In my opinion I think waiting another year is a good idea on these.
I think so too. If we set aside G-Sync and FreeSync for a moment, can anyone in this thread point to a 10/10 4K PC gaming monitor? Has there ever been a non-TN 4K monitor that's as fast for ghosting as the ROG Swift? Is there any great 4K G-Sync non-TN gaming monitor 28", 31.5-37"?
We know that the Swift is one of the fastest, if not the fastest but because it's a TN panel, it has its own inherent limitations. It doesn't make sense to compare a 4K IPS/PVA panel or a 21:9 panel to the Swift for competitive FPS gaming. It makes no sense to compare GSync vs. FreeSync and ignore the the underlying technologies in the panels themselves.
The biggest issue for G-Sync was lack or large sized IPS/PVA 4K panels. Pretty much almost all G-Sync monitors until now were junky TN types, with Swift being one of the few outstanding standouts. As was already mentioned in this thread, just because a monitor has GSync or FreeSync, doesn't mean the actual panel driving it is great.
GSync/FreeSync aside, the problem is we just don't have affordable + excellent 4K IPS monitors. If you go 21:9 route, the types of panels used in those displays are never going to be as fast as the Swift; so one must understand the pros/cons of those monitors, regardless of GSync vs. FreeSync. Yet, this thread has basically turned into ROG Swift's lack of ghosting vs. everyone else. I just don't see how someone interested in the 1440p 27" Swift would be cross-shopping a 34" 21:9 or a 32" or larger 4K IPS/PVA panel. These 3 monitor types are aimed at different usage patterns.
Since this is just the first wave of FreeSync monitors, it looks like the monitor manufacturers haven't figured out yet how to drop the minimum refresh rate below 40-48Hz. As a result, it makes sense to wait for higher quality panels with lower refresh rates, and specifically for higher quality 4K and 21:9 panels.
Even the 21:9 34" LG looks gimped vs. the
34UM95 that has 3440x1440 resolution.
