So I'm thinking about buying a new monitor, and I wanted to check one of those freesync/gsync things. The problem is that (because of COVID and other factors) it is difficult to see a variety of monitors working (so I can see how good/bad image shows).
My doubts:
- I've got a nVidia 1050 Ti that I'm not going to change on the foreseable future. Obviously is a g-sync card, but I've read that can be used as a freesync device (providing you have recent drivers and use displayport). Has anyone tested it?
- The main reason to going to freesync is not using recent games at 144Hz, but using a variety of emulators properly synced (=no tearing). Those emulators are both recent (i.e.: Dosbox) and older (i.e.: ZXSpin, Kega Fusion). Can freesync be applied to any software? If not, what features has to have a program to fully support freesync?
Because I can not "see" many monitors, I'd like somebody to recommend me a monitor. My requirements are:
- Between 21 and 25 inches. My desk is not big enough to have a 27 or bigger screen.
- 1920x1080, above 100Hz refresh rate (it seems that the standard are 75 and 144Hz).
- Flat (non curved) and non reflective surface (like old monitors).
- Reasonable price tag... anything below 300$ would be fine.
Thanks.
