..., because the last time i checked was g-sync a 100buck premium
<nods> I'm soon to upgrade my ancient 19" iiyama, and G-Sync is very tempting (I have an nVidia card).
Currently, the Asus ROG Swift PG248Q is looking like the favourite for my needs - nice specs.

And its a 1920px screen for the price listed for my otherwise equivalent 28" 4K screen.
For a feature for which there is a standardised option already in pmuch all new screens (freesync has been part of the displayport standard for years now).
Which is also far from essential but as far as i see only a "nice to have".

Instead of throwing down money for a feature which is only a propeitary version of something that is a publically accessible standard (yes, i know gsync came first) you could write nvidia an email refusing to do so and asking them to stop being golden cage building monopolists :shrug:

Well, you can also communicate with your wallet and put the gsync premium into a generally better screen :shrug:

My wallet and I have a love/hate relationship - I love spending money, whereas my wallet hates spending money!

You dont have to spend more money if you take the 100$ from gsync and put them instead into a 4k screen upgrade over the FHD screen :ghost:
