in serial number you don’t have to upgrade firmware to get nice picture when you overclock to 144 Mhz. Check ASUS site for this info. Also please put "Display port deep sleep" and "HDMI deep sleep" settings to "ON" otherwise a fan in the monitor will constantly spin even if you turn monitor OFF.
