Whoa. I decided on a 980Ti and that new Acer yesteday, but this changes things now. It depends where they price this at. It better not be more than $100 over the Acer.
I have the Acer XB270HU on back order. I really really hope this Asus comes to market soon as I'd much rather have an Asus with matte bezels than the shiny Acer, not to mention all the QC issues of the Acer. If anyone is at computex right now, can you please ask the Asus guys about pricing and release date?
As far as price goes, they're going to have a hard time putting it higher than the $799 that the Acer XB270HU is going for, even though they're replacing the TN Swift it seems.

I'm expecting it to be priced higher than the XB270HU (although I wish/hope it isn't). Here the TN Swift is only ÂŁ80 cheaper than the XB270HU, unless Asus drop the TN price I can't see them pricing the IPS model so closely. Everybody who was eyeing the XB270HU will be waiting for this monitor thanks to the atrocious QC from Acer's initial batches.

The only question that remains is "when"
I waited enough time as it is for the acer, only to find out about it's QC. I hope it gets released within this month. Currently i'm on my 3rd acer and the return period ends in luke 3 weeks.

I don't know how long it took from announcing the first Swift to it being on sale but I remember people tracking the boat with the first shipment for a month
Wasn't the ROG Swift plagued with issues and nearly impossible to get replacements? I love how everyone's bashing the Acer monitor for their QC when the maker of this panel had plenty of issues of their own with the TN Swift.
Since no GSync module exists that uses HDMI we can be certain that only the DP input will use the good features of the monitor. That, or they convert the HDMI to DP internally which ads lag and thus is still unacceptable

You're right, but atleast this is another chance at a manufacturer getting 1440p 144Hz IPS G-Sync right and more competition and choice is better for everyone.

I am in no way saying that's a bad thing. Competition creates better products and better pricing. What I am saying is that anyone trashing the Acer monitor QC in favor of an ASUS counterpart for a better chance at a defect free panel is a hypocrite.
The HDMI port is great for me. I know it won't work with Gsync, but for my second rig (non gaming rig), is a plus.
