Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I was waiting for the non-G-sync version of this monitor that's why I didn't bite on the $499 price but it looks it's not going to be sold in the US. The official Acer page has the MSRP for the G-sync version for$599 so I guess that's the correct price after all.
So confusing but it seems like the one on newegg is in fact the g-sync version.
I think the non-G-Sync model is XB270Hbmjdprz which looks to be available from Amazon Germany right now.
Nothing fits my hand better than a G9x. The Corsair M60/M65 is close though. Not sure why Logitech discontinued it when people still buy a NIB G9x for $100 on eBay.
