It's such a big deal, you decided to post it twice?

Meh overpriced.

At that price point, would definitely prefer the Swift over this.

You're definately NOT the only one excited over this release!

 

I just purchased one!

 

I debated over this or the Rog Swift.

 

I currently have a 24" 144hz monitor, so the Swift checked alot of boxes for me, and I very likely would have bought it last month if I could have got my hands on one. However, since then I've been hearing about a lot of seemingly fairly common "issues" with the Swift which has raised concerns about that panel for me. Plus, I noticed alot of reviews for this Acer with 4k, G-sync and 1ms GTG. Seems like a good combination as well. Sure I would prefer it to have 120hz+, but it will probably be a year or two before we see those on the market since they require the DP 1.3 spec which was just released.

 

Mostly I'm just itching to try 4k gaming now, and the G-sync is just what that needed IMO, since GPU's in general are currently struggling with 4k gaming content. Even if we had 120hz+ 4k displays available, very high FPS in 4k is extremely expensive to achieve right now. I'm hoping that G-sync will help make up for that as reviews seem to indicate.

 

If you want 4K and G-sync, there is only one choice right now. Guess I'll find out if it was a good one soon enough!

Yes, I agree.  The GPU market will not be ready for 4K @ 120hz for a while.  Quad SLI is just too ridiculous, and doesn't even scale right.  So what's next  8K @ 60hz, or 4K @ 120hz?  I can hardly wait to gaze at the glory of 4K @ 60hz G-sync.
