The display port is the only connection that will support higher frame rates

so I could easily get the best frame rate possible, and I never had Gsync

and I was loving the beatiful picture and high refresh rate

G-Sync and fast refresh rates!

I'd love to give this a better rating, but I spent a lot of money on this to be so 'meh' out of box

The only benefit to G-sync is not having to fiddle around with the vertical synch setting in every game you play, since g-synch automatically detects and selects the correct refresh rate

The color is great, though not much different from my old monitor (which was admittedly pretty high quality for its time), the ultra-wide aspect really opens up the viewing range (especially in shooters), and the refresh rate + g-sync make things noticeably smoother than before

Excellent viewing angles, buttery smooth refresh rate, love everything about it

Obviously this is a bigger distraction than the other problem, but it's over much more quickly, so I'm willing to overlook this as well as long as it doesn't get worse
