World's First WQHD 1440p G-Sync Gaming Monitor: ASUS ROG PG278Q (Hands On)

2014-01-09
hey folks I work with TECA tomorrow with Nick of Asus once again showing you more of their technology now I don't know if you guys know what's going on out there but in videos come up with this new g-sync technology now this g-sync technology actually locks your frame rates from your video card to your monitor now gamers out there you all know that when you lose frame rates and everything that's when you get blur that's when you get lag now with these new products that they have you're going to be eliminating that 100% I do want to mention though that it does require your video card so if you have a really powerful video card obviously you're going to get better frame rates and if you're using a lower end video card but the beauty of that is that you'll get the full benefit of it though if you don't lose any frame rates from either end you're gonna kick ass so now I'm gonna hand the microphone over to Nick stop babbling let him tell us about these new products sure so exactly like you said this is our first g-sync monitor that we're gonna release a lot of the ones that haven't been announced this week are all been 1080p this is gonna be the world's first wqhd desync monitors so this is 2560 by 1440 resolution does it hit the gamer g-spot it does yet a 1 millisecond response time you have up to 144 Hertz refresh rate and the really great thing about this it's gonna be available in April for $7.99 and talk about the resolution yes yeah that's that's the biggest that's the biggest deal is Nvidia had their in their press event they showed off all their g6 monitors except for this one because this is the world's first wqhd the 2560 but it's a bad boy right and this is what we want to do and Bill so as you can see this is our first ROG monitor we have some RG branding here in the bottom corner we kept the front very clean very thin bezel and then the back if we can maybe turn it around a little bit you can see that we have the ROG styling so on the bottom you get the coloring the coloring and on the back it's kind of the same kind of stealth jet styling that maybe some of the ROG laptops have now I always think this is like supposed to be like is it Ferrari or like a Lamborghini kind of style I don't know I we might do my text aways all regular Mike hey that's for Isaac no it's Lamborghini but you guys can see this thing's really thin it's really light and at 2560 by 14 40 gaming does take on a new aspect if you've got a monitor that's going to fully support that you're going to see that in your gaming says products enemy coming to market like Nick said about $800 so when it first comes on it's gonna be a bit pricey but you guys expect that you get high end you pay high end prices but actually shouldn't be very much more than the 1080p solutions which I've seen prices have been announced in the six to seven oh yeah for sure I've seen them to go from 1080p to wqhd at $7.99 should be a pretty good proposition yeah I'm definitely going to be getting one for myself because when you're playing a game and you're losing stuff especially doing with the 3d glasses having your frame rates locked in is going to be very very important I myself personally can't wait to get my hands on one and do some testing so let's us know folks what you guys think I know you guys have like written it before it said all the G King thing it's way too expensive but really think about it don't think about it from the money perspective think about it from the gamers perspective and as a technology matures it's going to get cheaper so eventually you'll be able to afford it so I'm Eric this is Nick from a Zeus we'll see you guys back here on tech you tomorrow with more text amazes very soon
