I ordered mine in August, and mine has not shipped yet. I think i will just cancel it at this point, i just dumped 2 grand into a i7 5930k, rampage v extreme mobo , ddr 4 and a gtx 980.

Honestly, I know that waiting for it sucks but it's sooo completely worth it. I wouldn't give up on your order yet.

Well that was funny, the salesman at micro center got me a swift in 2 business days. I said no way, he said yes. Well i got one. It is pretty awesome.

My Rog Swift arrived Monday from Newegg. I set it up easy enough. Initially, my desktop looked "washed out", like the brightness was too high. I fiddled with it but couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. Then I realized I had forgot to update my video driver (337.88). I loaded the new driver and boom, everything looked great. Loaded up some games and smooth as silk. No dead or stuck pixels. Beautiful monitor. Some pics:
Don't panic, the second pic looks terrible because my G4 has trouble focusing for some reason.

When i saw the box, i was like holy cow...... it was so freakin huge ! 
 
I have played around with it more. I really like both g sync and ULMB mode. I honestly am having problems picking which to use. I was a CRT user til not that long ago, and the ULMB mode makes me feel like i am on a CRT, and that is pretty awesome for me. The size of this monitor is perfect, i dont think i would want larger. Res is spot on, even though a single GTX 980 might be a hair too slow for this res. Its fine if i turn off AA though. All in all, amazing piece of kit.

Yes it would! On a sidenote, Newegg now has it listed as not in stock and may not be restocked :( that makes me sad lol

I've been following this thread for a few days as I've been pondering with an idea of 1440p / g-sync panel. Thanks for your great contributions / comments! They definitely helped me in the process of making a purchase decision.
...now I feel I should give something back to the "community" :-)
 
I pulled the trigger and purchased the Swift PG278Q a few days ago.
Just so you know where I'm coming from. My current (or I should say old) monitor is Dell 2312HM (1080p IPS) also used 27" IPS 1440p (Benq GW2765HT) for a short time. A few weeks ago I treated myself with a new gtx 970 and a "monitor idea" came alongside :) 1080p doesn't pay 970 a justice I think ;) I was "semi" happy with 1440p benq - all looked great until things started to move on the screen...screen tearing and stuttering - just horrible and painful to watch (black flag, witcher 2)
 
I was a bit worried about the picture quality on swift as I didn't have a good experience with TFT panels. I was playing with BenqXL2411T a year ago or so and was very disappointed with colours (washed out) and picture quality in general. So I ended up with IPS dell 2312HM. I've been generally happy with it for nearly 2 years since I built my rig but tearing was getting on my nerves big time.
 
Anyways, I received PG278Q this afternoon ("UK time") Yay! :-)  I've been using it for 6h on games (Far Cry 3, Metro Redux, NBA 2k15, AC Black Flag, Trine 2) and general use (you tube, browsing). and here are my first impressions:
 
- This monitor screams quality and no-nonsense from the moment you take it out of the box
- It looks gorgeous. The panel is almost flushed with the bezel. No unnecessary cheesy c**p. 
- Have to mention it sorry...the menu and how the way it's designed - outstanding. Joystick - thumbs up. So quick and easy to operate. I know it's a minor thing but it's a perfect example of how much thought went into designing this product. 
- Picture quality - as good as my IPS Dell!  Slightly less saturated colours but I actually think this makes them more natural (something like amoled vs ips on mobile phones).
- At this point, once I found picture quality great, I was really excited to test the rest (g-sync 144hz etc)  as my biggest worry was gone
- g-sync!  the ultimate selling point (well at least at this point in time). No tearing or stuttering (99% of time I should say as sometimes I see stutters)...sweet!!! - gameplay is as smooth as butter
- 1440 rocks....everything is so sharp but I was expecting this after IPS benq...if you haven't seen 1440 in action you should because it's freakin awesome...def a future of gaming
- did I mention a power button - instant. Click and screen is black. another click and it's back on. Just the way it should be! 
- in short this monitor is a joy to use
- no bleeding or dead pixels
- this monitor totally exceeded my expectations.
 
Only negative is the price £620 in the UK and the fact you need a powerful rig to maintain good fps (50+)
 
btw, I don't seem to be able to set 144hz permanently and every time I enter a new game / application I have to press the button to go into 120 / 144 hz. 
 
Now, I'm seriously considering going SLI (currently a single gtx 970) as 1440 is very taxing. But picture is just too "sweet / buttery" in 80+ fps on this monitor to ignore such idea ;) what do you guys think about this? 
 
Sorry for the length of this post
 
cheers
