      Fantastic 1440p monitor

      I have had many gaming monitors and the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q is hands down the best of all of them. I now own three and run Nvidia surround. The PG279Q 1440p 144hz beats the PG27AQ 4k 60hz because the 4k is capped at 60hz which is very noticable. I will never run less than 120hz again and I prefer 144hz. After a year with a 4k monitor a can say the 4k picture is better but the responsiveness of 144hz is far better. The quality in both the PG27AQ and all three of my PG279Qs are unparalleled. I highly recommend them.

      I love the size and maneuverability of the screen, able to turn clockwise and left and right very easily while still sturdy, and I also love the lights. Wish it had Aura Sync but since it's an older monitor, it's understandable. Still with there could be an update involved since my other devices now don't sync up. Otherwise, it's one of the best monitors I've used!
