This ultrafast refresh rate lets you play at the highest visual settings and lets you react instantly to what's onscreen — so you'll get that first strike in.
    You can even select your preferred refresh rate with a turbo key to toggle refresh rates on the fly without needing to access the graphics driver control panel.

Lessen the load on your GPU and CPU by setting a cap on the Hz for different games.

    Note:
    1) 2560 x1440 @ 165Hz only works with DP port. The HDMI port only supports 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz.
    2) Only NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 and above graphics card can support 2560 x 1440 up to 165Hz. Please contact the GPU manufacturers for detailed specification.
    Recommended for games which are much slower in pace, such as MOBA games, can be played just fine with lower pace.
    Recommended for games which have a lot of fast motion and hectic action, especially first person shooters.

      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.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

      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!
