Everything I hear about GSync is that it's the future of gaming and a long overdue innovation. Here's a review of that monitor.

Unfortunatly not. I kind of relying on what people suggest or advice. I mean all i have near me is a best buy and walmart and they dont have any good monitors on display. Well like i said its between a g sync or just a 1440p. I havent seen any 1440p monitors at all and asus offers g sync in pg278q and the vg248qe.
GSYNC is one of those make or break things, sadly, most of the time it's a break.
The problem with proprietary hardware such as the chip used for GSYNC is that it often fails to get picked up by the mainstream, causing it to be one of those menial things that not a lot of people have.
ASUS make excellent monitors and for many of their high-end models they're backing it, it wouldn't surprise me if they continue to do so. I suppose in theory GSYNC doesn't require games to be written for it, so it will likely stay relevant until that monitor dies.
If you can afford a monitor with it implemented then I have no doubts that you would notice a difference and it would end up being a worthwhile purchase. On the plus side also, many of the screens with it built in are also very good panels themselves, best of both worlds and all that.
There is a school of thought that alternative 'free' tools will be released, such as AMDs adaptive sync technology, we'll just have to wait and see if it negates the need for a purchase to a GSYNC panel. It's certainly an interesting technology, I would imagine that if you're going for a display with a high refresh rate and resolution, designed specifically for gaming - You're going to want to invest in an added piece of hardware to control how well those frames are delivered to you.
In short, if you can afford it, go for it.
If not, then a regular 1440p monitor isn't going to be a huge let down. GSYNC will certainly offer a difference, but it's not as though the current tech is unbearable.
(If it was me I'd wait a bit for it to become more of the norm, until we start seeing more panels released with the tech and perhaps even some IPS displays. Monitors are in a bit of a "Wait and see" phase at the moment, Ultra Wide panels, high resolutions, GSYNC and the likes are all waiting to take off, just haven't got there yet. If I had to choose right now, it would be the one with GSYNC, purely out of curiosity/bragging rights).

I read into free sync and adaptive sync, and they are very promising its just that they are not available just yet. Also wouldn't i have to upgrade my gpu to be able to use adaptive sync. I just got 780s in 2 way sli and well buying new gpu and changing to amd is probably not happening anytime soon. I have been gaming on a old as Monitor that came with a hp desktop and well i do notice screen tear once in a while. This screen is from 2008 so a monitor upgrade is long over due. I just dont have any first hand experience with new monitors and how bad or not bad screen tearing is. i opted against the pg278q now its either a 144ghz 1080p or a 1440p @60ghz.
