The price is around what I expected. Due to VG278Q still available largely at current market. Hope they giv a good bundle during launch, totally gonna get it
Went for VG279Q. FHD, IPS, 144Hz.Resellers dropped the price to S$616 on the last day of the IT show. Price is still steep but I took the plunge and decided to pay the Asus tax and early-adopters tax.
Had been using it for one evening. Besides the low pixel density, everything else is great. No regrets.
Color-wise, it looked good out of the box. The “game-more” settings are bs to me. I copied a calibrated settings that I got from Reddit and it looked better.
For my games, it looks buttery smooth. However, there’s some “perceived” motion stuttering when I’m watching videos.
I have yet investigate the cause of it. Note, that I’m connecting this via HDMI with my MSI laptop. I’ve not purchased a mini display port to display port cable to test my lappy’a display port. Maybe I’m sitting too close. Maybd it’s the video player’s software configuration. Maybe.
I’ll evaluate the result again once my gaming rig arrives.
As for the free “gaming headset” that comes with the purchase. It’s a Asus Cerberus Cyber Cafe edition headset.
Heh. I won’t be bothered to open the package. Off it goes to carousel!
I hope You guys get a better deal here in Malaysia.
