Apparently this one has been discontinued, is there a successor to it? My preference is also not curved, should have mentioned.
It really seems like you should have dual monitors. One for movies and gaming that satisfies your refresh and resolution requirements, and one for your work that has the best color possible.
Oh I already do use dual monitors. But I'd want them both to meet a minimum spec. I'd be happy to compromise on the one for movies though and keep using my current one for design.
what the hell, it is discontinued..it was only out for like a year. Weird.
I have the predecessor to this monitor and I can tell you at least the color accuracy is pretty good, 100% sRGB coverage - they even include a nice little calibration sheet with it. The curve is pretty unnoticeable most of the time but I guess if you're working with design that might be a problem, yeah.
Hm... I'll keep an eye out.
really? i bought one a couple of months back, they come precalibrated. its not super noticable but because of how deep the stand is i ended up sitting a lot closer than with my old monitor and the curve helps a lot i feel.
the HDR isnt as good as a decent HDR tv but in the right games it looks nice

Looks like this got simpler for you:
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/01/nvidia-certifies-select-freesync-monitors-as-g-sync-compatible/
NVIDIA is supporting some freesync (officially) and allowing you to toggle on other monitors (unofficially).
Well, it would've if I hadn't got a G-sync monitor already
Pretty bad timing on my part, it seems.
You might be able to return it or trade it in.
Oh man that sucks, I've been following this thread from the start because I've been needing to get a new monitor but I've held off until now because of how expensive gsync is.
Out of the monitors listed there though, are there any you guys would recommend or specifically recommend against?
Depends entirely on the price range you're looking for. Out of the things you listed TN vs IPS is another thing to look at. IPS is considered better in many ways, but is also quite a bit more expensive. There are some trade offs as well though. IPS has much better color accuracy and viewing angles, but latency is a bit higher (usually 4 ms in gaming monitors vs 1 ms for TN) and there's also some IPS glow, which looks a bit like backlight bleeding in some TN panels. Also when it comes to resolution 1440p is quite beneficial for just mucking around in windows as well since you can fit quite a bit more on the screen.
I guess this is a monitor buying help thread now and i'm stuck between these two:

I have a 1070ti and the freesync one isn't officially certified to be gsync compatible but sone random guy on reddit said it works Freesync/VRR Compatibility with Nvidia Megalist
so now that nvidia supports some freesync monitors the S2716DGR is effectively obsolete?
Freesync seems to be fairly garbage on most monitors, leaving an experience which almost questions if products are even tested or designed to do what they are advertised as doing at all.
As far as I can tell, it's generally a complete toss up on if your Freesync is going to work or not. I have a buddy with the same monitor and video card as I and Nvidia's adaptive sync works perfectly for him, but for me I get crazy brightness flickering. Freesync I guess is one of those, "it's great if it works" type things judging from googling anything Freesync related.
Having never used G-Sync, it appears to actually work at least and the manufacturer actually went out of their way to validate the hardware rather than slap in some software support to check a box for marketing. I would pay extra money for hardware that does what G-Sync does, I sure as fuck wouldn't pay $100 more though.
I know this is a week old post but if it's any consolation you're probably still better off with what you got already. I recently just tried the new NVIDIA drivers that allowed G-Sync on any FreeSync monitor and while it does work and is pretty smooth, I am getting some minor issues such as flickering and, occasional ghosting. It's not a deal breaker and it's definitely a nice feature that's opened up to non G-Sync monitors, but I think you got your money's worth on your S2417DG since you're experiencing G-Sync without any of the potential artifacts and issues.
Now that the Nvidia drivers have dropped for Freesync support, I'd like to report to anyone who gives a shit, the Asus XG32QV works perfectly well with Gsyncs Freesync support.
Is there a smaller alternative to this one?
and just like that, the perfect monitor exists
Acer Nitro XV273KP 27in IPS UHD HDR400 144Hz Freesync Monitor [X.. (except in 4k)
sorry to bump a thread that's really old, but i recently got a notification that my display is gsync compatible despite it being a freesync model.
NVIDIA's latest drivers have allowed G-Sync on any Freesync (or in their non-branding terms, Variable Refresh Rate monitors) to be turned on. If you have Freesync turned on in your monitor, you can manually enable G-Sync through your NVIDIA control panel. Your experience may vary but for the most part it should work. Possible issues include flickering and ghosting.
i'll give it a try at some point, although i'll probably just end up turning it off again depending on how my games perform. i'm one of those weirdo "professional gamers" so i tend to do anything i can to increase responsiveness and framerate.
Counteracting against any input lag and frame pacing issues are one of G-Sync/Freesync's main selling points in contrast to V-Sync. V-Sync caps a game to the monitor's max refresh rate but to do so it delays the delivery of frames to the monitor, which results in the perceived delay. G-Sync/Freesync doesn't do that, instead it dynamically matches the GPU's output to the monitor with a dynamic refresh rate, creating a 1:1 frame delivery, eliminating any tearing while avoiding any sort of delay.
NVIDIA has a quick video and demonstration on how it works.

And if the in-game FPS exceeds your refresh rate, G-Sync remains idle until you drop again below your refresh rate. This makes sure you can always rely on getting the maximum frames you can while also having the benefit of a smoother image thanks to G-Sync/FreeSync's low framerate compensation, which makes variable framerate jumps less jarring and sudden.
seems cool. i'll still have to see how it performs in games c:
I believe there was a 27, but the cost difference made it worthwhile for me to get a 32.

This one has come out recently: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/45372/acer-nitro-xv272up-27in-ips-qhd-hdr400-144hz-freesync-monitor
But I can't find any information on it's actual bit depth? I'm worried it isn't actually 10bit, but one of those 8bit monitors that does some funky shit to emulate 10bit in HDR mode. How do I figure that out?
HDR400 is a pretty low standard as far as HDR goes.
Ideally you'd want a HDR1000 compliant screen, if HDR is something you care about.
It is, and I have an HDR1000 TV, but I've never seen a monitor support anything higher than 500. Do they even exist?
Also voting on S2716DG for performance/price ratio, got on myself, theres a bunch of revision model, i would say the newer the better, you should just get a good color calibration then your set.
3 grand, you bet they are. that ain't happening
