ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q AND PG27AQ GAMING MONITORS

In 2008, Asus accidentally found itself the leader of the market for the fighting game community with its legendary Asus VH236, also known as the “EVO monitor.” It earned this rep by being the monitor of choice for the Evolution Championship Series world fighting game competition when the fighting game community needed a low input lag solution during the transition from CRT to flatscreen displays.
Asus has obviously taken advantage of that legacy and seems to be putting more emphasis on gaming monitors. During the Republic of Gamers event, the company announced two new displays: The ROG Swift PG279Q and the ROG Swift PG27AQ.
Asus didn’t say much, if anything, about these two products. We do know their specs. Both SKUs feature 27-inch panels and take advantage of Nvidia’s G-Sync tech, which is the cool name given to technology that tries to eliminate screen tearing.
To keep a complicated explanation as short and sweet as possible, screen-tearing is a situation where the image pipeline has the monitor trying to display two frames at once and the image appears to have pieces that don’t line up properly on the screen.
