I'm already itching to get my hands on it but I know it's not till next week!

*presses the fast forward button*

Why isn't time skipping already.

This is going to be a long 11 days

Wonder if there's an off chance of some coming in next Monday, as that's when the 144hz acers are due.

9 days to go......

I've pre-ordered this monitor but i'm a bit concerned with one aspect. I can't stand screen tearing so I thought with the g-sync it wouldn't make a difference that it's 60hz refresh rate. Is this correct? As I'm seeing g-sync monitors with 144hz refresh rate.

I've got a 780 Ti to power the monitor. Is there a chance of screen tearing with this 60hz monitor? I won't be expecting to run this @ 4k, 1080p is fine for gaming for the time being. With an upgrade path for the future.

I'm not sure what the difference between the two are? G-sync 60hz v 144hz?

144hz will refresh every 7ms or so 60hz every 16.6ms. 144hz will feel more fluid but as it is anything over 60hz at 4k can't be done. There are some Strong rumors this monitor will do 1080 @ 120hz also and quite possibly 90hz+ at 1440p, so you do have some room for negotiation if your current hardware isn't quite up to running some games at 4k.

8 days to go

8 days until its out, likely 11 till' I get a look in

Ah well, shall have to spend the weekend getting mangled.

So theoretically there shouldn't be screen tearing @ 60hz with g-sync though?

pgi947 · 28 Aug 2014 at 23:08

Correct

No screen tear, no added input lag = win win

1 week to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gibbo, care to calm some nerves and assure us the shipment will be on time?

Gregster · 29 Aug 2014 at 11:52

Also hoping Gibbo has heard from Acer and that date is a go

You know when you're eagerly awaiting a product when you're checking several times a day to see if your monitor has been sent, despite knowing that it won't be delivered until release.

Ugh the wait is endless!

pgi947 · 29 Aug 2014 at 16:55

I'm the same, every time I get an email notification on my phone

pgi947 · 30 Aug 2014 at 08:45

Any word from the big man yet? Need to know if we're getting some free Saturday delivery bumps or am I going to have to get it paid up

Super excited now.

The 1080 gsync units are due in today.
