Acer Announces XG270HU Monitor with AMD Freesync
The Acer XG270HU gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync technology and support for AMD Radeon R-Series GPU eliminates screen tearing and stuttering to offer users an ultra-smooth gaming experience. This 27-inch monitor also comes with WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a fast 144Hz refresh rate, and an edge-to-edge frameless design for enhanced gaming performance and seamless viewing.
With FreeSync technology, the XG270HU monitor's frames are synced with the graphics card's frames to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. This technology minimizes lag and latency, thereby offering ultra-smooth action sequences that are essential for enjoying the latest games. The XG270HU's edge-to-edge frameless display maximizes the viewing area and affords a seamless viewing experience for multi-monitor setups. Its fast 1ms response time assures that actions or dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without smearing or ghosting effects.
The XG270HU is adorned with Acer's characteristic gaming visual identity with a bold orange strip along the bottom horizontal frame and outlines the base stand. For easy connectivity, the monitor includes HDMI 2.0, dual-link DVI, DisplayPort 1.2, and 2 x 2W speakers.
To reduce eye strain and potential eye damage from prolonged viewing, the XG270HU is built with Acer EyeProtect technologies. This includes flicker-less technology that eliminates screen flicker through a stable supply of power; ComfyView which reduces reflection from ambient light sources on the non-glare panel, low-dimming technology that adjusts screen brightness when working in non-optimal lighting conditions, and a blue light filter to reduce blue light exposure.

So what's the price going to be I wonder, also would love to see some 4K variants with Freesync.
I don't buy stuff based solely on marketing speak and specs. I have more sense than that.
Now Gsync, that adds to the pricetag....quite a bit as well, that needs some convincing.Why? I mean the slowest fps content are those 24 fps movies, that is considered the minimum for motion.
And Im sure this monitor like any other can do that.
I gladly pay more for a better experience.
Nvidia buys ALTERA Arria V chips for the G-Sync module. Nvidia doesn't make anything. Nvidia was asking vendors to gut the panel. Replace internals for a DD board with MXM module attachment. Then they would qualify for a G-Sync module to be provided to them. They probably also charging extra cost for calibration which adds to the cost.
Vesa Adaptive-Sync T-Con suppliers just had to do minor adjustments to the T-Cons they were already selling to monitor vendors. Nothing really changes in the supply chain just the T-Con are newer capable models. The added cost is minimal.
I think I saw similar behaviour with mobile gsync in that leaked nvidia drivers at pcper:
Time to wait for freesync 4k IPS.
Too me either of them are way to early to buy in to, sooner or later their be Freesync\GSync combined unless NV play a hole ooh i mean if some one play a hole..
I think Freesync is limited to 40hz/fps at lowest, g-sync i know can go down to 30.Least with G-sync, nvidia can ADD features to it at will, the standard route amd went well they are limited to what standard allows. New tech is always expensive at first. Gotta praise Nvidia for pushing this tech in to the market, well over due for something new on monitor side that hasn't had anything big since LCD monitors.
