I picked up an open box Asus ROG PG279Q on Amazon warehouse. Don't want to jinx it but so far. No dead pixels, all physicals perfeft and it runs really well. I definitely got a very blue green panel. I cut the brightness to 20 and hit rgb to 95 75 75 and ran a spider colour calibration. Its bluer than my Acer for sure but the edge glow is not even noticeable. I think brightness 100 is way OP.  I have to agree the smoothness vs 60Hz is astounding. And £200 cheaper from warehouse. Full warranty.

Cheers Albert, I've decided to give the warehouse thing a crack, fingers crossed.

Also, nice setup Milli

There are lots of varying quality/ state of damage levels. I chose like new comes in original packing prime delivery. So I expect one just had a damaged box or missing cable as the casing is immaculate.

Can't vouch for any state lower. Came from a warehouse in Poland.

Heh thanks, Still to RGB it up like a unicorns hen do, but it's getting there [emoji23]

Glad you got one Albert and it's good quality, as I said - it does suffer from.some bleed but of nothing that would make me not buy it.

get that mug a coaster!

I don't have a new game that gets 165Hz... So just kept it at 144. Would like to know other folks settings. Seems the setup is based on the racing profile then adjust brightness and RGB to suit. I saw a few 100 saturation setups that look interesting but way OTT colour wise.

My base is covered in junk already, no lights on.

Cost me â,¬600 down from â,¬870 via warehouse.

Added some bits on panel type and more detail on freesync/gsync vs gsync.

If anyone is still using a 60Hz panel... why !?

[RizZy]

I'm still on 60Hz, I have no excuse to offer :vsorry:

Now that I've switched to 144hz (and no longer have a faulty panel) I'm exceptionally glad that I did!
