There are few things worse in gaming than having your powerful system connected to a great looking monitor only for the two of them to sync up poorly and render your games a sloppy mess as the screen draws partial frames during each refresh. That's just what can happen without some sort of syncing technology enabled. A G-Sync monitor paired with an Nvidia graphics card will do a better job than just about anything else at avoiding that scenario.
With the proper setup, a G-Sync monitor will slow down and speed up (to an extent) its refresh rate to match whatever framerate your computer is able to deliver. It thereby ensures each frame your computer sends will be shown in its entirety on your screen. What does that mean for you? Clear imagery in your games regardless of your computer's ability to keep a stable frame rate. G-Sync also manages to avoid the issues of standard V-Sync, which can introduce noticeable latency.
So, if you've got a PC running on an Nvidia graphics card, you owe it to yourself to check out a G-Sync monitor. Below, you'll find everything from ultra-fast, 240Hz monitors to more affordable FreeSync displays that can support G-Sync nonetheless – and click here to see them in the UK.

Where the XG270Q’s predecessor needed its panel overclocked to go beyond 144Hz, this newer model is built specifically for a 165Hz refresh
