AOC To Launch two 1440p monitors with 0.5 ms response time in 2018
As the story titles states, AOC will be releasing two 1440p monitors that will get an ultra-low 0.5 ms response time. They will do so in the year 2018. These will be 27" TN based monitors at 2560x1440.
Once model will offer FreeSync2 (AG273QCX), the other is a G-Sync model (AG273QCG). The monitors will be HDR compatible (I have no specs on that though). Refresh rates are listed at 165 Hz. The AMD FreeSync 2 model is due for release in April 2018, the G-Sync in May 2018.

So one is TN with HDR and the other VA without HDR. Bummer.

Many sites report 400 nits (cd/m²) as maximum brigntness for AG273QCX so looks like this is just another false advertised "HDR" monitor which can take HDR signal, but can't reproduce high-dynamic-range (HDR) image on the screen.
Nvidia use specifications from Ultra HD Premium and HDR10 standard for "G-SYNC HDR". Screenshot shows "G-SYNC" only, so second monitor is definetelly not HDR.

Related Information:
Human eye experiences up to 90 000 nits (cd/m²) per day. These popular standards exists to cover this:
* HDR10 for LED (0.05 nits black, ≥1000 nits peak, 10-bit color depth)
* HDR10 for OLED (0.0005 nits black, ≥540 nits peak, 10-bit color depth)
* Dolby Vision for Cinema (0 nits black, ≥4000 nits peak, 12-bit color depth)
"Ultra HD Premium" standard from UHD Alliance with HDR range:
* HDR10 + 3840×2160 resolution, ≥90% DCI-P3 color space)

TN and HDR, that's some tough relationship.

Why do people get so worked up over the response time of panels? What matters is the response time of the entire chain, and the response time of the panel is only a small fraction of that total. If you think you can tell the difference is a four millisecond panel and a 0.5 millisecond panel, much less the difference between a 1 ms and .5 ms panel, then you need to realize that it's in your head, and that you are falling for marketing tactics.

Guess I'll have to wait yet another year for my monitor upgrade, although I will most likely NOT wait that long for another damn TN panel. My only hope is they somehow refine the older generation of IPS 1440p g-sync panels to not be such an extreme lottery like it is now.
