Just curious ... but what was wrong with your PG278Q, why did you want an RMA?
I only ask because *both* of my (Nov2014-dated) PG278Q monitors mysteriously blacked out within a week of each other fairly recently. Out of warranty so I recapped the transformer board, cleaned up lots of dust, tightened up the ribbons, fiddled around in the service menu, eventually got both monitors working again. Panels and driver boards were (are) still perfect, and surprisingly the ASUS-overclocked G-Sync module (which I had always expected would be the first point-of-failure) were still running full spec.
For me the problem was just old electrolytics, probably rated ~10000 hours or whatever, although mildly surprising two units should die so closely together after 4 years.
Any idea what went wrong with your Swift?
