Means I have an extra 150 bucks in my pocket...  I also think the demand for this even at $800 is going to be very high. $650 will make that demand even higher. I hope there's an ample supply!

I mention it b/c I was looking around over on OC, and they were posting messages from the ROG facebook that listed that price point.
I dunno how valid it is, but I hope it could actually be true. I would no doubt order immediately for that price.

Yeah, I saw that to. I'm not going to get my hopes up for a $650 price tag, but if turns out to be, great...

Looks like ASUS said that $650 price tag announcement was an error on their part :(

Not surprised. Especially when since there has been 5 months of release delays.

I still might get this, but a big piece of me wants to see what other brands bring to the table in particular Samsung and BenQ... Worst case scenario it makes the Swift cheaper :)

60hz 4k doesn't do it for me. I really want to move away from 1080P so I think the Swift will be ideal Speed and resolution wise.

I feel exactly the same way. My current monitors, before getting them I had 1900x1200 monitors. I didn't think the drop to 1080p would be a big difference, but I notice it soooo much. I've basically been wanting to switch monitors since I got the ones I have now.

Not suprised. A month or two back there was in interview/review where they said it would be $719, then later said that was an error as well. Confirming again that it's $799.

Called the distributor today, due into Australia on 3th September 2014 - cost is not confirmed yet they told me $1099 retail and $1120 cost lol so that's to be confirmed, i'll jump on one regardless i think ive decided since i posted last night... i feel it would be $800-ish and i'd be ecstatic.

Place Purchased: EVGA Purchase Date: 8/9/2013 Date Registered: 08/13/2013 12:27:55 PM So yah we've surpassed that. What's worse is that Jacob kept us as well informed as he could.

Yep. That's for sure. And I still have doubts that we'll be able to purchase it this month even. Maybe preorder this month for a September delivery at best.

Yah I bought their message back in June, now I won't believe it until we see it for sale. I wish I could order a custom 34"-36" Swift.... I'd pay it. bigger the better especially when it comes to flight simming.

I've been on there too trying to keep track of he swift. Most of what I read sounds like user error to me. Most the issues I read sounded like they're configs are setup wrong.

That's how I took most of the issue's as well. Except for the one (I forget now) where finally the guy from ASUS finally concluded the issue was driver related with Gsync. I figure that in any case, as drivers get better at supporting Gsync, most if not all these issue's will disappear.

EXACTLY! Beta 340.43 does not work at all with gysnc. I had roll back to WQHL and everything was fine. this latest driver is all good too with Gsync.
