News - AOC launches g2460Pg 24-inch Nvidia G-SYNC gaming monitor

[HEXUS]

TN panel monitor also offers a refresh rate of 144Hz and a response time of 1ms.

Anyone with experience with a Nvidia G-Sync monitor, can you recommend this over the previous model? £170 premium is a lot...

[krazy_olie]

At that sort of premium you'd probably be better off just spending it on additional GPU power so that you don't suffer the frame rate drops in the first place.

Can't wait until 30"+ 4k gsyncs come out... bring it!

[Dottorrent]

It's pointless now, since the new Display port standard already has all the features of G-Sync.

1080p = fail
TN panel = fail

[xslavic]

yeah,2ms 60hz TN for me is pretty good.98% sRGB.

few months to go on that. Q4 probably.

According to AMD, their solution has advantage in that it doesn't buffer a frame. OTOH monitor manufacturers haven't made much noise about it...

It's hardly pointless, it's just a competitor. Freesync is just a more 'open' implementation of it with its own twists....but this causes it's own issue.

Nvidia will probably run with G-Sync
AMD (maybe Intel) will run with Freesync

At which point you simply have two competing standards. The public really won't care which is 'open', as if Nvidia don't support Freesync, you have a simple Nv/AMD decision when buying the monitor. As the old saying goes, "The great things about standards is that there are so many of them!".

The Freesync version will still need hardware level implementation like G-sync, with supporting firmware.

Nvidia has always been about control, so I personally doubt they will support Freesync, but we'll see.

As much as it's easy to hate on Nvidia for this, creating their own standard did allow them to define how they wanted it without outsider interference and bring it to market under their control, with certified working partners. AMD have nothing on the market currently. That's the price of being first sometimes and it doesn't always serve the end user best.

Here's a good place to look if you're confused about all the different syncs out there toptengamer.squidoo.com/top-g-sync-monitors .

I think nVidia will lose too many sales if they don't offer full Display Port 1.2a compatibility as professional users would want to make sure that their hardware is fully compatible with current standards. So if a new VESA standard comes out for professional workstation monitors and one GPU upgrade option doesn't support it whilst another does, what do you think that professional would be buying?

But we've seen devices for years not support the features that are added, so don't get too hopeful.
Lots of modern TV's still can't use ethernet over HDMI. Try getting a modern GPU (NV/AMD) to route ethernet over its HDMI port....just because it's there doesn't mean it'll be implemented.

As for professional users - which ones exactly? G-sync is aimed at gamers. I do game dev, and while g-sync is nice for in engine stuff, it's really not an issue for us. It's *in* game that it's used for. Other areas are barely applicable to G-sync / FS.

Good point.
