Anyone knows when or around when this Monitor is going to be available and if is going to be right out the box a 120 hz refresh rate monitor or if to get that refresh rate the Monitor has to be tweak. Also anyone knows when the X 79 ZEUS motherboard also are going to be available? TIA to anyone 4 the promptly answer. :cool:

No, it's really really really nearly finished. We're in the last leg of testing/certifications for product ready now.

So last leg < 3 weeks? I really just want to give Asus my money, but it's like they don't want it. I think I'll buy the first g-sync monitor that lands on shelves, between Asus & BenQ.

Marshall, do you know if the monitor will be released in the UK for mid July aswell?

The same i need ask for germany. I dont like wait monthly for monthly. When Asus dont come out of her shoes I need buy other.

I buy until 1992 only Asus Mainboards and I have the feeling Asus was more slowly between the release and availability of new products in the last years.
Case: Caselabs S8 + Pedestal color "Gunmetal"
MB: R4BE , CPU: i7 4960x, RAM: 32GB RAM G-Skill Sniper 1866, GPU: 2 x EVGA Titan Black SC 6GB, SSD: 1 x OCZ Vertex3 250GB, 1 x Samsung 840 Basic 250GB , 2 x Samsung 840 Evo 1TB, PSU: Corsair AX1200i, ( MB, CPU, GPU watercooled by Watercool )

In my opinion is that ASUS wants to have a little more time to sell the 4K monitor before the PG278Q Premium shows up, so or either they are waiting for the TITAN Z to show up so they can test it in that kind of monitor so they can impress the gamers.

Nope, we simply can't get it to market fast enough. R&D takes time. First (small) batches are shipping out right now to the US market, with more to follow in other regions.

I feel that asus is really dropping the ball lately on its new ROG products. The ROG front base hasn't been in stock since newegg first got it in and sold out, The ROG Swift PG278Q has been constantly pushed back ever since its first speculated release timeframe with promises of "Soon" for the past 4 to 5 months since it was announced, The ROG Armor Mechanical keyboard is nowhere to be seen or heard from since it was teased at Computex last year and now i have yet to see the ASUS ROG MATRIX GTX 780Ti Platinum in the US market while currently available in other regions. I am losing my faith in Asus 😠


No release date was ever given for the PG initially. It was 'expected by Q2' by someone who was not informed of the actual development process.

Front Base, I don't know sorry - they are selling well. Sorry we can't keep it in stock.

Armor KB was wrong to be shown as it wasn't an actual product only concept. The original concept cancelled and went back to the drawing board to become the GK2000. It's due around next month.

Do you guys happen to know which e-retailers will be the ones carrying the first batch as they come in and do we have an estimate when this month they'll show up? 🙂

Popular ones like Newegg/Amazon, and sorry I don't know more than that. That process is entirely down to sales/distribution side.

That's okay. Just needed to know what sites to constantly check. I appreciate it!
