Post up your impressions.
Yes, it's an Asus with the conversion. I've had the monitor for a few months and I'm happy with it. The color is a bit wishy-washy, but there are custom ICC profiles that people have posted that help a lot. It's no IPS panel, that's for sure. The jump from 60Hz to 144Hz is well worth it though.

I've put a couple hours of BF4 through it now. G-Sync certainly does what it claims: I've noticed no tearing or stutters. No matter how hair the situation is, quickly panning around is as smooth as can be. It took about an hour or so to get used to, but it really has worked out well. For example, if an opposing player is running, panning and leading them while firing is much easier.

That said, I have a fair amount of graphics horsepower (GTX770) for a single 1080p monitor, so even without G-Sync, my experience at 144Hz was very good.

It's just nice to know that I can just let GeForce Experience set the optimum settings (which is usually Ultra across the board + some AA) and go play without any tearing or stutters.

NVidia says it works down to 30Hz, so as long as you can maintain 30fps, G-Sync will reward. This will be tits if you're waiting for a 1440p G-Sync monitor and have a solid enthusiast card, like a GTX760. Where 1440p may be a bit tough to play maxed with a GTX760, G-Sync will handle it and you'll get a great experience out of it without needing a huge fps number.

A 1440p IPS panel with G-Sync would be so choice.
