4k monitor with no G-sync. Good idea?

[Monoten]

I'm thinking about purchasing a 4k HDR 10 monitor (to be more precise the LG 27UK650-W) Thing is, it doesn't have G-Sync. Now I don't play a lot of demanding games on my pc. The most demanding would be witcher 3. My videocard is a GTX 970, considering the prices of video cards, I'm not planning on changing it. I was only wondering if I keep the settings a bit low, it will still run good. Anyone has any experience with it?

If it's all you are used to perhaps, but gsync spoils you frankly, mainly saw it while scrolling around, plus, input lag sucks, but, couch gaming for me tends to be turn based so not a big deal, I couldn't play without gsync these days in any kind of game where I have to actually react and move around.

I'd like G-Sync, of course. It seems nice. I'll definitely buy a G-Sync television once they make one that is large and affordable enough. I've never noticed input lag on any of my televisions over the years when they're in Game Mode, though I've never played a game with a mouse, so maybe there is some perceptible delay I don't know about. My mouse pointer movement feels the same on my television at home as on my monitor at work.

Sorry to the OP. This is off topic.

It's vsync that creates an input lag, TV's have a notoriously bad response rate causing lag as well and game modes have been tested to pretty much do nothing most of the time.

The difference between a TV and a good monitor is night and day, same for a good mouse and an office mouse to be fair.

Game Mode (on all my televisions so far) disables interpolation and any post-processing to get the response time down. If you disable those things yourself, then yes, Game Mode will do little or nothing.

I guess you probably don't know a 4k with G-sync monitor which supports HDMI 2.0? I also use my monitor for my PS4 pro and I can't seem to find one.

I don’t think any current 4K G-SYNC monitors have HDMI 2.0. Far as I know, all current 4K G-SYNC monitors have HDMI 1.4. I know the upcoming 4K 144hz HDR G-SYNC monitors will have HDMI 2.0, but they’re enthusiast monitors with a enthusiast price tag, so not an option for most people. It would be more suitable to use a PS4 on a 4K TV with HDMI 2.0 and just use a monitor for PC use. You won’t get any benefits connecting a console to a monitor e.g. G-SYNC won’t work with PS4.

I know, I saw a store in offer where you can pre-order the upcoming 4k 144 hz HDR g-sync monitor. More than 2000,--! That's way more than I'm willing to spend on a monitor (off-topic: I heard the monitor should be released end of april and that's already behind us. Wondering what is going on with that). I do think that I will stick with a 4k monitor without G-sync, but will wait for when a new batch of videocards arrive to see if prices will drop for the GTX 1080 TI (and perhaps a new monitor will arrive at that time with 4k, gsync HDMI 2.0 and HDR. We will see).

Thanks everyone for your help.
