In this article slash review we will test out the 599 EURO FreeSync compatible ASUS MG279Q Gaming 27-inch 2560x1440 monitor that can do 144Hz. Combined with FreeSync, AMD eliminates stutter and tearing while gaming. The ASUS MG279Q Gaming is a spectacular IPS panel based monitor with great image quality and heaps of connectivity.

144hz or Freesync?
Is it possible to use Freesync, when the monitor is set to 144hz? Or do you constantly have to have it at 90hz (even when not gaming) to be able to use Freesync?
Would be nice if you could just set it, that it will jump to 144hz when you're out of Freesync range...

Not impressive, freesync isn't good as gsync, i have an awesome TN monitor but i want to try IPS 1440p, 144hz, no input lag, OLED i guess i have to wait till 2017.

Hilbert, I believe this is wrong in the article:
"A quick note; if you're thinking of purchasing a FreeSync monitor then make sure your Radeon graphics card is compatible, basically anything newer than the Radeon R9 280 / 290 series is supported."
It should be any Radeon series R9280/290 or newer is supported.
From the actual requirements for Freesync:
All AMD Radeon™ graphics cards in the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000, HD 8000, R7 or R9 Series will support AMD FreeSync™ technology for video playback and power-saving purposes. The AMD Radeon™ R9 295X2, 290X, R9 290, R9 285, R7 260X and R7 260 GPUs additionally feature updated display controllers that will support dynamic refresh rates during gaming.

I have been after a new monitor, 2k res and at least 120Hz and this seems like the one!
I have not long paid £190 for my current 27" Sasmung curved screen but Its payday this weekend and I think I might order this and sell my Samsung!
