I don’t think I have ever seen so many customer’s pre-order a product, I certainly hope it doesn’t let anyone down.

It's the first of its kind. Hopefully ASUS has enough to supply everyone. 

I'm starting to think this monitor doesn't even exist.  And that all the photos taken in people's home's over in Europe were all photoshopped.
 
To what end... I dunno?!?  But I'm sure it has something to do with the Illuminati.

Give it a few more days.....

Apparently you can pick this monitor up in Australia now https://www.facebook.com/pccasegear
 
Buuuuuuuut I'm waiting for stock from Asus's Australian distributor and the stock is due in on September 3rd so i have no idea how PCCG got that stock they announce is already available to the public... lol i hope i get it at least $100 cheaper than AUD retail price for waiting an extra 2 weeks for mine. 

Official video released today:

:D I'm one click away from buying.... should I ? will I get stuck in backorder for weeks? Estimate delivery day is Thurs.. with 20 dollars shipping..
 
 

That's great news.  Means Newegg should be getting them any day now...

799 is a very good price...

I'll check stock for you guys when I go into work today. I work for Tigerdirect and I can check our inventory of the Swift, how many are available for immediate shipping, and how many we have on order. 

Hey guys,
 
One thing I had not done until watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_FzXxGVNi4
 
is the mouse driver and poling rate thing.  I guess I never installed the software or drivers for my corsair M65. Now I've installed the software and drivers and set the response or poling to 1ms which the corsair software shows 1ms = 1000
"
Report Rate Setting
The report rate determines how often the mouse sends data to the system. The default USB reporting rate is 8ms, or 125 reports per second. In its factory configuration, the Vengeance M65 gaming mouse is set to use a 1ms report rate, which means it sends data 1000 times per second.
The higher the report rate, the higher the burden on the CPU but a 1ms report rate generally isn’t a problem for modern CPU. However, if your system seems to slow down when using the mouse, you can adjust the reporting rate to reduce the load.
To change the report rate, simply click on the button corresponding to the setting you wish to use."
 
one nice thing with the M65 is that once you have your profile set in the software you upload your profile to the mouses onboard memory. This means it's all saved on the mouse and no need to have the corsair software running anymore. I think thats why I never installed their SW to begin with.
 
Night and day difference on my Gsync monitor. I highly recommend you'all do that once you get your swift if you haven't done that already with your respected mouses.

Dang.... those bastages want $73 worth of tax for this monitor in my state. :(
 
Nice find though.

That's one of the reasons I'm holding out for Newegg...

oh snap.... You must be at the location that I was actually 'thinking' about driving into if they actually had the inventory.  I might be willing to pay the tax if I can just walk into a store and walk out with one.  Especially since returning it might be easier.  Only time I ever buy anything in a store is if it's a cpu from microcenter.... but I wouldn't mind buying a large item like a monitor from a store though.
 
I'm actually going to call the store to see if they have one in stock.
 
 
----EDIT----
Bah, sales rep told me it's only available online. :(  
 

At the moment, it probably is.  Typically items that say "ship within 24 hours" are not readily available in either of our warehouses.

Heck, at least you guys don't have state income tax (I think?).  :)
 
Here these greedy bastages take income tax AND try to get local sales tax applied to any retailer with a base of operations in the state.

Just a sales tax here.  It would be about $48 for this monitor.

Just picked mine up from my local fry's this morning while still in my PJs once i knew they had a few in stock. No dead or lit pixels anywhere so i'm a very happy camper.

 
I'm sooooo jealous! I've been hitting refresh on newegg every 15 minutes for the past couple of days =/.

Been waiting for newegg to start selling and they are already out of stock?

Nice!  How do you like it so far?
 

 
Been playing on it for a couple of hours now and i freaking love it. Best monitor i've owned yet.

Are you serious!!! FRYS has it??? I have a fry's in Anaheim CA only 3 miles from my work. I'm stopping by there tomorrow just to see if I can get lucky.
