It’s a common misconception, but not entirely true. While G-SYNC is designed for NVIDIA GPUs and FreeSync for AMD GPUs, many monitors support both technologies. For instance, some FreeSync monitors are also compatible with NVIDIA GPUs and support G-SYNC. A good example is the ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN. This monitor supports G-SYNC for NVIDIA GPUs and is also compatible with AMD’s FreeSync technology. So, even if you have an NVIDIA card, you can benefit from FreeSync support on this monitor. NVIDIA added support for FreeSync in their drivers. This means that while FreeSync is primarily designed for AMD GPUs, NVIDIA GPUs can still take advantage of the adaptive sync technology.

Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth bruh. I couldn't have said it better myself. I have an Asus VG249Q3A which is supposed to be only Freesync compatible, but I still got my GeForce RTX 3060's G-sync to work with it just fine. No screen tearing! 😁

3 things: 1. Some monitors that are supposed to be only Freesync compatible can still give you the same adaptive sync feature even with Nvidia GPUs. One example is Asus VG249Q3A TUF Gaming Monitor. I'm not sure though if it also works the other way around (G-sync compatible monitors with AMD GPUs). 2. IPS monitors are not limited to 144Hz max as shown by the table presented in the vid. VG249Q3A which is an IPS monitor actually has a max refresh rate of 180Hz. 3. Larger is not always better. Gaming on first-person shooter games such as Counter Strike would benefit best on 1080p monitors because larger ones ask the players to focus on a larger screen area which lessens their reaction times. Another reason why 1080p monitors are considered optimal for FPS games is the fact that they require less work and resources from the GPU which leads to higher frame rates being dished out as opposed to larger monitors.

In terms of HDR, the issue is how each game implements it and the type of monitor you have. Most games just use HDR for the light and dark contrasts and it's not true HDR. Second, monitors with the HDR400/500/600 ratings are not true HDR. It has to do with local dimming zones, etc. your monitor can do. In short, the really more expensive monitors compared to the mid and low end monitors don't compare when it comes to HDR. Also, for OLED, you forgot to mention the VRR flickering issue. Only a 4090 or 4080, 7900XT or 7900 XT could probably mitigate this because the main cause of this is huge fps spikes, which lower GPUS will encounter (unless you lock FPS which defeats the purpose of having freesync or gsync). You also didn't mention screen burn in for OLED which is still an issue to this day, specially if you use your monitor for work (lots of static things left for at least 8 hours a day like an excel spreadsheet or your windows bar at the bottom, etc.) more often than gaming. The typical user nowadays will use their monitor more for work (work from home) versus gaming.

If your workplace has a lot of stray reflections on your monitor coming from different sources and directions that distracts you, you might opt for a matte display but this may somewhat lessen the contrast of your monitor but it's a small price to pay to give you a distraction-free display.

I would like to add if I may Based on my experience, if you're currently on 1080p and have no budget yet or have no plan to move up to higher resolution, never try 4k especially on an extended period of time. Your 1080p monitor might look like shit if you return to it Also, this is actually have been said over and over again. Consider how powerful your gpu since it will determine not just graphic settings but also the amount of FPS you will be able to play if you plan to move to a higher resolution. This is true especially if you intend to use ray tracing BUT sometimes people tend to forget about upscaler technologies. DLSS and FSR has come a long way, not to mention the game changer Frame generation option. It's best if you research about your gpu before moving to a higher resolution to determine if you can stick to your old gpu or need to buy a new and more powerful one

The larger is better claim really depends, I use to run a 27 inch display and got really bad migraines as was almost right up my face. Didn't help even when I set the brightness to the lowest setting and set up a lamp for extra background light. This is something you have to test as an individual as it's partly a biological issue. I'm running a single 22 inch display right now, and if you have the same problems I have and want to raise productivity without getting a 2nd or larger monitor I advise you to learn how to use virtual desktops.

10:11 HDR looks better, SDR looks oversaturated and uncalibrated, her face looks like sunburnt orange, her hair is glowing. Make sure you use sRGB for SDR so that it is calibrated and that skintone looks accurate and realistic. HDR is calibrated with VESA DisplayHDR / HDR10 / PQ standards so that skintone and every other colour is accurate to real life. If you put SDR in sRGB / 2.2 standard then it should look similar to HDR in colours but not as bright and detailed. HDR is an extension of sRGB where it would add a little bit of colour outside of sRGB range (which is already very accurate) but also increases the brightness and detail while reducing banding.

I agree HDR may be useless in work use but after seeing HDR movies, I cant go back to normal SDR movies. The bright areas in the frame just looks correct and actually bright! Things like fire and sunlight. As for gaming, I didnt notice it that much. I only have a VA panel tho and HDR400 rating, can't imagine how godlike it would be if this was an OLED panel + HDR for really bright highlights and very rich black levels.

Gsync compatible = amd freesnyc = vesa displayport adaptive sync. gsync compatible is just nvidia validated/certified adaptive sync which is basically the same thing as freesync since both use and contribute to the same technology standard. If it says it's gsync compatible, it's almost always going to be freesync compatible too because it was likely already a freesync monitor in the first place. you can find monitors that will run variable refresh rate with your AMD or Nvidia GPU even without freesync or gsync branding/certification as long as it has adaptive sync (newer high refresh rate monitors usually have this if they include a displayport) as both of these are more or less just hardware certifications that indicate that the monitor has reached certain requirements (LFC, freesync over HDMI, etc.) For AMD, it'll work on anything with adaptive sync most of the time. For nvidia you'd need a displayport or HDMI 2.1 and a 10 series and up GPU to use adaptive sync. Only the hardware Gsync is made by Nvidia, and It's mostly the hardware Gsync that's really picky about the GPU Brand. But most of the newer hardware Gsync monitors also include adaptive sync already so it's not much of an issue nowadays.

Regarding HDR, did you use windows HDR calibration? If yes, you will still have to recalibrate the black levels on your TV / monitor. In my case, I had to lower down the black level by 4-5 notches. Aside from that, you have to set the color depth on your GPU driver to 10bit. As for the varying implementation on games, try switching from exclusive fullscreen to borderless or vice versa. In my experience, more games look better in borderless when using HDR because it will follow the calibration you did while in desktop mode.

1080p in 2024 onwards is a little counterproductive. FSR/DLSS 1440p beats any native 1080p rendering. so if you're planning to get a 1080p monitor on your new PC build, get a 1440p monitor instead. also HDR is not a useless feature. it's only useless if you're using it on a bad monitor. try it on an OLED and you won't be coming back. the Horizon Zero Dawn example you sourced is from a guy who didn't understand how HDR works. it's washed out because the monitor/panel sucked.

There is a slight penalty for your graphics card if you're using HDR on an HDR capable monitor. For AMD it's negligible but for NVIDIA it's as much as 10% FPS performance loss in games because the cards need to accommodate additional bits per pixel to process more colors.

"This is also why monitor manufacturers can report such low response time figures for their displays - these figures pertain to the fastest possible color transition. However, the real-world experience of using a monitor is that you’re seeing a whole range of color transitions, so an average figure is more meaningful. Some manufacturers report a gray-to-gray response time figure, but even that depends on exactly how many samples the manufacturer has tested.
