I can't decide between the rog swift and the Asus PB278Q , Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM. PC gamer problems.

There's a user here who swears by IPS monitors. Maybe it was duplissi... I would kill for the Swift... Isn't like $800? Christ... You could buy two high-end cards for that much. This one's for a buddy with a lot of spare change. |

Yes, it is $800, and well worth it. The reason is simple. It offers things you simply cannot find in any other product. Hopefully they'll get some competition soon. For my sake. |

Looking forward to UT4, I want that style of shooter back, I'm tired of military shooters. Wish this was being done with Quake also. I know Quake Live is coming to Steam, but I want an 'updated' Quake.

Yes, it is $800, and well worth it. The reason is simple. It offers things you simply cannot find in any other product. There are 4K TN g-sync panels coming out...but they are 60Hz over DisplayPort. I don't know about you, but at 27 inches, I will take 1440p/120fps over 4K/60fps, especially since the latter requires a lot more horsepower for the most part. As far as the IPS debacle, I mean, you cannot get an IPS monitor that can do any of this. There is a relevant Tom's Hardware review of the PG278Q you can look up, and you'll see the monitor performs pretty well for a TN panel. The important thing here is that it maintains good visual fidelity while also having an excellent response time. If you swear by IPSes for gaming, you'll have to wait quite some time and likely dish out well over 800. I'm not willing to wait because I do not care all that much about viewing angles, especially not when the ability to position this monitor is as good as it is. The price is insane over here in the UK £720 or $1200 which is holding me back :/ |

This one's for a buddy with a lot of spare change. Yeah, I love IPS panels for gaming. I don't play competitively so having a high refresh rate is less important than having accurate and vibrant colors, and good viewing angles. I hate how TN panels have that gamma shift when you aren't looking at them right on. It gets worse with larger screens too. Personally I'm hoping for a IPS (Or IPS comparable tech) 1440p, 21:9, 120+hz, with DP 1.2a (For Freesync). I will probably have to wait a while for that. Right now I'm waiting on the correct waterblock for my GPU, and later this year/early next I am upgrading to a X99 motherboard and a i7 5820K. Like this one with a higher refresh rate: |

If my monitor is anything to go by (which is a 1080p ultrawide from LG), it is a damn good monitor. Worth 1300 dollars?... nope. But when it comes down in price? yeah. |

I was looking at the 3440 x 1440 actually. I'd like an ultrawide if I had the hardware to run games on it. I also imagine it's annoying to put in a car. My 27-inch takes up enough space as it is. |

They say each time you buy a GPU you should move up a tier at least. So I'll be looking at a GTX 770/870 or an R9 280x soon. |

Some of us should find a good coop game or something. I've barely played anything with any of you guys, at least I haven't for a while.
