Im 100% sure you need a converter. I bought the ACER 27 Displayport one month ago. Same problem.
I bought this one StarTech Converter though an amazon warehouse deal and worked perfectly.
G-Sync is the god-level gaming upgrade.

It works for your PS4 to your monitor? Because it will definitely work on a PC, but not sure about a PS4.

I havent tested out my PS4 but can check tonight. Will post tonight.

Actually I found this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004I6IYSM/?tag=neogaf0e-20, which states directly that it is compatible with PS4. More expensive though.
Somebody on Amazon.de reports that it worked fine for his Xbox One on the Acer XB270H so I guess it will work with PS4 as well. But I wonder, do you use some sort of DP splitter or anything? I imagine it would be a huge hassle to constantly resetup this thing.

So what's the good word on the next generation of 21:9s?
I noticed mentions of VA panels a few pages back. Any word on exciting upcoming monitors this year? I'm considering a g-sync purchase but I'd rather hold off if better tech is on the horizon.
A bit of research led me to Lenovo Y27g, but I'd prefer a non-curved, higher than 1080 solution.

Just checked it out. PS4 works fine as expected.
I dont use a splitter i just change the cables. I rarely use my PS4 anyways.
We haven't heard anything new about monitors recently, but a lot of VA high-refresh panels are in production (or entering production). The assumption is that those are not being made just to sit in warehouses

Sounds good, thank you.
Guess I'll hold off for more announcements.
So...
As much as I loved G-SYNC I decided to return the Dell monitor because the colors are simply bad and I hate having to mess around with color profiles.
I guess I'm waiting for a VA panel now then... because I have tried all the G-SYNC 27" panels out there and have not been happy at all with them.
Problem now though... I have no monitor (sold my old monitor).
What do you guys suggest I pickup to bridge the gap?

Looks great, ordered.
It's completely eliminated screen tearing for me with v-sync off in pretty much every game, so it should be noticeable unless you've never been able to see screen tearing.
I dont get tearing, but that's also because I have a 144hz monitor so the times that games go over that limit are rare. I only ever got tearing with vsync off when games went over the refresh rate and if Im not mistaken, gsync doesnt even work if the game you're running has a higher framerate than the refresh rate.
Even then, one of the big selling points I heard about gsync was that it reduced the micro stutter that makes it very noticeable when you have an immediate shift in framerate, say from 80-60 frames. It doesnt seem like it made these shifts any less noticeable.

I really need a 16:10 monitor with this.
That's interesting. If it's really that noticeable it might be a game/hardware thing. Tearing can still happen if the fps is below refresh rate.
If you're not sensitive, screen tear can be hard to see at 144. Maybe you don't need a G-Sync monitor.
Does it not work with Overwatch? I already know that unless you lock your framerate to 59FPS in Witcher 3 gsync doesnt do anything, so I can excuse that game, but I wouldve thought it would at least have an effect on my Overwatch matches.
It does. What is your FPS usually running at?
Maybe try out the G-Sync Pendulum demo and see whether G-Sync is doing what you want it to do.
Just looking into G-Sync as an upgrade (I play at 4K60fps with a GTX 1080, so it doesn't always hit 60fps.) Screen tearing does not bother me much at all, even when very noticeable - should I still be looking into that, or would most of the benefit be gone? My main reason would be for it to feel smoother when dropping from 60 to 45 or so.
Generally average 100fps Id say. I min around 70 so when it does get to those transition points the feeling is extremely noticeable. Once I get back from work I'll run with gsync and vsync off to see if I notice anything different.
Never knew there was a demo for gsync. I'll try it out, thanks.
It's listed under Monitor Technology. You won't find it as an option under Vsync. Vsync can be enabled and disabled independently of G-Sync.
Most displays have an LED that changes colour depending on the mode in use. If yours doesn't, then you can enable the on screen indicator. Open NVCP go to the Display menu at the top of the window.
G-Sync is found in the "Monitor Technology" tab, not "VSync" in 3D settings.
Make sure thee Global setting is set to G-Sync, in conjunction to having it enabled on the G-Sync tab itself.
My monitor's OSD states what technology is current running, so try popping and checking if it reports G-Sync.
EDIT: riflen beat me
Gsync is not an option in the vsync drop down menu. It has its own item in the global settings, but forgot what's it's called; it's usually in the middle of the list.
EDIT: as e90Mark and riflen states ^^
I didnt know this either. I'll check if my monitor has this, because maybe gsync isnt on at all.

What's the difference on this Amazon page:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MSOND8C/?tag=neogaf0e-20
between WQHD 178* and WQHD 1ms?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MSOND8C/?tag=neogaf0e-20
between WQHD 178* and WQHD 1ms?
The WQHD 1ms uses a TN panel, which has the fastest response time.
The WQHD 178* uses an IPS, which has more accurate colors that stay consistent from a wider viewing angle.
It's up to you to decide which is more important to you.

Dumb question. Can I set games up on a case-by-case basis, that will have ulmb or g-sync enabled? Or will I have to switch between the setting every time ?
You can set games up on a case-by-case basis in NCP.

G-sync has definitely eliminated this for me so you might wanna look at your settings.

Some of you guys should probably download this G-Sync Pendulum demo as well both to test it out and see just how it improves things. Maybe it should even be added to the OP or something.

I pulled the trigger on a WQHD 178* should have it on Friday. Cannot wait to join the Gsync 1440p 144hz IPS club. Expecting big things replacing a 1080p 60hz monitor.
You're in for a treat since you're getting all those amazing technologies all at once versus just having a high refresh monitor prior. You will wonder why you didn't jump in sooner.
Um... why won't it let me tick the G-Sync box inside this demo?

Any G-Sync 4K / GTX 1080 users here? I'm still waffling between the Acer XB271HK and the Asus PG27AQ but feeling the pressure more than ever now that I actually have a video card in hand. Leaning towards the Acer due to some recs here...
Yes. Doing a clean install of new Geforce drivers fixed it though.
Guys I have a problem.
I'm using a XB270HU. It's fine and I love it. I have Vsync ON in control panel and vsync off in-game. The thing I noticed is that I have increased input lag (mouse feels like crap) when I'm in FULLSCREEN. When I use Borderless windows it's waaaay more smooth and direct input. I am not seeing any tearing in either mode so I guess Gsync is working.
Anyone know what's up ? I want to believe it's placebo, but unfortunately it's not I've been doing many tests.

https://www.sven.de/dpi/
1920 x 1080 @ 25" = 88.12 PPI
2560 x 1440 @ 35" = 83.92 PPI
The 1080p monitor will have slightly higher PPI (I'm assuming you meant QHD, not QUHD).
So I just got my S2716DG today and I've immediately ran into some really, really strange issues.
1. First off, plugging this monitor into my GTX970's display port instantly turned on my PC. Weird. EDIT: Turns out it wasn't plugging the monitor into the display port that caused this, it was plugging the monitor's USB extender plug into my computer that caused this.
2. When the monitor is plugged into my computer, I cannot turn my PC off. The second my PC turns off, it will turn itself back on again. Super weird. EDIT: Like above, this stops happening when I unplug the USB extender.
3. When I turn the monitor off with the power button, my entire machine blinks and it's as if I've completely removed the monitor entirely - icons are shifted around, it completely goes away on the list of displays in the NVIDIA control panel, etc, etc. This is both weird AND annoying to me, given that this is not the case with any monitor I've ever used. I turn it off, the pc still detects it. EDIT: this....went away without me doing anything. Huh.
4. Gsync does not work in windowed borderless mode in Overwatch - it's permanently locking my framerate at 60. In the NVIDIA control panel, I have it set to work in both windowed and full screen. Is this because I have multiple monitors...? EDIT: had to go into the display adapter's settings and manually set the refresh rate to 144hz - figured this would have been done automatically :/
Anyone have any suggestions? I've never ever seen these kinds of problems with any monitor I've ever owned before, so this is rather concerning. I have a EVGA GTX 970 FTW+, up to date drivers, Windows 10. For what it's worth, I've also noticed that the NVIDIA control panel is SUPER slow and unresponsive.
EDIT: Found the cause of the issues, solved most of them....turns out my motherboard's USB 3.0 functionality doesn't seem to exist on Windows 10. No drivers on Gigabyte's website for them, either. I won't be able to use the USB ports on the side of the monitor. Oh well

Dell U2515H came in today. Dark yellow back light bleeding in the bottom right corner, looks like total shit.
I am so fucking sick of these IPS monitors...
I don't know what to do now once I return this one.
Looks worse in the photo obviously, but the bottom right is noticeable in any slightly dark scene.

Any lag? these converters tend to add some latency from my experience which makes it pointless for gaming.
