G-Sync now being allowed into scalers made by other companies

Really cool stuff! Theoretically we'll see even more TVs with this tech and with better VRR ranges (I made the switch to recliner gaming years ago).

Newer televisions are already getting improved VRR ranges. My C3 effectively goes down to 1 FPS with LFC like a hardware G-SYNC module can. You're just not going to be able to see any benefit at that low of a framerate.
 
I wonder what this means for mini LED monitors. People claim the PG32UQX is the best mini LED monitor specifically because of the hardware Gsync module to control the local dimming vs other mini LED monitors that use traditional scalers. Now that the Gsync module is officially dead, what is going to be the result for future mini LED monitors using the newest MediaTek scalers? Will they also have better local dimming thanks to the nvidia partnership? If not, then PG32UQX owners must be in shambles right now if they were hoping for a Gsync Module V2 mini LED lol.

The PG32UQX was using a "v2" G-SYNC module. The original one didn't support HDR and was DisplayPort 1.2 only.

Then v3 I guess? The point I was trying to make though is that prospects of a new hardware Gsync module mini LED display that would succeed the PG32UQX is now dead in the water with this news so anyone holding out for that believing that the Gsync module is the holy grail to mini LEDs is probably going to be in shambles now.

OLED took all the steam from high end Mini-LED and frankly unless they can follow up the PG32UQX with equal or better performance than PG32UCDM/UCDP at a similar price point, they probably won't ever top it.

And i'm not talking about for the extreme minority that would still pay for a PG32UQX today, those people are almost invisible in Asus's eyes given how few of them there are. I'm talking about for the larger gaming public.

Well the reason why people simp for the PG32UQX is apparently because of "HDR brightness", motion clarity and other features get completed ignored all for the sake of HDR brightness. The new OLEDs currently don't match it in that regard obviously, but without any further improvements to the UQX they eventually will. At this point though I'm not sure why anyone even considers the UQX still because if HDR brightness with good zone control was the absolute #1 priority above all else, seems like the Sony Bravia 9 would have it beat in that area.
