ASUS Swift ROG PG278 G-Sync monitor: This is a gamer's dream display!

The new ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync monitor boasts impressive specifications such as a speedy 1ms response time and ultra-fast 144Hz refresh rates, and supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and 3D Vision technologies. Could this be the ultimate gaming monitor?

Incorporates G-Sync technology ; Easy to use controls and OSD ; Well-engineered stand ; Thin bezel ; Fast and responsive pixels

Only a single Mini-DP input ; Out of box color accuracy only decent ; G-Sync only works with NVIDIA GPUs ; Very pricey and it's not a 4K screen
