You didn't? Most type of ants are their biggest customer! They just love the XPS Convertible 😄

Actually I don't want 4K... yet. I even have concerns with 2K 120hz. On BF4 my SLI GTX gets around 100fps on max@1080p. At 1440p I fear it would drop to around 80 (haven't tried yet), although one could lower AA a bit due to higher PPI.

So let's scrap 4K, but I would be willing to pay 800-1000€ if there existed an AH-IPS 120hz G-Sync Monitor!
Just looking at the deep black background of the forum is an experience in of itself!

Still the Asus is very tempting. VERY tempting mainly because of G-Sync.

What I was wondering: Shouldn't G-Sync work like a charm on IPS? I mean you would not have 120hz but still smooth pictures or are the 120hz required to give the smoothness?

I have a U2711 it's the bees knees anyway and the response time is not 2ms but I have never had a problem gaming on it...the reverse...the billions of colours are great and I have them for Photoshop work too...etc etc.

Gsync is not so much about response times as refresh rate so it's actually better for IPS slower refresh rate panels yes! Bring it on. would mean less if GPUs were able to put out 120fps on 120hz monitors.

I have to agree with you i think we should be much further along and i think the market on 120-144 hz monitors is slim because of the amount of gpu power you have to put behind them. I feel this pain with 4 gtx 680's 4gb versions when im still straining to get 144 and above on top end games like bmao and bf4. I came to the conclusion that it would take 4 gtx 780 ti's or titan blacks ( feb 18th ) to get a steady 144+ FPS to take advantage of the 144hz lcd.

Now the big question is this because i honestly dont know the answer is will DP make the difference when moving from DVI or HDMI for some? There has to be a reason that the new upcoming g-sync panels are going to only accept DP in and out that no other input will work including for multi monitor use. The question is if DP does make a difference and with v-sync disabled because its no longer needed due to g-sync will this increase the FPS overall across the board thus higher frame rates on mid ranged cards?

This is important to know because as it stands if you cant even come close to breaking 100fps then having a 120/144hz lcd doesn't make any sense. It would also open the market on the sales of higher end lcd's if people knew g-sync was taking the strain off with v-sync no longer needed in games killing frame rates in mid range card users.

I think we need someone from asus to chime in that might be able to shed a little light onto this topic and maybe give a little better clarification. Im also concerned how running 1 g-sync monitor will act with 2 non g-synce's hooked up, will there be any conflict when gaming despite the other 2 lcd's not using the technology.

I do agree that ips's are better at something like a 5ms instead of 1ms but now were talking about a WQHD and not a IPS monitor. So how do we think this will effect them, there has to be a reason that they got the response time as low as possible right? I mean this is brand new for me because before my asus 27in 144hz IPS i just had a slandered lcd. Now making the move to WQHD i expect to see an improvement in certain areas like i saw when i got my IPS panel.

So will we see an improvement when you add WQHD,G-SYNC,120hz+ and 1ms response time when it comes to gaming including a boost in frame rate? Well thats the big question and unfortunately only the people at asus can tell us because im sure they test it extensively. This is the information we need released, when tested on the 10k rig to the 2k rig and what it will take to take full advantage of this panel with games on ultra settings prior to release.

I myself think the blame lies on consoles. the long life cycle paired with so called next gen that still can't even push 1080p@60fps has held back GPU development.

Progress in the last years was abysmal. So much so that 3 ancient Radeon 6950 in CF beat a Titan on pure performance and the Titan which is old by itself still has not been significantly bested.

My hope now lies squarely on Maxwell to provide the power push 1440p with 120fps+ at least in sli.
On the other hand a 60 hz ips gsync panel would be awesome, too for the moment.

with vsync I do feel some input leg albeit very slightly so I might just get the Rog monitor on top anyhow.
but I just decided that I will never give up that ah ips panel ever.

Yes consoles don't help either...

And no, there is no way back from such a good screen in terms of colour and resolution.
