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.
That is exactly what i'm refering to; when the monitor duplicates a frame, at a refresh of 60hz, the result is effective 30hz, or to talk in terms of frametimes 60hz/fps is 16.6ms, if you are running at 57fps on the gpu then that is an average 17.5ms, but what will most likely be happening is some frames hit below 16.6 and get displayed and others hit after 16.6 causing 33.2ms, which with it happening multiple times per second you pick up as a stutter, it is the constant changing from 16.6ms to 33.2ms that causes the problem... Where as if you have a stream of images being displayed at 16 then 17 then 18 then back to 16ms and so on, you dont notice the difference
Now that ive seen gsync first hand, my next monitor purchase will definitely have it, in fact I will even be trading in my 2-3 month old Samsung 4k to get this acer 4k
asus PB279Q 4K will be ips panel but without G sync, I think better I wait this one with G sync looks promising.
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)
Hi there
Can you tell me where you have seen the price £499.99 Inc. VAT or where Acer mentioned this?
The PB279Q is an upcoming monitor using an AHVA (IPS-type) panel. It's due out later this year, probably well into Q4.
ah sorry, I googled and the first thing that came up was the 28" one
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.
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?
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.
