Hope it underclocks to 90 hz without affecting the sync part of it.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

The red is kinda tacky. And why don't they offer a freesync version of their 144hzips panel?

Why did they have to make it red? Just to advertise AMD? It looks like something that would go with an all red PC for 14 year olds...

Looks Orange but I have to agree the color choice is pretty atrocious. Clashes with nearly every color scheme and is distracting af too.

Oh the color, it disappoints.

 

But everything else looks fantastic. Hopefully AMD's estimation of $100 less than a comparable G-SYNC monitor stays true. Even if it does though, this monitor is still really expensive at around $699.99 ($100 less than the ROG SWIFT PG278Q)

I was really excited because I hoped it will feature that IPS like panel but then I saw TN and that color and now I am sad :( .

Couldn't it just be black?

Awesome. Lets get a g-sync free-sync price war going, that'd be nice.

What the hell is a TN+ panel? Is it just a advertising name? Or is it better than TN in some way?

Damn marketing these days, I guess :)

It's gorgeous!.... But that red bezel.... just..... no.... The red bezel is very ugly in my opinion. Hope they have a black or white option.

Guys, the bezel isn't red, its orange. Orange is one of Acer's theme colors. Look at some of their older monitors, and you'll find the same thing. Such as:
