    Yes Acer 4k2k XB280HK 28" G-Sync Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor – Black/Red looks like a better option for 4K if you are a Gamer. Long wait if you are pre ordering.

    4k. G-sync. MMmmmmm....just wish it was a higher refresh rate.
    Cheers, will add it in later today. I need to read up a bit on G-Sync - didn't think we were getting it on 60Hz monitors.

    Yeah we should do. Changing the Hz, even under 60 to be in sync with the frames is beneficial.

    Absolutely. In fact this is probably the ideal use of g-sync, where even high end cards may well struggle to deliver a consistent 60 FPS at 4k resolutions currently. As long as the frame rate stays above 30 it should minimise the visual impact of temporary drops in the frame rate into the 40's or so.

    That makes the Acer 4k2k model look like a really good contender, the downside is that it is a TN panel and not an IPS.

    Reasonable priced 4k IPS is a long way off I think though.

    Yeah, but so is the Acer 4k2k G-Sync monitor, it launches 5th September, and hopefully by then we will know more about the Display Port 1.2a standards besides anything could happen over the next seven weeks.

    If by the time the Acer launches I still don't have the answers I'm looking for then I will most likely get the Acer, but I won't be pre-ordering until closer to the time this time around.

    I'm willing to spend up to £800 on a screen, if it's the right screen, so if a 4k 28" IPS that's suitable for gaming comes out between now and then I would consider it, I'll be looking for G-Sync/FreeSync/Active Sync features though.

    You would be better of with the Acer 4k2k XB280HK 28" G-Sync if you have nvidia cards. The AOC monitor has had some timing problems though it should be fixable with a firmware patch. Or like you said earlier wait until September time.

    The other thing with the Acer 4k2k XB280HK is I mostly likely wouldn't need a second GTX 780 Ti as the G-Sync would mean I wouldn't have any frame sync or lag issues even at the lower frame rates.

    4K IPS for under $1000.

    Yes and with it being ASUS more than likely £1000 over here in UK.

    Where in that article does it mention IPS screens? I scanned through it and didn't see it.
