24' 1080p IPS and it will never be probably manufactured, so i'll have to go with AOC on TN :(

do you mean full 24" 16:10 IPS panel ? there are plenty of them , even by Acer ( Acer B246WL , IPS panel 1920x1200 , 16:10 Professional series ) but it's not a gaming device

It more about screen size than rig. I have two 24' monitors at work and i already think they are slightly too big for my setup in home.
27' would be definitely too big.
And there is Star Citizen which will be hard to run in 1440p even in 3 years :p

Since the debut of G-SYNC our partners have released many TN models, with resolutions ranging from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 (4K), and features that further improve your experience. Today, G-SYNC enters a new era with the unveiling of the world’s first 144Hz IPS G-SYNC monitor at The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Engineered by Acer, the 2560x1440 XB270HU is the world’s first 144Hz IPS gaming monitor, the world's first IPS G-SYNC gaming monitor, the first IPS gaming monitor to also support NVIDIA Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology, and one of the world’s first IPS monitors with a response time of only 4ms G-to-G.

That is neat. I'm not a big ULMB fan (I don't mind the amount of "blur" at normal 120Hz+ for non-VR and prefer higher IQ), but it's certainly good for those who want it!
Now build a VA one :/

This IPS Gsync Acer panel is looking to be hot gaming panel of the year. Expect it to go through the same droughts that the Swift did last year, but hopefully won't have the same type of QA issues as that panel...

I got the AOC 144Hz g-synch monitor. Should I/Do I have to set Display refresh rate to 144Hz? Even if it that's a higher refresh rate than my GTX770 will normally output in frames, that shouldn't matter as long as the g-sync is on, right?

You don't have to. It's personal preference really. G-Sync will cap the game's frame rate upper limit to match the display's refresh rate.

Wasn't Freesync way cheaper (and better because it worked even under 30 fps)?
Why Nvidia can't just accept that it will be the future?
(I'm not a AMD fanboy, I even purchased recently a 970 but I really like AMD's effort in that direction).
I can't wait for tv's and monitor's to finally adapt 144hz, 1440p and Freesync (or his ugly brother Gsync).
This will make pc's a must buy.

Gsync is here right now. I've been using it since August and it's awesome. Freesync can be considered a competitor when it's actually out

I'm curious to see what the input lag will be on this panel.

If it's non-existent/very low it will be tough for me to hold off on this even though I have a Swift.

but if I set it at 60hz, will it cap it to 60hx for games that I run at higher than 60fps?

Where are the Freesync demos? I've yet to see a video comparison.

BlurBuster's impressions:

Now, my initial impressions of FreeSync is that it's on an equal footing to GSYNC in motion quality. At least by first impression, without looking closely at them "under a microscope". FreeSync certainly eliminated stutters and tearing, just like GSYNC does, even if the methods/technologies work somewhat differently. A future article will probably compare GSYNC and FreeSync. Many sources have reported various pros and cons of GSYNC and FreeSync, but a major one that sticks out: Lower cost of implementing FreeSync.

This is the same guy who did these GSync reviews:

http://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/preview2/

AMD is talking a lot of trash, they've outright stated they expect Freesync to be measurably better than GSync because it doesn't poll the monitor constantly (this behavior is explored in part 2 of that review I linked). I hope they deliver.

I maybe a bit late here, but if the monitor supports ULMB it should support 3D Vision as well, right?

Also, is 3D Vision still being supported by Nvidia? There seems to be less buzz around it than in the past, but I would hate it if it was discontinued when finally monitors that provide both a decent image quality and the required refresh rate enter the market.

How the hell is ASUS going to compete with that?!?!

For comparison the SWIFT ROG goes for around £619.99-£629.99 now.

I'm not too optimistic. I have an ROG Swift and it's starting to show some problems that I've become paranoid. How much better is Acer than Asus when it comes to reliability? If they don't have a good track record I would never risk getting a better panel from them at the same price of the Swift.

Asus offers a two year warranty on them, If theirs a problem get a RMA for it.

Been going back and forth between this one, Rog Swift Asus PG278Q and Asus PG27AQ (4k).

Tftcentral finished their review of the Acer XB270HU - the 27 inch, IPS-type, 144Hzz, G-sync/ULMB monitor. It's the first monitor to have these specs and they say it's every bit as good as promised. Exciting times in display!

That zero-frame one looks absolutely stunning. If it's under 500€ it will be mine.

Edit: Just saw that it is exactly 499€ in my country. Perfect. :D The IPS one is 799€.

Excellent. More progress in the display market. Hopefully the IPS-type 1920x1080 variable refresh displays will be impressive too and we'll see a higher rate of adoption and more progress as a result. Death to V-Sync!

Damn, that input lag is really nice. In fact almost everything about the display is, but then I look at the IPS glow picture.. Oh man. I've had an IPS display for 5+ years now and I'd really like to get rid of the glow.

Threadworthy IMO.

I imagine a lot of people will be excited to hear the monitor actually... works. There was some doubts (myself included) that it wouldn't meet expectations after Nvidia (or was it Asus?) flatout said IPS isn't compatible with Gsync.

I don't remember any company saying that. It was mostly talk on forums based on only TN screens being released.

If I didn't already jumped to 4K Gsync, this would be day one. Unfortunately, I already did and can't go back to 1440p. Crossing my fingers that there will be a 4K version within a year.

So what specifically do you need from this monitor if you're looking for a non-gaming monitor?
Click to expand...
Well, this is going OT, but to answer your question:

I'm looking for a monitor for my dad, for photo/tv and web browsing. I'm currently looking at either the Dell P2715Q (4k, 550€) or the U2515H (1440p, 300€).
Higher refresh lower blur is nice to have even for his use and would be worth a little extra, but G-Sync/ULMB is useless as it would be powered by an Intel GPU.
Pre-order price of the Acer is 750€. If it came without G-Sync it could be 100€ cheaper and post release drop into a price range worth considering.

Sounds like it works very well. IPS 144hz would be great but I still don't feel comfortable making the jump to 1440p. I would still prefer 1080p just to maximize framerate as best as I can.
