Uhm. All these Asus monitors are gaming.

 

 

Asus makes pro grade and consumer versions of monitors too...

And? We're talking about their gaming monitors. Dell's "gaming" monitors aren't branded as such because they don't need to be. Nearly all of Dell's recent monitor lineups have had the specs of a gaming monitor(high refresh rates, low response times) and they don't have crappy branding all over them. Asus does.

I never asked Dell to brand their monitors as gaming. I just want them to make some.

the retarted thing is that Nvidia has "freesync" in their Gsync laptops. These laptops, atleast many of them, doesnt have the module. Instead they use a driver based solution, aka Freesync.

 

That is because laptops have generally had more advanced scalers to begin with. For power-saving reasons (among other things). So the technology was easier to implement there. The whole reason Nvidia used the FPGA's was because scalertech simply wasn't capable of variable refresh on desktop monitors.

 

Though the myth that you can "unlock" gsync on laptops has been busted. You had a good point, but now you jumped the shark and make it sound way more nefarious than it is.

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.

40% of 800k total "gaming" out of however many total monitors.

Its a neat number to throw out into space, but I don't know how relevant it is when we don't know how big the monitor space is. And there's a relatively small number of players in the "gaming" monitor market and the market itself is so young we'll probably see many drastic shifts.

 

about 130M monitors are shipped per year http://www.statista.com/statistics/352891/global-pc-monitor-shipments-by-quarter/

 

but let's not forget asus makes all sorts of monitors and I've seen plenty around

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

How many people do you think are going to buy a 700$ monitor. This thread is about market share, you need a value monitor to compete for market share not an overpriced one.

yes. So Dell makes one gaming monitor. How can they compete agains Asus who have the best selling value gaming monitor VG248QE and all those ROG monitors? 

 

Not to mention BenQ.

You could classify a gaming monitor as one with freesync or gsync, I know there are other monitors 'gaming' labeled but freesync and gsync are both designed to run on high end video cards and almost specifically for games. However I doubt those numbers represent that, and I'd say that includes budget $100-$200 'gaming' monitors which are really not any different to a normal business one.

Those are probably not the cheapest Freesync monitors...

 

And yeah, like i said. It's the lacking quality control that makes people avoid it. Many people criticise Nvidia for making everything a closed system, but it's the only way you can guarantee a certain quality. Yes they can make their GPU's ready for Freesync, but they have no control over that market (and not in a nefarious way) so they can't guarantee their standard of quality. Much like not giving SLI certifications to 16x4x boards.

 

I understand their position, it's a smart position. It enforces consumer confidence (because nvidia is confident about their product), and is what makes Nvidia more succesful. Yes AMD does everything "open source" and "free". But tbh, open source is way overrated. It rarely goes anywhere and usually means the ones who want to put it onto the market have to invest the R&D, instead of AMD. With the G-sync monitors, companies can just simply create a plain monitor, add the module wholesale and put it onto the market.

 

And which person, wanting to shell out 600-800 euro for a monitor wants to run a risk of getting some 75-90hz panel. When 100 euro more would've gotten him a 1-144hz panel.

then buy from reputable monitor manufacturers and dont buy from chinezemonitors4cheap LLC

But then the price difference isn't as big anymore.

Can you give me an example of a 1-144hz Freesync panel vs. a G-sync panel?

as of yet Freesync tops out at 35-90Hz

 

Acer XG270HU and BenQ XL2730Z go from 9-144hz.

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

Thank you, I never saw those in my area. Unfortunately I only see the both listed as 40-144hz, not 9-144Hz Acer is a no buy because of their silly pixel warranty where anything under 15 dead pixels isn't a problem apparently.

 

Hopefully they address that, and BenQ also brings out the monitor with IPS/AMV-like. If they do, it's definitely buy for me if Polaris lives up the performance claims :D

40-140hz is outdated info since the latest AMD drivers.

 

Anyway, I have the XG270HU myself, 0 dead pixels and I can confirm Freesync works down to 9 FPS.

Ah good to know. Sadly I'll be avoiding Acer. After years of luck, they've been terrible lately, and cost me lot of money when it comes to monitors. Guess I've just been extremely unlucky with them. I hope we see some IPS/AMV versions out when Polaris hits.

 

Rather interested in trying AMD again.
