    I owned both, and I would recommend the RX480. With RX480 u can get adaptive sync for less. I don't live in the US so I'm going to give examples with my currency. Cheapest 144hz Gsync monitor here is RM1,800, and cheapest 144hz Freesync costs RM1,200, a difference of RM600 which is a lot. Disregard the benchmarks, the practical experience of both is almost identical, except when I'm playing GTA V, where the 1060 hovers around 80+ fps stable while the RX480 is a bit lower, 60-70. Most of the games have similar experience among these 2 cards. Benchmarks may show a difference of around 10fps between the 2, but 95fps vs 88fps won't be noticeable, if you're that picky. Solid RX480 recommendation from me just because of affordable adaptive Freesync that u might want to get in the future. My simple verdict for adaptive sync is everyone should have it, it's noticeable, it's free, it's amazing, and if you have extra to spend, Gsync is also worth it.

    It happens when I had 2x4 RAM as well. I had two PC, both with 2x4, I just take one 4GB RAM from the other PC and make my main 12GB, so thats why.

    When I turn on my computer, it would sometimes be stuck at the motherboard splash screen and just stays there. Pressing any buttons like F2, Del, F11 doesn't work when it happens. But a reset (press reset button) always works and launch the PC into desktop. It's not a big problem but definitely an annoying one. I find myself switching on the PC, go get water and expect the PC to be ready in desktop but it's stuck on the mobo splash and requires a reset.

    What's the model/brand of the VA panel you got?

    I dont have a freesync compatible card (GTX1060), but my line problem went away. What I did was just leave it at 75hz mode forever. I noticed the lines are most evident when you first switched to Freesync mode, but goes away as time passes. It still has lines now but it's no where as severe as before and pretty much unnoticable.

    Samsung PLS are known for having terrible backlight bleed, I've seen several reviews about backlight bleed and they are bad. I will be getting the AOC G2460PG soon when it releases in my country, its alrdy in the country but they are still preparing to release it. 144hz Gsync and TN which means no backlight bleeding (less degree compared to IPS). The frustrating thing is there is almost no perfect monitor on the market. Even the very expensive Predator or LG Ultrawides that cost over a thousand dollars have backlight bleeding and other defects. Its a gamble all over the monitor market. It makes it more important to buy from a brand that has good customer service due to how random the quality of panels can be

    Tried with DVI and HDMI and both produced the same "line" problem. From your experiment with the Asus one, this may be a problem with all cheap IPS panels. If it's a property of IPS, then I couldn't imagine the ACER Predator series which has 144hz refresh rate and an IPS panel, the lines must be super crazy. One of my LG 23MP68VQ recently started having this problem, where after immediately switching on the monitor, motion would produce image noise, so you would see image noise while viewing videos and moving objects. It goes away after like an hour after switching on. I'm bringing my LG to their service centre for warranty as it has the image noise issue and backlight bleeding on the top left corner. I googled about LG's customer service and they seem to have a bad reputation. I can conclude, that cheaper IPS panels at this price range, regardless of brand, would not give us a good IPS experience. On paper, they all sound almost perfect, with such a price, you get Freesync, IPS and other high end features, but there's always a flaw.

    I would consider this monitor as perfect if it doesn't have this problem. The monitor can even run at 75hz without an AMD card, which is great. Unfortunately the 75hz refresh rate comes with the line problem. This monitor is priced right, looks great aesthetically, thin bezels, no power brick, great quality, low backlight bleed (but not absent), almost getting a 10/10, overall a very good monitor

    Casually watching a LTT video and this happens

    Wow, how did you even do that with photoshop? cos it's exactly how the problem looks like. The pictures u posted illustrated the problem perfectly. I've owned other IPS and it's not an IPS issue. Also I have 2 of these displays now and both have the same problem at higher refresh rates. With 2 of my displays and your problem, I've concluded that this is a design flaw or the model's inherent flaws. I've since then accepted it as a decent 60hz panel but not a good Freesync and 75hz panel. Sadly, this problem is so rare, non existent even, that googling and checking forums provided no information whatsoever. Glad to know you're not alone mate.

    I'm using an LG 23MP68VQ which has Freesync capabilities at 75hz. By default, Freesync is off and the panel runs at 60hz. With a switch in the OSD, Freesync is on and the panel runs at 75hz. But when it runs at 75hz, everything on screen becomes crisp and vertical lines appear on blue colors. The lines are systematically arranged and looks like the grid of the panel itself. When you look really close at a monitor you would see grids and pixels, that kind of lines, but vertically and only on blue or yellow colour. 60hz has no problem but 75hz has this faint lines on blue/yellow color problem. The lines are really faint but noticable. I have no idea how to deal with this, google and the Internet has no information about this. I wish I can show you guys a picture, but my camera isnt accurate enough to show the problems, it has to be seen by the naked eye.

    no, I will check that, nvr thought of it haha

    I'm from Malaysia and wanted to buy a monitor from Amazon. I'm afraid that an item as fragile as a monitor screen can be broken on the journey here. Is there any compensation from Amazon in case anything bad happen to my monitor?

    1st: Yes, found couple sellers/shop selling them, availability, check 2nd: Mainly for productivity, multiple tabs, multiple apps on screen. I would fire up a game just to see how it looks but nt really my main focus. I like my games super smooth and running games on a single 1080p would just spare so much more power to ensure maximum smoothness 3rd: I want to, but can be delayed, want it 70%, not a super must 4th: definitely
