Interesting, When I was looking around for a new monitor a year or so ago it tended to be the G-sync models with higher refresh rates. LG also tended to be the brand selling half baked Freesync monitors, Hopefully that's changed too, It would seem so with this one supporting Freesync 2.
I'm already on 3440x1440 so I'm gonna have to wait for the high refresh rate UW4k models that are probably still a few years away. £1400.... Damn.

From this quote it sounds more like LG didn't fit the latest DisplayPort 1.4 G-Sync module and only fitted an older 1.2 version
If that true then it LG to blame for not fitting the latest hardware

Not a shock if right, If they can get away with cutting corners they will, We saw this with the Freesync monitors, And we see here how Freesync 2 has stopped it, It seems AMD were right to lock it down.
they should just say it costs 2k per module and charge it at 1.8k customer end so nvidia fanboys feel even more elite.
The sad thing is that many NVidia fanboys would not even think twice and still pay even at that price....
Maybe they didn't want their shiny new tech spoilt by an expensive hairdryer in the back
Freesync is the way forward.
Actually the title is misleading. The CPU alone costs $500 minimum if you read the article. (our of $2600 street value)
The rest of the components cost another $250-300
If you follow the discussion here, that is known for a long time...

LG cannot fit $800 Gsync module to that monitor or else it will be over the $2000 mark.
Yeah, thanks, wasn't aware as I don't frequent monitor sub, therefore presume others like myself would like the heads up since it's gfx dependant.
Very surprised about the whole situation tbh considering not having read about it in here in regards to tech point scoring in the usual for/against vrr arguments.
Personally having used FS first but now have 3 G-Sync panels(can't tell any difference inside the range), Nv really should be offering a baseline vrr adaptive sync non module variant at this point in time, and keep premium features for the elite
users-should they actually implement some(TP talked about exciting things for the module in the pipeline@FS launch).Yeah, thanks, wasn't aware as I don't frequent monitor sub, therefore presume others like myself would like the heads up since it's gfx dependant.

with deep pockets you mean If NV offers VRR then gsync is dead. Already NV is looking for solution to stop AMD APU being used as a bridge for Nvidia GPUs having Freesync.
And true atm quad core APU seems too "low end" , but if AMD pulls a 7nm 8 core APU then what?
Except with low framerate compensation being a feature of all Freesync 2 HDR and many Freesync 1 displays, Gsync really has no advantages over Freesync anymore. Therefore, Nvidia would not be able to charge a premium for it.Yeah, thanks, wasn't aware as I don't frequent monitor sub, therefore presume others like myself would like the heads up since it's gfx dependant.

Unfortunately it costs money to make those gsync modules and someone has to pay for them.
If NV was supporting adaptive sync do you believe I could have sold my 1080Ti Xtreme? True was a boring to overclock card, compared to the Vega 64 Nitro, but was a great card never the less.
G-sync is only still alive becasue Nvidia don't give their customers any other choice. If Geforce cards supported adaptivesync/freesync (like they should do with DP1.2a and up), no one would pay the extra for G-sync monitors as there would be no point.
It's a bit of a joke really, obsolete hardware but has a premium cost.

Still a good few games better supported under G-Sync than FreeSync - The Division for instance for a lot of people won't work except in DX12 mode and is hit and miss in DX12 if it wants to work or not.

Sounds like vendors are starting to laugh off Nvida's tax, the new licencing is probably stupidly expensive. Just look at the new HDR Predator offerings from Acer.
That would be entirely so, if it weren't for the fact that FreeSync still isn't as good as G-Sync. Despite what some would have you believe.

The Division issues were related to Relive added on the drivers back in late 2016! and only few people had the issue which resolved since.
On the other hand, is the stuttering issue with W10 1803 and gsync fixed, or still ongoing since February? Last time checked (early August) there is a few hundreds posts long thread ongoing in the official forum running since the start of the year.
