I don't really notice any difference but then someone else claims they can so I dunno... guess it depends on you. Sometimes when these types of differences are pointed out specifically to me though then all of a sudden and I can't NOT NOTICE them lol and they start to piss me off. But I've got a G-Sync capable monitor (it's the screen in my laptop) and I've played a lot with monitors that don't use G-Sync... and the only difference I can tell is the size of the screen (of course). If there's "tearing" in the non-G-Sync ones that didn't occur in the G-Sync one, I didn't notice it. But I guess it's possible? *shrug*

I think Nvidia was shitty for doing it the way they did it and wasn't going to buy a G-Sync one (they actually boost the price of monitors about $200 or more IIRC) but then I found this and thought I had found the best of both worlds... G-Sync AND not too expensive. But, as is often the case... you get what you pay for. It's not a G-Sync monitor. I like it alright though. It has very good colors, almost as good as my all time favorite monitor (which I still hook up every now and then because it has the most awesome screen I've seen.... but it has something wrong right in the middle of the screen that really gets distracting... especially playing an open world RPG like Fallout or Skyrim. But this one is the second best I've seen in terms of vibrant colors, crispness, and it just looks good. Plus it's big. LOL And curved. Didn't know what to expect from that either but it turns out I actually do notice that and it looks quite good having both sides much closer to your eyes. Very good thing.
