    Hefty Price for a solid product
    The unit I got is pixel perfect and worked with little to no setup with my graphics cards.(got mine straight from amazon warehouse)I got one from one of the more RECENT batches that came in around Jan. 4,so maybe they have resolved whatever QC issues were going on with this monitor.Beautiful screen.Put it side by side with my vs-278Q (which is a 27" 1080p IPS panel) and this monitor looks amazing.Colors are a little faded in comparison, but still beautiful, and the higher resolution more than makes up for it.Comes in an enormous boxI will do an update later to let anyone interested know how this unit holds up over time.Update:5 Months later this monitor still has me geeking out about how pretty and smooth it is. Its holding up well with 10 hours of use a day or more. I haven't had any more backlight bleed than I have had with any other LCD (monitors and TVs), nor does this monitor get any hotter than other LCDs I own. I think the reason people are noticing the heat of the backlight is because of the thin bezel on this monitor.I've been reading all of the concerning reviews on this product that are here on amazon, and it seems like most have responses from asus customer support, so I don't understand why people think asus isn't standing behind this monitor.If you have an issue with the product it is covered by a 3 YEAR WARRANTY. Need I say more? Asus stands fully behind their products.It is an $800 monitor... ok... so what. It is 27" and 1440p with a 144hz refresh rate and a g-sync module. Not to mention it fits into a very niche market. If you buy a 27" 1440p panel that would cost $450, and if you buy a 27" 144hz panel that will also cost around $400. Then if you want either of those features with g-sync you can add another $200 to the cost of the panel. This monitor is currently $750 and it includes all of those features in one package, so you could argue this is a bargain.It's going to have the same issues every other monitor has with defects (like dead pixels) and possibly more due to the fact this is the first to be released with such serious hardware to manage the pixel clocks necessary to keep this panel stable.I love mine and everyone who sees it is seriously impressed with it I wouldn't hesitate to buy more if I had the need.Side Note: To fully utilize this monitor I would have to recommend no less than a dual gpu computer with SLI 970s at the very least. I have SLI 780 tis and they still chug hard to feed this beast (overclocked around 1150Mhz). I get in the low 50fps range for Witcher 3 and depending on the BF4 map I get 90-144fps on medium settings. This monitor basically doubles the load on your GPUs, however when you are running at 1440p everything looks so much clearer, and while medium textures may look pixelated from 1 foot away when you look at them from 5 ft or more in 1440p its pretty outstanding. I have a cheap 39" 4k tv (cost me $340) and to put the clarity of this monitor in perspective 1440p at 27" is the same pixel density as my 4k tv. So imagine 4k tv, but smaller and insanely smooth.

    UPDATED REVIEW: 2/11/16
    I received my new ROG Swift on 1/29/16. The return and refund from BuyVPC was fast and easy, and in fact I purchased the replacement from them as well. This time everything worked as it should, no dead or stuck pixels, this monitor is amazing! It looks gorgeous, the adjustment for height, tilt and swivel are remarkably smooth and the controls for on screen setup are placed comfortably. The set up menu is easy to navigate and the controls are simple. Everything looks fantastic on this screen. Now the primary reason I bought this monitor is for gaming and that is certainly where it really shines. After having it for only about two weeks now, I've put in some serious hours of gaming with it and now that I've experienced G-Sync I don't think I could ever go back to a monitor without it. I could blather on about how awesome this monitor is, but it simply does everything is says it can do as advertised. It's a shame really that it's possible to receive on that's defective, but that goes for any electronics. Even though I had to return the initial purchase, I do not regret my decision to buy one bit. Yes, it was disheartening to have to problems with the first one, but in the end it's totally worth it. The ROG Swift lived up to all my expectations.

    OLD 1/20/16:
    I just received my ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q monitor today, and it's a bust. The entire left side of the screen either has vertical lines or some crazy color banding (see pics). I was aware of the issues this monitor is prone to having, although plenty of users have no issues so I went for it. I started my return request today so I can exchange for another (hopefully working panel). Everything I've seen and read about the Rog Swift was enough for me to forgo my caution. In general I love Asus products and have been using there motherboards, graphics cards (just got the strix 980ti to go with this monitor too, thankfully it worked out of the box as expected, its a beast) and monitors trouble free for years. this is the first time I've gotten a dud, hence the 1 star which I'll happily change once I get a working Swift.
    On a side note, Ive never actually had to rma anything since first pc build back in 2004 so this will be a new experience. Guess my luck finally ran out lol. But after going through the steps provided all I got was a return/refund option? Still have to wait on the approval from the seller. I don't actually want a refund, I want to return this one in exchange for another working monitor. Guess I'll have to see what options I'm given when I hear from the seller. I'm not sure how this process actually works. Will update my review when I get it replaced.
