Not really!
It smooths out big differentials and stops tearing.
So lets say in a game you have a maximum of 60fps and a minimum of 25fps then it works superbly well!
Of course having zero tearing is great as well!
At last we agree but I think many are getting sold on the fact it will make constant low FPS look better.
Why is this TN as its only 60HZ, assume its to do with Gsync as it could be a IPS 5ms panel @ 4k.

Because there isnt a panel available that hits the pricepoint, the closest would be the dell 24" and even that is around £800, so a 28" IPS would be around £1400 and probably still not particularly great for gaming
This 4K TN panel rivals IPS easily
As long you have enough GPU grunt then that's not really going to be an issue with vsync on. Assuming that the optimal gsync range of 30-60 FPS then gsync would only offer lower latency in this situation.

nope, that is TN, it is the same panel as this monitor (and all the other 28 inch 4K's)

vsync synchronises the GPU and the monitor but only at the monitors max refresh or half, then half again, so you either accept massive input lag by rendering lots of frames ahead, or you minimise lag and then you get stutter and with dips to below about 50fps then you still get the stutter as the GPU still can't render enough frames to prevent the chopping to 30fps that vsync requires when it can't sustain 60fps
personally I find both unacceptable
with how poorly optimised a lot of games are at 4K, you need something like gsync to combat that, even with 3 Titans
The PB279Q is an upcoming monitor using an AHVA (IPS-type) panel. It's due out later this year, probably well into Q4.

Gibbo I first got wind of the monitor from a mailer sent to me by one of your main competitors which had the estimated RRP of £499 inc VAT stated in it.
If you want me to forward on to you, can do just trust me or let me know where you want it forwarded to.

ah sorry, I googled and the first thing that came up was the 28" one
Yeah. I blame ASUS for making their model numbers all so similar. They need to give them all names like the 'SWIFT'.
Yeah I've seen that too, Acer should come back to me next week, but seems they probably meant £499 excluding taxes.
Nothing is concrete but delivery will be August sometime, I'd advice not pre-ordering until next week, just in case they can give me a much better price.
Any news on this Gibbo re to price & availability?
Hi there
OK had the call, they want to work very closely with us including other gaming models in their line up.
The price will come down slightly and more details on that over next day or so, as such please do not pre-order yet.
First small batch is due beginning August and then much larger waves of stock end of August.

Likely to be much price difference between the first batch and second? I can't imagine there would be. Put me down for one of the first batch
Edit: it have a vesa mount? Can't see it in the description.
Yes Acer will have a special price for first amount sold, the price will then permantly go up.
In short we should be able to hit £499 inc for first 50 units sold, the price shall then be £559.99 inc.
This is all yet to be confirmed in writing to me though.
