Some of you here act as if you don't understand how business works. Of course Nvidia want to lock you into a product, that's how you make more money. Jeez.

People moan about nVidia prices but look at how much they reinvest in R&D. If people don't want a stagnant market, that is very much needed. I was very happy to pay for my ROG Swift and everyone else I know who owns one was the same. Only those that moan about it, don't have it :D

That is a big price difference between those monitors :eek:

Acer jumping on the bandwagon and competing with the ROG? Bad move if so and the people who wanted the 1440P G-Sync, would have already got it, so I can't see many selling at that price point.

That's the premium that IPS commands, theese and VA panels have always cost significantly more than TN equivalents.
 
That Acer IPS G-Sync isn't badly priced when you take into account that it is 144Hz. Not for me but for those who swear by IPS, it could well be a swayer.
 
If people can't notice a difference between IPS, VA and TN then they need to get their eyes tested! :D

Never going back to TN, it just looks horrible especially as soon as you view it ever so slightly from the centre... I never sit perfectly in the middle at the right distance so TN screens look even more washed out.

Input lag is a non-issue for good IPS panels, I don't notice it at all on my 29um65 or dell u2311h, well lets put it this way, it certainly doesn't stop me from topping the leaderboards in bc 2, bf 3 and bf 4 with 4+ k/d and an accuracy of 20+% when playing infantry.

The only issue with IPS and VA compared to these gaming TN panels is motion clarity, it is very poor in comparison.

60% premium, in this case £260 for IPS vs TN?

In todays market, that doesn't surprise me at all tbh. When I got my VA benq in sig, it cost £450.00. Similair sized TN panel screens cost an awful lot less at the time. And iirc I've had this monitor for going on seven years.
