No Gsync?

Where's the 24" 144 Gsync £200 screens

No such thing. The one you are after is at £329. The Gsync module add around ~£150 price premium afterall.

Nvidia charges manufacture's a licenaing fee to use their tech and you're also paying for an extra peice of hardware (gsync module). Freesync is built into the display port standard thus the price difference.

Edit, Marine beat me to it

Id like to see a review of the 25" compared to the dell equivalent.

I thought AOC have an awful returns policy ?

They have amazing customer service. They replaced my broken monitor for free when it was out of warranty.

is freesync/gsync really that important anyhow, seem alright.

Since a new monitor is not an upgrade you usally do as often as others, you might as well go all out and get a F/G-sync. That's my point of view

Not for your average joe, I've never found any issue that has made me cry for freesync/gsync. I would say it's a hype thing but then I might get ambushed, sure it's useful if you're really into your games but I haven't tried it so can't comment.

That's what people used to say about SSDs. Even horses vs cars I bet

I thought the 24in one was maybe the new £129 one that was revealed not long ago. Guess its not that one then and might be coming later.

I've heard there is a flaw in monitors supporting freesync in that they can be 144hz but only support freesync in a range (for example) 30hz-90hz thus you can have freesync or 144hz but not at the same time.

I think it might be this specific panel's limitation:
"Now however, we have some complications to deal with. According to a FAQ posted on the ASUS.com website, FreeSync variable refresh rates will only be supported in a range of 35 - 90 Hz.

Enable FreeSync™ in the MG279’s OSD setting, choose PC’s refresh rate timing between 35-90Hz (DP/miniDP only)

On the positive, that 35 Hz lower limit would be the best we have seen on any FreeSync monitor to date. And while the 90 Hz upper limit isn't awful (considering we have seen both 75 Hz and 144 Hz limits on current monitors), it does the beg the question as to why it would be LOWER than the 144 Hz quoted maximum overall refresh rate of the display.

The ASUS MG279Q is an IPS-style display so the quality of the screen should be top notch, but that doesn't alone answer why the upper FreeSync limit and upper refresh rate would not match. We already have the Acer Predator XB270HU G-Sync display in-house that operates at a variable refresh rate as high as 144 Hz with a similar quality IPS display. I've inquired to both AMD and ASUS about the reasoning for this 90 Hz limit, and we'll see if either side cares to comment prior to the display's release."

8 Pack even brands his mrs?

 

[gradyhawks]

These do look nice, would have been great to have seen a 1440p 144hz but there we go.

 

[krooton]

Woo! Might be my 32" VA monitor sorted, once reviews are out

 

[savagesam117]

I want the 34" one!! Why so expensive!?

Looks like it'll be time for me to pick up a current line soon

 

[Finners]

On That 24" freesync monitor, would you price match a competitor? And how would I go about doing that?

Assuming that freesync range is in fact true.

Nope.

Ok...surprising but fair enough
