This monitor has Free Sync, not G-Sync

I've only had the monitor for a day, but I like it. The picture quality is superb, the display runs buttery smooth and setup was easy. I have 2 complaints but I still recommend this monitor at this price point (25% off, $210). The first complaint is the brightness. It doesn't get very bright, and it's very noticeable when a second monitor is nearby. I don't mind it much, but it's worth thinking about. The second complaint is G-Sync. The description of this product states that it is "G-Sync Compatible". This monitor does not support G-Sync. It has free AMD sync. If you have an Nvidia 10 series graphics card or higher, there is no problem. However, if you have a 900 series or lower, you won't be able to use G-Sync. I thought it was false advertising as there is no mention of Free Sync anywhere. Other than that, I didn't see any screen tearing, so I can't complain about the performance. I am using a GTX 960 graphics card. If you have a series 10 graphics card or higher, I 100% recommend this monitor. If you don't, look elsewhere before settling on this one. It's actually not a bad option though.
