Are they proper G-Sync

Theres some free sync and g sync monitors out there for really cheap prices, looking at a 4k 144hz monitor

are they proper gsync, any downsides?
 
These are proper G-Sync mate. It is so G-Sync that it even comes with a fan in it!

The price is proper G-Sync also, it goes towards buying Jensen's leather jackets :p

you have provided a link to the Asus 4k Gsync 144hz monitor that cost 2 bags

yet the monitor below is only 793 quid and has all of the above, so what am i missing?

With a quick glance, these seem like very different monitors. Did you not read the descriptions?

The 2K one has Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) and a FPGA chip with a fan on it. The other monitor does not have have FALD and has a much lower peak brightness so HDR if it even has it will be no good. Not only that, the more expensive monitor has a much bigger colour gamut. The cheap one only covers 90% DCI-P3, where as the expensive one is 97%.

What is it that you think G-Sync does by the way? If what you understand is it allows you to play without V-Sync and tearing then both monitors have this. One monitor however is more advanced than the other as I have shown above. These days there is no need for a chip in the monitor to have G-Sync, but it seems it is for HDR. I personally am not versed as to why this is. Maybe baddass can explain that to you.

If it was me, I would go for the cheaper of those two monitors unless HDR is a big thing for you. But paying 1K+ to have HDR that hardly any game will benefit from at the moment is a waste of money. Plus who wants to hear a fan whining in their monitor??

Hopefully you understand now :)

By the way, in the post you quoted in case you could not tell I was being sarcastic :D

Im aware on what gsync is, I had a 2560x1440 144hz 27 inch Asus monitor, i really loved it, i decided to get a bigger screen so i sold it and bought a LG 31.5inch 2560x1440 165hz monitor, the pixels on it are much bigger, even though they both are 2560x1440, the LG screen isnt as sharp as the Asus, using word you can see each pixel, but on the asus monitor it was clean and sharp, the pixels are so small u cant see them., but was too late as the Asus was already sold, ive decided to buy another monitor, Gsync with a high refresh rate is key, I want a 4k one but they are super expensive, so I might just get another 1440p, the wide screen monitors, hence why i asked if the monitor above is any good, looked online and the gsync compatible monitors are missing a lot of features

so im gonna stick to a original Gsync monitor, i just need to keep n eye on whats available, Im gonna sell my LG screen for around 300/350 add another 700ish so Ive got £1000 to play with, this will be used with my RTX 2080ti

question is what to go for..........
