A Week With NVIDIA's G-SYNC Monitor

Well my query was for playing games, benching was just an example.

I've been holding out for a new monitor for a while now, might just hold out a bit longer for one of these badboys.

:)

the main reason people turn off vsync for playing games is because of input lag - gsync removes input lag so no reason to turn it off, get all the benefits all the time :)
 
Yeah seems I mis-read, my apologies.

[Edit] Or what Gibbo said. I knew I wasn't imagining it! :p

[Edit2] Gibbo, will these monitors all be TN Film or are there going to be IPS models at launch?

Unfortunately TN by looks of stuff. :(

Which for me is an instant NO.

The only 1920x1080 monitor I'd consider would be a 27" VA or 24" Eizo IPS 240Hz.

To be honest I preferred the image quality 2560x1440 gives in games over 1920x1080 with some gimmick to help smoothen stuff out. Resolution, viewing angles and image quality is KING for me, which means IPS/VA/PLS all the way. I really don't like TN screens. ;)
 
I switched from an old DGM VA to a XL2411T and the TN panel is driving me crazy. If the DGM wasn't broken I would switch back for desktop and non-gaming use.
 
Really like my current asus vg236, the only thing is missing from it is lightboost and gsync which I'll get both of when the asus monitors land.

Can you hint on pricing gibbo? As in sub £400 or above?

TBH Lightboost isn't all that good, used it for while then ended up switching it off. The colours and brightness become washed out and the reduced motion blur needs a frame rate to match the hertz so 120hz needs 120fps to get the benefit.
 
Guru3D's got a write up, he's quoting GBP 445.00 Incl. VAT for the Asus, available next week?

Sorry, that is an absolute joke. That is DELL monitor money which are far superior in image quality.

Infact for £599, buy you a Samsung 27" PLS. Absolutely zero chance, over-priced beyond belief for a 1920x1080 TN panel, what a joke. :(
 
£450 for a TN?

Way too much, the standard version of that monitor is £299, so £150 for this, shall wait for BenQ, they will give the customer value.

Right now I'd be buying these, all superior IMHO:-

MO-004-EO_400.jpg


Experience fluid gameplay free from motion blur with the gaming industry’s first 240 Hz monitor. EIZO’s Turbo 240 converts 120 Hz input signals to 240 Hz for a refresh rate double that of conventional gaming monitors so you can enjoy the smoothest motion display yet for first-person shooter, racing, and other fast-action genres.

Input lag, or the time it takes for commands from a keyboard, mouse, or controller to appear on the screen, can be the difference between hitting your target and missing it. EIZO developed its own integrated circuit to ensure your commands appear onscreen without delay.

Play like the pros with gaming presets from pro gamers such as Counter-Strike legend Patrik “cArn” Sättermon and Dota 2 player Johan “n0tail” Sundstein. Use the bundled software, ScreenManager Pro for Gaming, to download these and other presets from gaming.eizo.com or to export your own presets.

The FORIS FG2421 uses a new VA (vertical alignment) panel with a native contrast ratio of 5000:1. This is 5 times more than what other gaming monitors offer and increases the visibility in dark scenes so you can spot enemies more quickly.

The rear cabinet design features an LED backlit EIZO logo on a glossy surface surrounded by a vermillion frame. The logo glows brilliantly in a dimly-lit room or in a tournament setting. The front cabinet has a simple design so you can focus on the screen.

EIZO’s five-year warranty is two years or 67% longer than the standard three-year warranty of most brands.

Sorry for the shameless pimping, but I am sure I am not alone that £450 is way too much for a TN panel, WAY TOO MUCH. :(
 
Guru3D's got a write up, he's quoting GBP 445.00 Incl. VAT for the Asus, available next week?

Sounds nice, but the price. :eek:

Sorry, that is an absolute joke. That is DELL monitor money which are far superior in image quality.

Infact for £599, buy you a Samsung 27" PLS. Absolutely zero chance, over-priced beyond belief for a 1920x1080 TN panel, what a joke. :(

That's more expensive than my 1440P IPS screen. :eek:

In that case apologies to you Matt, I like many others on here often jump the gun, thinking that some posts are written in a certain way to antagonize when in fact they are not meant that way.
So again apologies to you Matt.

No worries, thanks for the apology. :)
 
Just noticed this as well ;

I do need to make one side-note though the technology affects the display pipeline, it can reveal previously unnoticed glitches, stutters, and artifacts caused by the game engine or other PC operations. This can be caused by any number of different factors including texture loading, memory swaps, etc.

How can a tech that is supposed to reduce stutters, introduce them where they were previously unnoticed? :confused:
