The "A" in the silver Asus logo on the front bottom of the bezel was chipped off, it had a dead pixel, and the monitor sometimes flickered whilst using free sync on my 260X.

Adaptive Sync isn't supported by Nvidia yet (although technically they can and that would potentially kill the g-sync)Overall: the MG279Q kills the deal for the most of red team players as it is currently the only IPS monitor that support freesync, and 144hz refresh rate

the monitor had difficulties syncing with free sync

Best looking monitor I have seen, the adaptive sync is amazing but with my GTX

Free sync ruins this monitor for the Nvidia team

G-Sync is completely irrelevant to me

the next.heavy-duty matte coating sucks idk why it's sooo bad....you can see a distortion in the picture if you look close....it basically looks like a dirty piece of plastic slapped on your screen.other thoughts:the 144hz is nice and smooth and adaptive sync seems to work fine.

I returned this monitor and I purchased ASUS VP28UQG 28" 4K/UHD 3840x2160 1ms DP HDMI Adaptive Sync

Other then that, free sync works amazingly, 144hz is silky smooth and the colors are not horrible tn colors.

The free sync wasn't as smooth as the Asus screen, and some games like destiny would only sync up to 60 fps, where the Asus would sync up to 72 fps (these were settings just in Destiny 2)

Adaptive Sync support over a 1.2 DP which is very nice, freesync work flawless in the 35-90 hz range (best range of freesync so far) and an IPS panel, build quality is outstanding, heard and seen some people who complain of some backlight bleeding but mine doesn't manifest any light bleed

I set the demo so sweep framerates I can watch them go up and down between 45 to 65 FPS and see where my PB278Q is having screen tearing over and over while my new MG278Q stays in perfect sync with a smooth display.

I was looking for a nice monitor to pair with my GTX 980TI and G-SYNC wasn't important to me as a similar model would have been an additional $260+ for G-SYNC version of this that ACER makes

The only downside is that free-sync doesn't work over 90hz on this monitor.

I'm not impressed with the Free-sync, it seems to be marginally, if any, better than Adaptive Sync

Only running a 760 gtx so can't give any review on top end cards or even how it runs on a Radeon card (which is what it's best on, since G-Sync would be more appropriate for my card), but a great buy.

Freesync only works with AMD cards and G-Sync with NVidiaAnything else I said above, if you don't understand it this probably not the monitor for you, and pick up a nice 1080P display.

I'm also going to try an active displayport adapter to see if I can get the free sync and 60fps to work

One tip most people will probably know that a gaming setup is nothing without rgb LED’s, thus most people buy one to place behind monitor, if you are one of those people buy a usb LED light strip so it can connect to the monitor when it turns on and off when not receiving power, that way no grbabing rgb controller every time.
