Acer Delivers World's First 4K Display with NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology
Acer announces the new Acer XB280HK gaming monitor as the world's first 4k2k display featuring NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to provide stunning, ultra-smooth, tear-free imagery and rich colors for outstanding gaming experiences. It features Acer's flicker-less, low-dimming and ComfyView technologies that reduce strain on the eyes for smooth and comfortable extensive viewing.
Part of the new XB0 line of large gaming monitors, the Acer XB280HK is intended to be paired with enthusiast PCs for immersive, ultra high-end gaming. It features a spacious 28-inch LED backlit display with 4k2k Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) that's four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD, and presents stunning high quality images for outstanding visual enjoyment.
With a GeForce GTX-powered PC, NVIDIA G-SYNC display technology synchronizes the display's refresh rates to the GPU to eliminate screen tearing and minimize display stutter and input lag to deliver smoother, faster, more breathtaking gaming experiences. Scenes appear instantly, objects look sharper and more vibrant, and gameplay is more fluid and responsive providing gamers with significant performance advantages.
The Acer XB280HK builds in several features that take into consideration prolonged usage by heavy users such as programmers, writers, and graphic designers:
The Acer XB280HK monitor is made with post-consumer recycled plastic and features a distinctive red ring on the base stand. The multi-functional ErgoStand allows the screen to tilt from -5° to 35° to ensure the best viewing angle; the base rotates 120° from left or right for easy screen sharing; the panel height can be raised by up to 150 mm for optimum comfort; and the screen pivots from horizontal to vertical for more viewing perspectives.
This eco-friendly monitor features a mercury- and arsenic-free panel, LED backlighting for reduced power consumption, and is ENERGY STAR qualified.
The Acer XB280HK starts shipping in Q2 in Pan America, EMEA, Japan, and Taiwan.

- Flicker-less technology - stable power supply eliminates screen flicker particularly beneficial for heavy users by helping to reduce eye strain.
- Low dimming technology - adjust to as low as 15 percent brightness in low light environments to make it easy on the eyes. Standard monitor settings start at 30 percent brightness level.
- ComfyView technology - the non-glare panel reduces reflection from light source.

Since being the first few results when you type in G-Sync Lag in Google is apparently too hard for some people to find.
On my earlier post I even took the time to highlight the wording from the Blur Busters article you quoted that contradict your own statement.
Just seams you got offended because you were wrong. You knew you were wrong as for your clarification in your later statement were you expanded to salvage your original statement.
:lovetpu:
Here is a link to a video review of the LG 34UM95:
Larger then a 28" TN 4K monitor with a better IPS panel but also more expensive at ~$1000 and a lower resolution of 3440x1440,....
I want one of these LG 34UM95 monitors,.... :)
i rather take a 4K screen without G-sync for a bit lower price than this, well if i would go 4k... i am still on a 32" 1080p and it does quite fine (still as someone stated advent of 4k = lowering price for 1440p)
parenthesis: i wanted to say "placebo effect is placebo effect, *i paid more for that module, so it give me better gaming experience* but well .... as far as i've seen of that tech (i have a friend who work in a computer shop who has a ASUS VG248QE and a 780Ti, well nothing so impressive for what he paid in total (would have paid if he didn't take on factory price instead of retail price :roll: )) but it's only my personal oppinion and experience ;)
funny ...
"(3840 x 2160 pixels) that's four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD,"
how 3840 x 2160 is four time 1920x1080 ... isn't this 2kHD
Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q Black 23.8 4k- $999.99
ASUS PQ321Q Black 31.5 4K - $2,499.00
Dell UltraSharp UP3214Q Black 31.5 4K - $2,899.95
But only this Acer display will be overpriced. o_O Dat AMD fanboys logic.
As for those monitors.
Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q Black 23.8 4k- $999.99 = IPS
ASUS PQ321Q Black 31.5 4K - $2,499.00 = IGZO
Dell UltraSharp UP3214Q Black 31.5 4K - $2,899.95 = IGZO
They all have better panels then the one the Acer will likely sport which will be like the Samsung LU28D590DS for $699
Besides, i've only seen really horrible image tearing in like 3 games which were badly designed to begin with, but with the rest, i don't even notice tearing issues. Maybe it's still there, but it's so minor and i'm too occupied with the game i don't even notice it. So i can wait for FreeSync to come into action and then we'll all use it anyway.

Also I have heard from people who actually use more expensive MST 4K monitors that the two streams aren't always in sync which results in screen tearing between the two logical halves of the screen. MST via older dual UHD scalers on these more expensive IPS / IGZO monitors like the Dell UP2414Q, UP3214Q and ASUS PQ321Q are IMO little more then an ugly hack. In due time newer models with IPS / IGZO using the newer UHD scaler found in the Samsung U28D590 will replace the current models.
For now though the irony is that such higher end 4K monitors come with built in screen tearing (of which there is no solution) as a direct result of a flawed hacked implementation,.....and it will cost you an arm and a leg too. All this in a G-Sync thread.
There is no reason to think that once FreeSync becomes a viable solution (of which right now it's NOT) that people won't be able to make use of both technical solutions in one product.
