Shopping for New Monitor - Page 2

Just wait for all the expert reviews to come in before you buy anything. The more expensive Acer model is confirmed to have strobbing, maybe Asus will have it as well. Or maybe 120Hz no strobbing is why it's 200$ cheaper. There's no perfect solution yet and there won't be any for some time. Freesync and G-Sync are great, but you still need to choose between smoothness and strobbing. IPS also isn't that much better in terms of colour, I doubt you'll notice much of a difference between it and a TN panel. There will always be something slightly better down the road which is why I simply bought a new monitor now instead of waiting indefinitely.
