No. ASUS, I'm not buying your overpriced hardware. I'll wait for the AOC gsync monitor, thank you very much.

Screw the AOC. Get this one:

will be out around the same time anyway...

Ye, its 1080p on 27"; but its BIG and CHEAP, and has REAL 8bit color just like the Asus one. The AOC 24" has 6bit+bullshit color.

Yep, indeed. Looks to be the better monitor. "£367.99 inc VAT". That's $620, which is somewhat reasonable. Still expensive, but reasonable considering how new G-Sync is. I'm NOT gonna pay $1074 for the ASUS just because ASUS think they can rip-off people in the EU For this $400 difference, I could buy an additional GTX780 instead...

I'll believe it when I see it. That comment is getting deleted. It'll be $799.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yes I agree, that price is too good to be true. Even as a person that lives in the US, I think it's messed up that they are over charging for this monitor in other regions. Could it be the vendors that are charging higher fees for this monitor because of the demand? I doubt Amazon and NewEgg will sell this monitor above the MSRP. (be it $649 or $799)

I'm sure Amazon itself will sell it for MSRP and it will sellout right away. Then all that will be left in stock will be sold by the 3rd party vendors through amazon that will sell for ridiculous markup. That is what has happened with other monitor's I've bought there at launch.

Ye you cant do a correct currency conversion for tech like that...

In reality in EU that acer27" will cost like 400eur MAX,
in US - 500$,
in britain - 370pounds apparently

In Europe everything is just more expensive.

MSRPs are nearly always defined in a per-country/region basis. Can't just covert a price from one currency to another and assume that's what you'll pay

So chief, you cant even post up your review of your ROG until mid august? You mentioned there was a unit inbound to you some time ago, and I can only assume that you have it and are doing amazing things with it.

So, question about a testing method. On the VG248QE you did a test with CS:GO about how there was greatly reduced lag when you limited the FPS of the engine to below the refresh rate limit of the monitor.

So I have always been using G Sync with fps_max 140 or 143, just something less than 144. Any chance you can test that? I dont like ULMB too much, I like the smooth picture more than anything else. I just dont want lag either.

I would also love to see the test repeated for Battlefield 4, using the engines internal frame cap. That would be very valuable information to me, as a Battlefield 4 player

Ya know.. if they're taking requests

Got my ROG SWIFT!
I'll be testing a bit over the next days.
