It's an older monitor from as far as I can see and I have no clue if the freesync on it will be compatible with g-sync, but for $200 is it a good deal?

What are the specs? Also, FreeSync isn't be compatible with G-Sync, but you can typically get an Nvidia GPU to use FreeSync with a bit of tinkering. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

As far as I can tell, its Free-sync, 1440p, 144hz, IPS (not 100% on that), 1ms response, and 27".

In that case, that's a pretty fantastic deal. New monitors with similar specs run about ~400 USD.

it's a tn panel, u can get a new VA on newegg right now for 250-280usd with better color coverage, so 200usd is a hard no.

 

Pretty sure if u had the time to look up specific ips model that are more updated you can find one for 200used.

 

i've seen this for 250usd new on ebay before
