buoyancy , that ' s what floats boats . <| sep |> It doesnt limit colors . Ezio says otherwise . They released a bunch of Professional colorwork monitors , and specifically complained they cannot ship them with Gsync regardless of demand , because Gsync limits color calibration to what Nvidia offers , and cannot be fine tuned in the factory . Nexius also complained of the same thing . That ' s two monitor manufacturers PUBLICLY complaining about lack of support in the modules . Who knows what other companies are saying in private . As for your extreme examples of specifics , no , the $ 119 model isn ' t fucking 180 hz . That ' s moronic . No shit more expensive models look better or have more cutting edge support . But the cheapest should not be cutting edge . And you ' re saying two of the same models aren ' t $ 200 price difference , sure , they aren ' t . But the two Acer models the cheapest gsync is $ 120 cheaper . Currently there ' s a 160 hz freesync , but it ' s also a 219 35 inch curved ultrawide , for $ 650 . But you probably don ' t care because it ' s not the biggest epeen number . Yes , there are many 144 hz IPS Freesync monitors , the xf 270 hu that can be hit or miss as you mentioned , and the Acer XZ 271 has 48144 hz , BenQ has a VA panel that does 44144 hz , LG has the 34 UC 79 G 34 inch ultrawide 1080 p 50144 hz , viewsonic has a few IPS monitors in 1080 and 1440 p with 144 hz . I ' ve only ever heard complaints about the xf 270 hu you mention . And IMO people looking for IPS aren ' t also going to be pushing over 144 hz , because IPS delay is going to be higher than a TN delay , just due to the technology . At over 165 hz you ' re looking at shorter update rates than IPS can even update . As for your comment on the xb 241 h , that ' s kinda a given , being that it ' s literally the cheapest gsync you can buy . It ' s not going to be the most premium product .
