    Quality control on the PG279Q is not worth spending more than $699 IMO

  This FreeSync/GSync bullshit needs to end and be standardised. Some government organisation seriously needs to smack down some regulation on this horseshit. It's the same damn thing with just vendor lockin for the sake of it. (profanity) this anticompetitive crap.

    Can we crack down on Apple being proprietary everything as well while we're at it??

    FYI Nvidia is using their proprietary g-sync so that they can charge a premium on monitors with their tech in them. Intel and AMD are with the VESA standard. Nvidia can choose to include Freesync capability on their GPUs, but decide not to.

  noob question - is it possible to use a pc monitor such as this one as a tv using some sort of set top box?

    Using a monitor for TV 'works', STBs output HDMI and monitors can accept HDMI or DVI which is very close internally, but the sound setup is clunky compared to a dedicated TV with remote. If you are used to having an AV receiver or external sound it's fine, but that's a bunch of remotes that still often don't turn the monitor off and on. If you are happy juggling remotes and still reaching for monitor on switch, it all works but it's a bit of a garage solution in practise. There are also some subtle differences due to people using monitors from different angles and distances than TV.

      Thanks, I appreciate the detailed reply. Looks like I'll just get a tv and use that as a monitor since I'm not a pc gamer, screen response time is not critical to me.

        $150 full hd monitor from somewhere like Umart/MSy.
        $400 gets you a full HD 40" LED Tv.

        Still cheaper than this monitor alone and should keep you happy :)

        @khonfahm: The thing is though that I only need a 22-24" FHD tv that can be used as a monitor. They normally sell for $200-$350 and also have things like PVR and a DVD player in them, so there's a good chance I'll just get a tv that does all that rather than a monitor.
