Lately all i am seeing is GREAT FREESYNC HDR monitors that are out there to buy.
but nothing with GSYNC or HIGH HZ..... been looking for a GSYNC/HDR/144HZ/IPSorOLED monitor for a long time but nothing is there.....
 
Well most of the freesync HDR monitors are not proper HDR10 monitors.. its more gimmicky right now that actually useful. So your not missing anything in that department by being a team green owner.
 
Is this an April fools late joke?

Who the hell would pay ~£2,300 for a 27" LCD display

It's not even a 10bit display it's an 8-bit+FRC panel.
384 zone FALD so that's where the extreme cost is.

PC gaming elitist mugs.




Also, define "great HDR" freesync monitors........ :o

Should have a read at this:

I really don't know why people are waiting around for "true" HDR "monitors", they aren't going to be costing sensible money any time soon.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess on the PC scene. I'm not even sure I'd want an Ultra HD premium screen bleeding my eyes out from 24 inches away!

Yup, not sure I would want a "true" HDR monitor myself now, the experience is awesome and a big improvement to overall IQ but having your screen go to 500+ nits, heck even just 200+ nits from only 1-2 feet away will strain the eyes massively!
 
Guys i already own a great TV LG OLED B6 "55 quality is amazing if only i could get that in a monitor size with high HZ i will be in heaven....
but the tv is not practical to use as a gaming monitor as its to big

though it is outstanding for movies and stuff hehe :)

i dont mind paying a high price for something that would be worth it for me but having 2x 1080TI`s i need a monitor to drive and 60hz is no good.

guess i will be waiting a while yet... until you have experianced the sheer quality of the OLED i have i cant help but wonder if we will see this year the same quality in a smaller form factor 32" would be indeal :)
 
Well there was a Dell ultrasharp 4K OLED monitor released last year, but that was around 3000-3500. No HDR, of course, and 60Hz, and.. umm.. no Gsync and... umm... It's probably sold out everywhere and discontinued, but it isn't too far off the cost of these new monitors that still use LCD.

I also read something about a 21 inch portable ProArt OLED monitor coming soon. Yep, just Googled it, it's the ASUS ProArt PQ22UC. Umm... 4K 21". No pricing or timeframe for that one either.

guys, i would really suggest waiting to see what pricing OcUK comes up with for these before we get too worried about early, speculative, European pricing. i'd still be very surprised to see any of the 27" 4K 144Hz monitors in April/May to be honest, and i think they are still a fair few months away. I'd be happy to be wrong on that, but we will see. i'm sure OcUK will be first to have them in the UK, and I'm sure Gibbo will sort a super-special UK price, so let's not get too carried away with £2500 - 3000 price talk until we really know for sure :)

Oh, the prices are right here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12637/acer-and-asus-gsync-hdr-displays-listed-and-priced

Also they are utter ridiculous.

did you expect otherwise? nvidia gsync tax combined with asus tax isnt going to be a good result.

I am annoyed tftcentral are still describing au optronics AHVA panels as "ips type", they have contrast shift like VA panels, which means they VA type not IPS type. I expect they keep saying "ips type" because thats the vendor line. Native IPS screens dont have contrast shift, whilst these AHVA panels do.

AHVA is an IPS Technology and for all intents and purposes is the same thing, just made by a different panel manufacturer. They don’t have the same contrast shifts (including off centre black crush) that VA panels have at all. Maybe you’re getting it confused with AMVA which IS a VA technology. There’s no practical noticeable difference between similarly spec’d IPS panels from LG Display and AHVA panels from AUO
 
I've also not been very impressed with the QC of the so called, top of the range gaming monitors over the last few years. Acer & Asus I'm looking at you in particular. I've got a bad feeling the next round of premium screens will do nothing to improve this as they add more & more features without improving their QC as it's "good enough".

Nope not getting confused is AHVA

The screens are even marked as IPS in their spec.

I have 2 IPS screens in front of me now, no contrast shift, I have 2 VA screens, contrast shift, and 3 AHVA (claimed IPS) screens, contrast shift.

When I got my first AHVA screen the contrast shift was immediatly obvious but was a £120 screen and still way better than TN so didnt think much of it. Then when I got my benq gw2765ht (here is model number so you can see its not AMVA) I noticed the same thing but a bit less severe, however this was not a £120 screen and cost more than my dell 2209WA which was a proper IPS screen. The dell 2209WA a low end budget IPS screen is still light years ahead of these AHVA panels, has anyone here actually put a IPS and AHVA side by side or just saying its IPS because ASUS etc. tell you so?

My sister has a IPS tv (proper LGS IPS), and again, no contrast shift, you can go extreme on the angle and the picture is as good as head on, on a AHVA you only need to start standing up and contrast will shift (reduction).

Regardless of the technical performance, a AHVA panel been marked as an IPS to a paying customer I think is on dodgy grounds, unless it is a IPS at manufacturing (not similar but actual IPS) then the screen should not be put as IPS on its tech sheet. They could maybe put "emulated IPS" But not just "IPS".

sunbearnz seems to have noticed a difference as well here https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/5xj9ym/difference_between_ahva_vs_ips/

An example I could give I suppose is selling tesco branded crisps as walkers crisps simply because tesco feel they have have managed to make them taste and look "similar", would you be happy with that?

I suppose its possible some bait and switch has occured in all 3 displays I got here so they VA going against what was spec'd at launch but on my benq and the £120 monitor I went to the engineer menu which displays an AU optronics AHVA panel model number.
