Pan-America is North and South America for anyone who still isn't clear.

EMEA includes Russia and Africa. All of Asia east of Iran is not included (except for Russia)... so no China, for instance.
Ahh, good to know. I didn't realize it was quite that expansive.:eek:

So with good TN panels having better color in motion over IPS displays, what about VA technology like in the Eizo Foris 2421? Would a 120hz VA panel suffer from similar colour problems while in motion?

According to tftcentral.co.uk the Eizo is about the best monitor in motion there is. Its low persistence mode is simply excellent. I haven't personally ever used one so I can't compare it to the IPS and TN 144hz I have but had it been released when I got my Benq I would have probably bought the Eizo. Also having spoke to there sales team they have no interest in gsync/freesync and are pushing towards higher refresh and low persistence technology as a company. Its the most advanced version I know of, although it will be interesting to see the comparison of the new low persistence mode on the gsync module in comparison to the eizo 240hz tech.

Even though the Eizo has low persistence, and that reduces motion blur, it still suffers the same problem IPS monitors have with pixel response times. Low persistence makes it so the images don't get imprinted in our minds long enough to linger, which makes it easy to see distinct frames as well as give the monitor more time to change the pixel color, but if those pixel responses are greater than 6-7, they will still be the wrong color when it is shown brightly.

In practice the Eizo FG2421 showed low levels of motion blur and no noticeable ghosting. Image clarity and smoothness was improved with the higher frame rate that 120Hz offered. Blurring was still noticeable to the user due to the hold-type nature of LCD displays, but could be reduced significantly with the use of the integrated Turbo 240 blinking backlight technology. Overall we were impressed with the pixel response times from this new VA panel.

The main problem with it is the pixel response time, but its not as terrible as an IPS. Its mainly latency however not motion blur that in this monitor is the issue.

"Acer Delivers World’s First 4k2k Display with NVIDIA® G-SYNC"

Why are they calling it a 4k2k display? Are we sure that it supports G-Sync at 4k?

Gsync was demoed in January at 4K so yes its definitely working. I presume its 4k2k because 4k is actually 2160p.

I suppose we're not sure, but it'd be pretty dumb of them to advertise it as such if it didn't, wouldn't it?

What reason do we have to disbelieve them, exactly?

I'm not disbelieving anything. I'm just curious why they are listing it as 4k/2k and not simply 4k. Could it be because it only supports G-Sync @ 2k? I thought that G-Sync wasn't offered @60Hz is another reason to wonder.

2K is not a recognized resolution. 4k is. I can only assume the person writing is simply was describing it in the way they do in what ever country he is from, or just some odd way he has described it in the past.

Doing a Google search, I found this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/4k2k

It appears in what ever language that is, 4k2k is what we call 4k.

Yes apparently 2k denotes the vertical res. Thanks.
