ASUS ROG announces new Strix XG HDR Gaming Monitor Lineup
Trio of high-refresh rate and up to 4K-resolution gaming monitors with FreeSync 2 HDR, the new Strix XG HDR gaming monitor lineup, a trio of FreeSync 2 HDR monitors built for high-refresh rate and stutter-free gaming in up to 4K resolution or 144Hz refresh rates.
AMD’s first-generation FreeSync introduced a variable refresh rate capability that eliminated the screen tearing and stuttering artifacts caused by turning v-sync off or on. Compatible monitors could match their refresh to the graphics card’s frame rate within a pre-defined range. Below the lower threshold of that range, however, v-sync kicked back in and caused judder. FreeSync 2 HDR delivers smoother gameplay below the variable refresh range using a feature called Low Framerate Compensation. The LFC algorithm monitors performance and adaptively inserts frames to maintain fluid animation where v-sync would have caused choppy behavior. LFC is great to have, particularly at a demanding resolution like 4K. But a wide variable refresh range between 48 and 144Hz means most of the time gaming is spent in these ROG Strix XG monitors’ sweet spot, taking advantage of AMD’s FreeSync technology with Radeon RX graphics cards.

Who cares about G-Sync now that Nvidia supports freesync?

Well I'm not much into the 500+ nits monitors yet, but I'm dissappointed by the fact that 2 of these monitors have only 90% DCI-P3. I expect the sweet spot to be around 99% to 110% DCI-P3, given the fact that we are now moving towards Rec 2020 color gamut, and full utilization of 10bit colors.

Gsync is vastly superior to freesync. Much better frames range and more nits.

Disappointing no support for Nvidia Gsync from Asus though.
