Asus has announced a new monitor to the gaming-players. It will be offered through the ROG brand (Republic Of Gamers).

Named Swift PG278Q, this monitor offers a diagonal screen of 27 inches, a WQHD definition (2560 x 1440 pixels), a refresh rate of 60, 120 or 144 Hz and a response time of 1 millisecond. The connection is made by DisplayPort, while setting requires a small joystick to five choices for a setting with one hand on an on-screen menu.

It also takes advantage of a very fine edge, 6 mm to be precise, leaving the multihead considering in good condition, and comes with a foot allowing tilt forward/backward, right/left rotation.
