ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ 27” 1440p 1ms 165Hz DP HDMI G-SYNC Aura Sync Curved Gaming Monitor with Eye Care

Comment

I highly recommend this monitor for anyone looking for a really good TN panel. It is well-built and has a cool design with the stand. I love the curved screen, but its definitely a preferential thing. The red asus logo that beams down on your desk is cool as well (I just wish I could change the color to anything other than red :p). I didnt have any issues with dead pixels or anything with the unit I received. The colors on the monitor are to be expected with a TN panel, but if you tinker with the settings then you can get it looking amazing. The only downfalls with this monitor are the RGB lightning on the back of the monitor is a joke. I honestly cant even see that anything is even going on back there unless I look behind the monitor. Honestly, not really a big deal for me since I can just get a cheap LED strip for the back of the monitor. Hopefully ASUS makes the lighting better if theyre going to start implementing this on their monitors. If youre really picky then youll notice that this monitor uses some special glossy coating on the screen that you can notice when in windows mainly looking at whites. It honestly doesnt bother me at all, since my last monitor had the same coating on it. Hopefully this review helps someone looking at this monitor. I mainly docked a star for the RGB lightning on the back, because I know for some people that will be a huge deal breaker. Other than that, I love this monitor! Thanks for reading.

Its been weeks that I have been researching for a curved monitor 1440p 144Hz ( OC to 165 Hz ), Nvidia G-sync technology, 27 inch and a fast response time. I decided, after a very long time reading reviews, to buy the Asus Rog Swift PG27VQ curved monitor. It did arrive today. No dead pixels, no backlighting. A lot of users found this monitor to have washed out colors and in this regard, out of the box, it did not look too bad. However, I decided to tweak some settings, especially the contrast and brightness and to make it look better, I decided to use Nvidia color settings which allowed me to increase saturation. Honestly, after doing that, I find this monitor to have a very good color rendition and far away from washed out as a lot of users have addressed. Its been only a few hours testing it and I will update this review as the days goes by and testing it with a lot of games. Assassin Creed Odyssey looks awesome and Fallout4 is looks also great. This monitor excel in the response time. It is very smooth and I have it at 165 Hz setup. Perhaps I was lucky to receive a very good copy but again, I have not seen any dead pixels, no backlighting ( I tested it with the screen completely dark ) and regarding the colors, well, I cannot complain at all. Colors are if not excellent, very close to that rating. I am a photographer and I like my pictures to be sharp and colorful and I am very picky about resolution, so I can say that I am very happy so far with this monitor. The curvature of it, makes my game more immersive, so to finish this up, if you want to have all the specs this monitor offers, go for it. My previous monitor was the Viewsonic 27 inch IPS 1440p 144 ( 165 Hz ) and comparing both side by side, it is very narrow the difference between them. So I am giving it a 5 star review. Honestly I had a bias about it and if it did not satisfy me, I would have return it tomorrow but I am happy I was wrong.

Reviewing the ROG Swift PG27VQ I received the box yesterday, the mail lady threw it at my feet unaware of its contents, Fortunatly the monitor wasnt damaged, to my knowledge. The screen has a weird oily look, and had some yellow screen profiles activated. After tweaking the settings, it looks great. Some slight screen flickering, even after checking the DP connection a few times. The refresh rate is.. refreshing, clean and great colors. The monitor is very aesthetically attractive. Will update in two weeks.

I bought 2 cheaper monitors, and both of them failed within 1 week. These are more expensive but the metal quality, lighting, and generally everything was worth the price difference. On the back of this monitor is a joystick type button, its super convenient to navigate the monitor menu. I am running a Nvidia 970 and Nvidia 980TI, both are smooth with high fps in my games. Games playing: Witcher 3, Warhammer Total War, Warcraft, etc. When I play games I use the nvidia experience to adjust to optimal settings for my video card.

This thing is so expensive it really hurts but the curved screen, fast response time, and overall fit and finish are fantastic. Works exceptionally well for the paced games as long as you have a really monster gaming pc to consistently be over a hundred frames a second in 1440p. If you arent running to of the line graphics cards then you can get away with a lower refresh rate and save yourself a lot of money.

Really a joy. I am playing Alien Isolation with Helix Mod fix and Taa antialiasing now - it is wonderful, what a pleasure. I have a vive, and really like vr too - but seriously - Nothing beats 3d vision on this monitor.

Got the PG27VQ and so far I love it. No dead pixels and quality of monitor is very nice. Set to user mode R 81 G 83 B 100. I have Brightness 61 and Contrast 63 and Gamma 2.2. I have the Blue Light Filter on Level 0. Also Overclocked 165Hz. I am wondering about the best settings for Brightness, Contrast and Gamma. Not sure if what I have is the best. Also I need to figure out the best setup and settings for the Nvidia Control Panel to get the most out of this beast. Overall I am very happy with this monitor. I mainly use it for FPS gaming. Like PUBG, COD, Battlefield and so on. The games, FPS and response time are amazing. I would recommend this to anyone.

Viewing angles are horrible even for a TN panel, and its got this awful film over the screen to prevent glare, but that film also reflects light back making white backgrounds on the screen look incredibly blotchy. Overall picture quality is just garbage. Get a IPS panel. The difference between 1ms and 4ms is not even noticeable.

Great image quality with no dead pixels whatsoever. The high refresh rate and overclockable 165hz is a plus. The aurora lights arent bright and obnoxious. The monitor is mountable and the stand it comes with is removable and the legs are a nice solid metal build. The buttons on the right back side of the monitor and the mini analog stick makes it easy to navigate through the menu options with. Super smooth gaming sessions and the colors this monitor puts out are vibrant and bright and the 2k resolution 2560x1440p is a big upgrade and difference from 1920x1080p. The ASUS ROG Swift PG27VQ is on the left and my old monitor is on the right, Which is also the smaller one which is 1080p at 60hz refresh rate.

This monitor is by far the nicest monitor i have owned thus far. Would give it a 5 star but the price is pretty steep, custom crosshairs were obviously not designed by a gamer, and the monitors presets are not the best but arnt terrible either. 1440p is a nice step up from 1080 if you have the graphics card to handle it. 165hz....not many games are gonna be running 165 fps besides counter strike go. 144hz gsync is like butter though
