Aparently this is not a free-sync monitor so...one monitor then. I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

Posted October 4, 2015 That is a terrible product. 1080P at that price is equal to LG 34" curved. when I just checked NeweggSo lets analyse this review. Linus prefaces it with. Every time you are sold a product "For Gaming" it usually sucks.He then goes on about how good this product is colour wise. which is fine. says there are not enough pixels. he also says he's sick (while slamming fist) of marketers saying things are optimised for gaming. Well he does exactly that at the end of the video. WTF Linus. He then asks what does that even mean. Well you just said it at the end its your new gaming monitor? And then says the resolution is silly for that size of screen. But then at the end endorses the product saying its his new "gaming monitor" I mean which is it Linus ? and for $900-1,099 did you get to keep this as well Linus?

Posted October 4, 2015 Linus that's like the 2nd Free-sync monitor in a row where you haven't told us how well free-sync works on it. think he mentoined a few times that it is basicly the same as nvidea Gsync and thus doesnt really bother making a video on it. May the light have your back and your ISO low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 4, 2015 $900 for that?! No, thanks I will stick to my 23" 1080P display that works just fine. Also are people actually buying curved monitors? I just want that fad to go away just like 3D TV...

Posted October 4, 2015 1) no mention on the Freesync frequency range? Kind of important, no? 2) It's a negative that the power supply is separate? Seriously? That is a plus! Gets the heat away, makes the monitor smaller, and if the power supply fails, which is the #1 most likely thing TO fail in a monitor, you can get another one without having to RMA an entire monitor! Wtf.. how is it a negative? I think I'm done with Linus' reviews.. lacking information and just straight up wrong priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a more accurate review. Linus squatting down on it and leaving a steaming pile of poop on it How did Linus let them get away with endorsing this. if you ever needed proof his impartiality isnt for sale. look at this review. he hsaid all gaming things suck, and that this is his new gaming monitor No USB. no HDMI 2.0 for a 144hz. its 1080P at that size. scaling is bad, not enough pixels. But its his new "gaming monitor" that is not objective at all. he shat on it. that product should be sent back with a note. dont send me any more Junk.

Posted October 5, 2015 This isn't a freesnyc Monitor or is it? Here it says yes, all the reviews I hade read don't mention it. Yeah, it doesn't support freesync.
