The Asus ROG Swift PG348Q is the company’s first 21:9 ultra-widescreen gaming display, entering a nascent section of the displays market, but one that’s growing rapidly. It could make quite a splash though, as it has a 34-inch IPS screen and a native resolution of 3,440 x 1,440, with Nvidia G-Sync support and a maximum overclocked refresh rate of 100Hz. Not to mention a highly unusual, eye catching design.

Asus has recently adopted an interesting approach to the appearance of some of its products. The safe and same approach has gone out of the window, and a new design language has taken over that really makes some of its products stand out.

We’ve already seen the Asus RT-AC5300 (Review HERE), which is a rather bizarre looking 802.11ac router. Now we have the ROG Swift PG348Q, a curved 34-inch ultra-wide display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and what is possibly the boldest looking monitor design we’ve seen.

Decked out in a mid grey and orange colour scheme, christened ‘Plasma Copper’ and ‘Titanium Armor’ by Asus, there are metal sections that look like cylinders and a stand that’s shaped like a blade, all of which gives contributes to a strikingly futuristic and industrial appearance.

Display technology is going through something of a renaissance right now. Advancements in panel quality, affordable 4K screens and refresh rates beyond 60Hz mean a monitor is the centre of a PC specification, no longer the last thing to be added to a shopping cart when buying a PC.

Manufacturers are simultaneously paying more attention to the design and appearance of displays as well. Acer in particular is stepping up to the mark, with the aggressive red and black appearance of the Acer Predator Z35 (Review HERE). Asus is clearly trying to match, or even beat its arch rival’s bold design.

Besides its unusual appearance, the Asus ROG Swift PG348Q has a specification that hits the high notes. It has an IPS panel capable of 10-bit colour processing, achieved with FRC (frame rate control) or dithering, applied to an 8-bit panel. It has a response time of 5 ms and a native resolution of 3,440 x 1,440.

And it supports Nvidia G-Sync, with an overclocked refresh rate that goes up to 100Hz via a setting in the menu.

Asustek Computer has unveiled the world’s first and only curved ultra-wide 34” display with 100Hz refresh rate and Nvidia Corp.’s G-Sync technology. The monitor with unique combination of features was designed specifically for gamers and will hit the market in the coming months.

The Asus ROG Swift PG348Q comes with 8bit+Hi-FRC in-plane switching (IPS) panel with 3440*1440 resolution, 172°/178° horizontal/vertical viewing angles and 100Hz refresh rate. The monitor will be the first ultra-wide 34” curved display in the market that combines very high resolution, 100Hz panel as well as Nvidia G-Sync technology, which matches monitor's refresh rate with a GPU’s rendering rate on a frame-by-frame basis to provide smooth gaming experience.

Asustek Computer did not reveal a lot of details about its ROG Swift PG348Q monitor, but it is logical to expect the new flagship Republic of Gamers display to have DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI interfaces as well as a USB 3.0 hub. The new ROG Swift also boasts with an ultra-thin frame as well as tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.

The manufacturer did not reveal when exactly it plans to release its unique display, but it is likely that the product will become available in the coming months.

Asus did not disclose the price of its ROG Swift PG348Q monitor, but expect it to be over £1000/$1300/€1300, given its exclusive combination of features as well as lack of direct rivals.

KitGuru Says: A 34” 100Hz IPS display with 3440*1440 resolution and Nvidia G-Sync seems to be a great choice for gamers, who also want to enjoy fine colours and viewing angles. The price of the product will naturally be prohibitively high, but 100Hz refresh along with G-Sync may be worth it for many gamers.
