Any pictures of the monitors on people's desks?

just found this lovely little titbit.

Asked for some clarity in the FreeSync(TM) - Q&A thread as articles portrayed Freesync would be enabled in Omega.

Now that AMD are sorting me out with a card, I'll be testing any FreeSync monitors I can as and when they are available to me.

It's a bit dark I will put brighter ones on tonight.

It is still down to personal preference, personally, playing lots of games with a dark background and prefering to play in low light conditions i will take TN over IPS as IPS glow does my head in and the swift still edges out the IPS for motion clarity

I'm actually hoping the curved gsync thingy isnt ips either

Sounds to me like you want to discover VA! TN's overly bright blacks can jog on... (Also the Eizo demonstrated that VA could match TN for motion clarity, very impressive screen and hope there is a follow up with adaptive sync and a nicer look! )


Having said that, I'll not be getting any adaptive sync monitor any time soon - I'd love to but not enough to break my normal update cycle, just recently upgraded my monitor anyway

I'd be willing to give VA a go, just anything except IPS
I don't have any issue with "bright blacks" on the ROG though, not with just a small dab of gamma adjustment

Couldn't do anything about the sun, if I removed it the image became very dark.

Nice monitor by the looks of it also your radiators need bleeding.

My Radiator? Never gets used..

Fairly certain I saw a VA with TN-like speed recently, for use in hospital imaging depts. Wasn't exactly slim though.

Ahhhh from the heat of your 290's?

I am wanting a 1440 144hz monitor but knowing my luck I will get one and a 4k 144hz one will come out, Plus they are a bit pricey right now.

Your new house is warmer than my new house then, I blame the wood floors, Carpets ftw.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

So with free sync do you not have to enable vsync?

 

[Final8y]

Correct, no Vsync needed unless you want to.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Correct, no Vsync needed unless you want to.

And no tearing right? Sounds sweet.
