Great monitor but read before you buy!

This is a great monitor at a great price. Okay, now that I've figured that out, let's do some research on what G-Sync really is. When I ordered this monitor I was under the impression that this monitor would solve all of my screen tearing and latency issues. It turned out how. Getting G-Sync settings right can be quite difficult, and you may think you're using G-Sync when you're actually not. Usage: 1. In each game you must set the maximum frame rate to your monitor's maximum refresh rate minus 1 or 2 (e.g. 60Hz -1 = 59 maximum frames per second in game). This ensures that your game never exceeds your monitor's maximum refresh rate. In this case, the NVIDIA control panel ((V-Sync) is activated, which significantly increases the delay. 2. Disable ((V-Sync)) in You do not need to enable ((V-Sync)) in the game if You have G-Sync enabled. Leave it enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel! Don't ask why it is, just do what I say.3.You must use Display Port. G-Sync only works on Display port, there is no way around it. If the cable that comes with it is not long enough, you will need to order a higher quality display port cable with a longer length. DO NOT skimp! Spend about $15-25 for a good longer one. 4. Make sure G-Sync is enabled in Nvidia Control Panel.There is no G-Sync display on this monitor.(Just a warning for noobs like me) That's all I wish I had known about , when I bought this monitor and I hope I helped at least one person.
