My question now is, is the ROG Swift really that "bad" as people say if it comes to color? I want to have a gaming monitor that gives me outstanding visiuals. Otherwise I wouldn't need such strong GPU's to play on max details.

Do you guys know any comparison videos between the swifts TN and IPS or something like this? That what I could find in terms of comparison did scare the heck out of me.

That's a good question.
I'm quite happy with my gaming experience with my SWIFT. Things look gorgeous, detailed, colorful and impressive. When I am sitting in my chair, right in front of it. But, if I get up, or move around, it looks noticeably different and worse, due to it being a TN monitor.
ASUS announced at CES in Janurary that there are coming out with one or two IPS ROG monitors. One is a 27" that can do 120Hz (maybe 144Hz eventually?), and another is a 4k Monitor that does 60Hz. But I don't know when you'll be able to buy them.

The other day I was at FRYs and saw one of the LG 34" curved IPS wide monitors. That looked really nice, from all the angles. But, it's 60Hz. http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-34UC97

There is no mention of g-sync for that 120hz monitor.
Good point about 4K monitors, and then needing even more powerful hardware for it.

You may not find a Swift on display, but side-by-side comparisons of TN vs IPS displays reveal general colour characteristics well enough. The Swift excels at what it was built for - displaying motion. There's no real substitute for firsthand observation, since any online comparison is ultimately going to be limited by whatever display you currently use.
I found a Swift on display at Staples, oddly enough, and at a surprisingly low price. A friend tells me they're also at Wal-Mart. I never expected to see top end enthusiast-/gamer-dedicated niche gear outside of places like NCIX, Future Shop, or Best Buy - but the big box stores are the ones with enough floor space to proudly display their wares.
