    Not bad... Not bad at all. Except the XG2703. Needs an option without the "green paint" tax.

    That's the gsync tax that Nvidia charges.

    No info on response time for the IPS panels? Acer XB280HK is my 4K monitor of choice with G-sync. I do not need an IPS panel for gaming. My hope is another company does a 4k G-Sync TN Panel to drive down the price a bit.

    The problem is, since the 1440p panels aren't a TV resolution, these will start to become more specialized products, while the 4K panels will be getting cheaper all the time.

    If it were just a "green tax", aka. gSync premium, it would be about 200-300 USD higher than a comparable 1440p panel from the same company. Since it's 300 USD higher than a 4K panel with similar everything except refresh-rate and panel PPI, it points more to a niche sized panel.

    Very strange and disappointing that the only resolution being offered without a FreeSync option in this lineup is 1440p, which is where a LOT of enthusiasts are looking to buy these days.

    no freesync range = no interest. seriously, it's like they're releasing the same monitors over and over and over and over and over with the smallest of changes.
