New monitor recommendation, FreeSync AND GSync?

27-06-2019 12:27AM #1

I currently have an AMD card. I will almost certainly be switching to NVidia in the next 9-12 months. I'm looking to get a new monitor now in advance of building a new PC, so long for one that can do FreeSync for now and GSync for later. 32 inch would be great and probably willing to spend 500-600 euro on it. Would anyone have a recommendation that fit the bill please?

I have the G-sync version of the above monitor and its an absolute cracker. But seeing how Nvidia changed how their cards worked earlier in the year via a driver update, so they could be used with Freesync monitors as well as G-sync, you should be covered both now and with your future upgrades.

Acer XZ321Q is probably a good shout.

Not quite 32" but this is what I have at the moment and I love it.

IPS, 1440p, 144hz, Freesync/Gsync (works fine)

Thanks all for the advice. I think I'm going to go with the LG there.

Quick update, I got the LG monitor, having a hard time getting used to the size but very happy with it anyway. It's so big compared to my old one. Need to have a play around with the settings and the likes but very good first impressions.

I found you really need to sit about half a meter away to get the most from the increased viewing area. It's also recommended to let your GPU's software control the color gambit and that dynamic range is set to full. Then its just a case of making sure v-sync is turned off in games
