"We" who? I sure hope you don't think you're speaking for everyone. G-Sync doesn't prevent a monitor from being a monitor. You can plug an AMD card in and it'll still work fine. You won't have the frame rate sync like you would with a Freesync monitor, but the proprietary protocol doesn't stop you from using your monitor as a monitor.

Until if and when Freesync catches up to G-Sync, I'll stick to getting a G-Sync monitor as my next monitor. You can vote with your wallet and not get one. Pretty simple really.

"We" = definately not EVERYone, but strong majority of internet/techies community.

I don't want to sound too morbid, but supporting G-Sync is a slippery slope and in essence you give thumbs up to ISIS with this. I wouldn't!

Weird analogy but I agree with you, we do not want closed standards and every company making the tech only for their own devices, so you could say NVIDIA went rouge (like ISIS) with G-Sync.

Choosing FreeSync is choosing open standards, but I guess some people just like to use HDMI, different connectors for every different phone they bought, different power connectors for laptops... I never understood those people.

I cannot even believe you just said something so mind numbingly fucking stupid.

Ultrawide: great for office and movies. And CERTAIN games. Many older -or modern "indie" games- do not scale too well... I had to fiddle too much to play SABOW and gave my UW to my wife

Curve: marketing gimmick. Gime flat anytime.

Not a marketing gimmick at all. Sit in front of one and play a AAA title and I can assure you, you will be reaching for some new pants.

The curvature is not that big, so is not an issue.

freesync version is $1,099 currently

Get the feeling that nVidia don't allow freesync and G-sync in one unit.

Solidstate89 said:
And yet G-Sync has the distinct advantage at working better at lower framerates than Freesync.

If you don't want to use G-Sync, don't buy an nVidia GPU, and don't buy monitors that explicitly support the standard. There, you're done, and you haven't ruined it for anyone else that might actually want to use it.

G-Sync became a standard ?, umm.

^This, no issue, and no "inmerssion revolution", only that is has a huge cost

Uhhh, yeah? Are you confusing standard with industry standard?

i did not understand this "The panel supports refresh-rates of 60 Hz, with up to 100 Hz via overclocking" ??

Industry standard is always the better of the two, as to me nVidia will not allow freeSync and Gsync in one monitor.

already set on amazon $1040

That is the freesync panel... Pretty sure!

Would of thought so due to the messages

Question:
This is the FreeSync version, correct? And the G-Sync version is designated "XR341CKA", right?
Answer:
This is the Freesync version, the G-Syn version has been labeled as the X34. (edited for changes)

Completely irrelevant to this specific discussion between you and me where you somehow don't believe that G-Sync has a set standard.
