Wish they'd release a panel in the style of the PB278QR but with G-Sync, I prefer the more minimalistic look on monitors TBH.
ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q 144hz 2560x1440 IPS G-Sync.

It seems DP 1.3 is the big hold up... and GPU power. I honestly thought we'd see ultra wide 1440p @120/144Hz this year, but clearly we won't now. I suspect that's at least a year away once DP 1.3 is out and GPU's actually support it. Even if it were out now, you'd be lucky to get over 100fps in the AAA games anyway (unless you have some kind of uber triple SLI 980Ti set-up), rendering anything above 100Hz somewhat pointless. It actually makes an argument for the Acer Predator XR341CK, but I think that's wayyy too expensive for what it is (circa £1000 by most accounts).
For the foreseeable future, I think 1440p at 144Hz with G-Sync/Freesync is going to be the sweetspot. Pair that with a quality IPS screen in the likes of the PG279Q with minimal IPS glow and no serious bleed issues (this is ESSENTIAL), and you'll have many happy gamers and professionals alike.

Asus press team have just told me they are not expecting review samples of the PG279Q until mid August at the moment. They normally get them a few weeks before they are available in retail. Their sales person had previously told them "early August" but there had been a mix up with the originalo PG278Q ROG Swift model, and so there's a chance that tweek from Asus was based on similar info.
Realistically i don't expect sample until second half of Aug, and retail stock in September seems likely.

That news turning in to no news pretty swiftly with their update... basically they don't know.
From what Baddass is saying though, that makes sense. I figured it would be AT LEAST September at the earliest now given we've heard nothing official yet. It would be strange if they let this slip until Xmas/New Year.

I hate "gamer" branding of any kind. Hopefully this will have VESA mounts!!
You should be able to turn it off (can on the TN ROG Swift).
I'm not overly fussy about IPS glow/bleed but the pictures I've seen of it are beyond what I would tolerate :S
Asus said late Q3, Asus swe said Q4, TFTcentral said review mid august and release weeks after that, hopefully that is the case.
SweClockers are saying week of October 19th

Hi there
Not sure if already mentioned but Asus will probably overclock this panel to a staggering 165Hz as well.
Just for bragging rights.
