Kyle needs an editor. This was a poorly-written piece, from both English language and journalistic perspectives. It presents as quite juvenile in tone and delivery. least he alluded to the fact that is essentially an opinion piece.

For Sale: ASUS RoG Swift Display. Model PG278Q
This is an excellent display. I bought it new last September; there are no dead pixels that I'm aware of. I'm picky about backlight bleed, and I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
I've used this lightly since it was purchased. It will...
How long did you keep yours?
I'm loving all the definitive opions in this thread.
It's a great display for its primary intended use, which is gaming. Is it a magical piece of hardware? No. Is it a bit on the pricey side? Sure is! Then again, it's got no competition, so the price premium was...
I want to say that I've idled at normal clocks @ 144Hz, but I'll double check. I was using GPU-Z to check. Should I be using another tool?
Threads on other sites say that high clocks at idle are not universal, particularly with a single display.

That's from ManuelG at NVidia.
I wasn't clear in my initial reply - that's the scenario that I thought may be asking for trouble as well. But, I can also understand why one might expect even that to not cause any lasting issues.
Not just turned on, but repeatedly cycling through some utility designed to "unstick" pixels or subpixels.
But, you're correct - it should work as advertised, regardless of the specific use case. So, that shouldn't be a concern.
I'll suggest that the CPU analogy that someone posted is a bit...
I mentioned this earlier, but we already know that the GSync module in these is overclocked and ASUS had to compensate with additional airflow and an improved heatsink. Correlation, maybe?
I do raise an eyebrow when I see people stick these at 144Hz and drive them there for 12-24 hours...
You can pay one person $1500 on eBay and he'll ship it end of September after payment fully clears. I'm not sure that he understands that retailers will have a second wave by then.
You must have reached a rep. who gave a crap. The rep. I spoke with was a dudebro who used the phrase, "cool, man" to end the call. I felt like he was going to offer a fist bump through the phone.
