Sure, the ASUS press conference hasn't started yet, but we did find a new monitor on display in the lobby. The ASUS PG27AQ is a 27-in monitor with a 4K resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate. Even better is that this is an IPS panel and utilizes NVIDIA G-Sync technology. That's right, a real-life IPS G-Sync monitor!
I don't have many other details yet but I was told that pricing is not set and availability would be in the "second half of 2015." The physical construction is identical to that of the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q. Unfortunately ASUS was only playing back a 4K video on the system, no real-world G-Sync testing quite yet. The ASUS press event starts in just about 45 minutes so stay tuned!
So, who's interested?

Unfortunately, that was probably a refuse as no 144Hz IPS panels actually exist. 🙁

Where did the article about the asus swift with 144 hz, IPS, and G-sync go? Clicked it, and was met by an “you are not authorized to see this”, and then the article was gone :P. hmmmmmmm

Second half of
Second half of 2015.
Translation: Let’s wait and see what Freesync has to offer first. It will be stupid to pay the full price for G-Sync boards to Nvidia and end up with an expensive monitor that will be difficult to sell because of it’s price.
By the time Adaptive Sync is
By the time Adaptive Sync is implemented on display controllers, so will G-sync (seeing as they share the same driving hardware, and only differ in minute of the DP protocol). No more FPGA boards needed.
