What happens if you run standard Vsync at 144hz? (no triple buffering and no gsync), does it go 144hz > 72hz > 36hz?

Hopefully this next batch will have addressed some of the quality issues. Can't wait.
When is the next batch suppose to be available? I put in a order with Amazon but they say the estimated delivery date is late May to early June, would that be the second batch?
ULMB is AMAZING BALLS on my triple Acer 144s and my water fed SLI Titan Xs and OCd 5960x make sure FPS stay nice and tight at 100!

Anyone received an order from Amazon recently?
nope, still waiting
My delivery date still says June
At least Amazon was nice enough to price match ShopBLT
really? where did you go to price match it?
I sent them an email after ordering with a link from ShopBLT.com @$749
and they said "no we don't normally match, but we value our customers, etc.." and credited me $50.
Does the picture still look sharp at 1080p resolution? Any added input lag?
I only have one GTX 970 video card and I may not be able to run 1440p in all games.
Definitely not, it's not going to look as sharp as on a 1080p display. Even on my smaller 25" screen the difference right after I switch from 1440p to 1080p is obvious. However you may get used to 1080p after a while.Does the picture still look sharp at 1080p resolution? Any added input lag?
Canceled my Amazon order, and ordered from Acer.com store since they are in stock.
FYI to anyone using the ACER store- If you add the monitor to your cart and leave it for a few hours, you should get a pop up window for 10% off and free shipping. If you don't, you can chat with support and they will call you with a 10% off and free shipping promo code but you have to order via phone. Was able to get one for $719 with free shipping
I'm really curious about something. I'm coming from a catleap korean oc'd to 120hz for about 2 years now. I've generally been pretty happy with it but of course I've been wanting to jump into a true 120/144hz gsync panel. In reality i wanted to also move to a larger and higher resolution screen at the same time but as we know the Acer 34"screen due out in august will only be 75hz. So that brings me back to this screen is it a worthwhile upgrade? Have any of you guys come from one of the overclocked korean screens to this one and was it worth it? Pros/cons?
I used to own a Catleap, however it was not overclocked as I just ran it at 60Hz. I know the price may seem very steep for this monitor but I feel like it's well worth the upgrade. Apart from getting a guaranteed 1440p 144Hz, this is the FIRST and currently the ONLY ips display that is capable of strobing and if that doesn't really concern you then there's gsync for completely tear and stutter free gaming. You'll also get a usable although somewhat limited OSD but it's still nice to have. The only problem is that there seems to be QC issues so you may want to wait it out before picking one up.
I appreciate the insight some good points. I guess what i really want to know is how is 120hz on my screen gonna be compared to 144 on this one. Is it that much smoother looking or not much different? That's what would sway me one way or the other.
Except for the viewing angles, this monitor is the most superior in every category. Ghosting, colour accuracy, response time, everything.
This monitor has artificial firmware caps that limit the refresh rate. It displays an "out of range" message when it is sent input above 144Hz. If I was interested in LCDs, I would much rather have a Korean 1440p over this. I don't like to be artificially limited by monitor manufacturers. This monitor would likely be capable of 160Hz, almost certainly 150Hz if it didn't have an artificial cap. The cheap Korean IPSes can almost always hit 120Hz, sometimes even up to 160Hz, if you get lucky.

what's the conflict? if you're unhappy in the slightest then return it.I'm conflicted.
I finally got mined "repaired" from Acer, and while it has no dead pixels and minimal backlight bleed (very lucky in that regard), it still has 2 ingrained dust spots. One's fairly minor and I'd never notice it through every day use unless looking for it. The other, while still on the edge of the screen, is still large enough that it's easily noticeable on anything that's not a black screen.
I have less than a week to decide to return it.
