I'm on the fence about either of these awesome displays. I currently own a 120hz 23" 1080p Monitor.

Swift is 144hz at 2560 x 1440p, offers G-sync + 3D Vision and Ultra Low Motion Blur option with Lighboost.

The LG is an epic 3440 x 1440p IPS at 21:9 aspect, my issue with it is that it's only 60hz, but it will reproduce better colors with IPS technology.

Swift will start at $800, while the LG is selling now at $1,000.

I mostly play shooters, I'm used to 120hz TN, and I do own an Nvidia 3D vision emitter with Glasses.
I wonder if I'll regret not getting the Swift with G-sync over the 21:9 LG IPS.

Any suggestions?

Go for the Asus, you need better response times and screen refresh frequency than better colors that come at the cost of a laggy screen. If it comes geared with G-Sync you can make the best out of your Nvidia GPU, no screen tearing due to the FPS vs screen update.

Thanks - Yes, I'm leaning towards the Asus. Hopefully G-sync works well with SLI, I own a GTX690 which I'm hoping gets 120+FPS on BF4 with Medium Settings on that 144hz mode. 1080p was no problem, but 1440p might be another story.
