Acer announced its latest premium gaming display, the Predator X34. This 34-inch, curved display offers resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, and features NVIDIA G-SYNC adaptive refresh-rate technology. The panel supports refresh-rates of 60 Hz, with up to 100 Hz via overclocking. The monitor features ZeroFrame technology, an Acer innovation for multi-monitor setups that makes bezel-compensation easier. The display takes input via DisplayPort 1.2 (needed for G-SYNC, besides an NVIDIA GPU), and HDMI 2.0. Its tripod stand allows tilt adjustments. Other features include 7W stereo speakers with DTS surround, and a 4-port USB 3.0 hub. Acer is expected to price this display at US $1,299.

deemonI don't want to sound too morbid, but supporting G-Sync is a slippery slope and in essence you give thumbs up to ISIS with this. I wouldn't!
Weird analogy but I agree with you, we do not want closed standards and every company making the tech only for their own devices, so you could say NVIDIA went rouge (like ISIS) with G-Sync.

Choosing FreeSync is choosing open standards, but I guess some people just like to use HDMI, different connectors for every different phone they bought, different power connectors for laptops... I never understood those people.

I cannot even believe you just said something so mind numbingly fucking stupid.

erixxUltrawide: great for office and movies. And CERTAIN games. Many older -or modern "indie" games- do not scale too well... I had to fiddle too much to play SABOW and gave my UW to my wife :)

Curve: marketing gimmick. Gime flat anytime.
Not a marketing gimmick at all. Sit in front of one and play a AAA title and I can assure you, you will be reaching for some new pants.

Get the feeling that nVidia don't allow freesync and G-sync in one unit.
Solidstate89And yet G-Sync has the distinct advantage at working better at lower framerates than Freesync.

If you don't want to use G-Sync, don't buy an nVidia GPU, and don't buy monitors that explicitly support the standard. There, you're done, and you haven't ruined it for anyone else that might actually want to use it.
G-Sync became a standard ?, umm.

Prima.VeraThe curvature is not that big, so is not an issue.
^This, no issue, and no "inmerssion revolution", only that is has a huge cost ;)

Uhhh, yeah? Are you confusing standard with industry standard?

Industry standard is always the better of the two, as to me nVidia will not allow freeSync and Gsync in one monitor.

Completely irrelevant to this specific discussion between you and me where you somehow don't believe that G-Sync has a set standard.
