Monitors To 4k or not to 4k ?

rajan1311 · Oct 27, 2015

Pretty sure it won't be 60... At best I guess they will bring it down by 2k.

BTW, got a mail from prime, the acer is available and shipping costs Rs 380 to Bangalore.

What's the price of the Acer? I might be interested.

Wow nice price. The only issue is a single dp input.

I'm bailing for the moment. 70k is a bit too much right now.

None if you are looking for a g-sync display. For me, I already have a 27 inch though 60Hz display so I'm not in a hurry to be honest. Would have loved to buy another asus display if the price was a bit saner.

okay let me ask you this , does Gsync and the high refresh rate really enhance the FPS gaming experience ? ive used large tvs as monitors , so im sure
i want to know if these features justify the higher price premium

It improves perceived input lag - that is the biggest benefit. Useful if you play fps games.

source ? both use the same panel. <-wrong.
So the hexus review was wrong I guess.

They've tested both the asus and acer. Look at the gamma tracking and deltaE of the asus compared to the acer.
