3. Select Calibrate Display and follow the setup wizard to create your own display profile.
4. This new profile will also be select-able under devices tab once created following the same steps above starting at Step 5.

OD Settings:

TFT Central -

With OD now turned up to the maximum 'Extreme' setting you can see that the overall response times remained very similar to the 'Normal' setting with some minor improvement. We achieved an average 2.4ms G2G response time here although much larger overshoot was now present. The overdrive impulse is too aggressive in this mode and it is leading to far too much overshoot. In practice there is basically no change to responsiveness, but a noticeable dark trail is now present across many colour transitions. The normal mode seems optimum on this screen, and extreme should probably be avoided.


Enabling Gsync:
Credit - pr1me
GYSNC NO LONGER REQUIRES FULL SCREEN GAMING

Go to the Nvidia control panel > Manage 3D Settings > Global Settings > Scroll down to Vertical Sync and make sure G-Sync is selected.

Most of your games will use global setting and therefor will be using G-sync (you can still add your specific game and check the V-sync line to be sure G-sync is selected)


You can check G-sync is running by looking at the tiny LED light near the power button of the monitor
White = Normal
Yellow = ULMB
Green = 3D Vision
Red = G-Sync (It will show up red only when you're running a 3d game)
Orange = Stand by

 

My 2x Asus swift

Bought in Norway 1 month ago.http://s413.photobucket.com/user/Nizzen/media/Swift.jpg.html

One for the main Pc, and one for the benchtable

 

Rog Swift owner here! Will fill up application and post photos soon!

 

Swifty owner right here. Add me please

 

2 days owning it I decided to keep the other on order. Swift squared.

My unboxing

If you want a swift tshirt go bother Asus here.

 

Still wondering if I should return it to Fry's due to that pixel. It's only noticeable on a black background (shows blue) and when the monitor isn't in ULMB mode.

Other then that this monitor + freedom arm = lots of desk space!

Too bad I don't have a twitter account lol. Just like my Titan shirt I probably would never wear it outside the house

.

 

Can't wait till mine comes from NewEgg Friday!!!

Thats really up to you and how much is it going to bother you knowing that its there after having paid so much for it. My ocd in knowing that its there would make me exchange it which is why I preferred buying locally at frys and even bought the 3 year warranty for no hassle exchanges in case of current or future problems.

 

can you add me? I really cant be bothered to add a picture lol

heres an old one

Yeah I bought the service from Fry's also oddly enough (never do). I'll probably call them tomorrow or something about it and get my new one on hold. I'm somewhat OCD but it's still difficult to find the pixel unless I search for it. I just don't want to experience Bay Area traffic again lol!

The discusion thread contained a few users with stuck pixels and then a ton of people like raging if there monitor wasn't pixel perfect it would be returned. I cant wait to get more people in this club and really see how many even got 1 stuck pixel!

 

I've had this monitor for a couple of days now and notice a a strange issue where a calibration pattern in my browser extends past the browser screen and "leaks" onto my desktop. I've only see it in this one specific case, but if anyone else can try it I would be curious to know if it happens to others.

Go to this link, http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/clock_phase.php then scroll down the page and see if this happens...



Edit: I tried to take a screenshot but the screen looked fine on my other monitor, so I used my cell camera.

Congratulations on getting an order, Newegg sold out in like 8 minutes?? Just saw the forums blow up like 20 pages when it happened!

 

Got mine

 

Guys totally just realized my spelling was wrong! apostrophe wasn't in the right place! Make sure to update your signature for those who took it already! Sorry!

How well is the Freedom arm holding up the monitor? Any sag due to the weight of it? Might purchase one for mine.

 

Just to show that I actually have it for the owner's club, behold my garbage pictures!





Also, for those that want to try a calibration profile for theirs that may or may not work (since all panels are different):

ROGPG278Q8262014iccprofile.zip 241k .zip file
]

Calibrated to 130 cd/m2.

Brightness Settings: 32

Contrast Settings: 45

R: 97

G: 98

B: 98

Done on an X-Rite i1 Display Pro w/ Large Color Set + Pantone Spot Colors-Solid (Large Set).

Yes, mine does the same thing.

 

so jealous right now...shouldn't of cancelled my newegg order... i was expecting it to get here after I would be out of town for labor day weekend so i cancelled it... now that i see yall are already getting it or at least getting it by thursday :-(

stupid newegg and google security thing said it wouldn't ship till wed so i cancelled. booooo... over $800 saved for time being

enjoy the monitors

MAKE SOME VIDEOS!

 

Mine does too, it also does it with the AVS-HD test patterns in "Misc Patterns\D- Resolution"

"2-SingleBlackPixels.mp4" shows it the worst but "1-Checkerboard Pattern.mp4" and "3-Vertical Resolution - 1 Pixel.mp4" exhibit it as well.

I noticed the same effect on the PB287Q* but even more significant and my Overlord X270OC does it too but it looks slightly different.

*Pictures.

 

Finally Official myself !!
