I also play that in borderless window so freesync wouldn't apply to it anyway). Now just hoping I get a good sample on the first try.

I have the gsync version. Very nice monitor. Once you've experienced 144hz it's hard to go back.

Looking for a monitor for my PC and Consoles so I need a 144gz one. Problem is I cant seem to find one that I want to pull the trigger on. I have to get it through newegg due to the fact I have a newegg card and can get it interest free for 6 or 12 months. Found this one on newegg for 469 and ironically it was one I was looking at.

Anyone have suggestions, atm I am playing on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889005873

Price range really isnt that important but for the Newegg credit card to be interest free it has to be 249-498 for 6 months interest free or 499 or more for 12 month.

Im also looking at this one:

I'm coming from a 144Hz monitor but with a TN panel. Wanted to experience freesync and see what the big deal about IPS was and I definitely do. The image quality is beautiful on this thing. Looks way better out of the box than my TN did even after calibration. No dead pixels found yet either. About to check some games with freesync and play around with the settings.

I picked up the Acer xb270hu. IPS, 144hz, gsync. It is incredible. Witcher 3 looks ridiculous.

Really impressed with it. Games looks amazing...and movies are incredibly immersive. Very happy with the upgrade to 34 inches and love the curve...

Been looking to bump up to a 144Hz monitor from my 60Hz BenQ to better play PC games along with console games. Looking at getting this monitor and curious if anyone has it or used it that can give feedback
