The Best G-SYNC Compatible FreeSync Monitors (2025 Reviews)

So, you want to pair your graphics card with a FreeSync monitor that’s officially certified by NVIDIA to provide buttery-smooth variable refresh rate performance for tear-free gameplay? Good call!

While NVIDIA certified numerous displays, a lot of them actually offer identical key specifications – and that’s where this guide kicks in; we’ll narrow down your choices to only the best and most cost-effective options!

These are the best G-SYNC compatible FreeSync monitors currently available.

Now, many FreeSync monitors aren’t certified by NVIDIA as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ yet they offer flawless VRR performance. These models will be mentioned as alternatives in the monitor reviews below if they offer better value for money.

Note that even some NVIDIA-certified G-SYNC compatible monitors can have performance issues with FreeSync.

This is mainly the case with some units of VA panel displays, such as the AOPEN 27HC1R and the Acer ED273A – which have the infamous VRR brightness flickering issue despite passing NVIDIA’s G-SYNC compatible testing process.

Also, keep in mind that sometimes manufacturers advertise their monitors as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ even though they’re not officially certified by NVIDIA. All officially validated models must appear on NVIDIA’s list; naturally, we only included those models.

Additionally, everything regarding which panel type, refresh rate, and resolution you should choose will be covered in the reviews below, but feel free to leave us a question in the comment section below too!

You can view our changelogs for this buying guide at the end of this guide.

Best 1080p G-SYNC Compatible Monitor

Looking for a G-SYNC Compatible monitor with 1080p resolution to make it easy on your PC to reach high frame rates? Look no further!

About The Monitor

The ASUS XG249CM is the best 1080p gaming monitor with G-SYNC Compatible certification.

Image Quality

The monitor’s IPS panel provides you with precise, consistent and vivid colors covering the entire sRGB gamut. Moreover, you get 178° wide viewing angles, ensuring that the image will remain perfect regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen.

Most importantly for FPS gamers, the ASUS XG249CM has a rapid response time speed for next-to-none visible ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

Other panel-related specifications include a 350-nit peak brightness, a standard static contrast ratio of 1,000:1 and 8-bit color depth support for 16.7 million colors.

The Full HD resolution looks crisp on 23.8″ sized monitors as you get a decent pixel density of 92 PPI. Plus, it’s not very demanding on your PC, allowing you to reach high frame rates for smoother performance!

Features

AMD FreeSync is supported with a VRR range of 48-270Hz for tear-free gameplay. You can simply overclock the monitor from 240Hz to 270Hz by enabling the option in the OSD menu and then selecting it in display/GPU settings.

FreeSync, of course, works without issues with compatible NVIDIA graphics cards (GTX 10-series or newer) over DisplayPort. With AMD cards, you can use FreeSync over both HDMI and DP.

Other noteworthy features include crosshair overlays, various picture presets and Shadow Boost (for better visibility in darker games).

The monitor also supports MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) via ASUS’ ELMB-Sync implementation. This technology uses backlight strobing to reduce perceived motion blur at the cost of picture brightness. It can even be active at the same time as FreeSync/G-SYNC Compatible!

Design & Connectivity

At the back of the monitor, you will find HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, USB-C (with DP Alt Mode, 15W PD), a headphone jack, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and integrated KVM functionality.

You can adjust the height of the monitor up to 100mm, tilt it by -5°/20°, +/- 25° swivel, pivot by 90° and VESA mount it.

Best 1440p G-SYNC Compatible Monitors

For most PC gamers, 1440p resolution is the sweet spot. It offers a noticeable improvement in image quality over 1080p, but it’s still not nearly as demanding as 4K.

About The Monitor

Want a higher resolution and a bigger screen? Look no further than the HP Omen 27qs!

Image Quality

With the HP Omen 27qs, not only do you get a bigger 27″ screen but a higher 2560×1440 screen resolution too, which results in a rich pixel density of ~108 PPI.

You get much more screen real estate as well as significantly sharper text and details without any scaling necessary.

Keep in mind that 1440p is more demanding to drive than 1080p, so make sure your PC will be able to handle it.

The HP Omen 27qs also supports a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, which is equivalent to ~130% sRGB for even more vibrant and lifelike colors!

Alternatively, you can use the provided sRGB emulation mode, which will limit the color output to ~100% sRGB for a more accurate representation of content that uses the sRGB color space (most games and web content).

Other panel-related specifications include a 400-nit peak brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and dithered 10-bit color depth support (8-bit + 2-bit FRC) for 1.07 billion colors! 

Features

The HP Omen 27qs delivers a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed.

FreeSync is supported with a 48-240Hz VRR range, and it works with NVIDIA cards without any issues.

Other features include standard gaming utilities such as Black Stretch, MBR, custom crosshairs, and picture presets.

HDR is supported, and thanks to the monitor’s wide color gamut, some content will look noticeably better but don’t buy this monitor solely for its HDR support; it’s more of a bonus feature.

Visit our HP Omen 27qs review for more details.

Design & Connectivity

The stand is sturdy and offers height adjustment up to 100mm, -5°/20° tilt, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports (limited to 144Hz), a headphone jack, dual 3W built-in speakers and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

• MSI G274QPX – same panel with USB-C (65W Power Deliver)
• LG 27GR83Q – no MBR
• ASUS VG27AQML1A – MBR

There are a few 1440p 300Hz models available too, such as the ASUS XG27AQMR, but we find that the extra 60Hz and the still underwhelming HDR-600 support are not worth almost double the price of the HP 27qs.

About The Monitor

If you want an OLED gaming monitor, the LG 27GR95QE is an excellent option!

Image Quality

Thanks to its OLED panel, the LG 27GR95QE provides you with an infinite contrast ratio as each pixel emits its own light and can completely turn off for true blacks.

Moreover, OLED displays have an instantaneous pixel response time speed, resulting in zero trailing behind fast-moving objects, which in addition to low input lag and high 240Hz refresh rate results in a buttery-smooth and responsive gaming experience.

Next, while OLED monitors and TVs can’t get as bright as some mini LED displays, you still get a decent brightness performance for a punchy HDR viewing experience with a 200-nit peak brightness for a 100% white window and up to 650-nits for small HDR highlights.

The LG 27GR95QE also boasts a wide 98% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant colors and wide viewing angles.

Note that it uses LG Display’s W-OLED panel, which has a WBGR subpixel layout, meaning that there will be some fringing on small text and fine details, but this isn’t an issue in games and videos.

Further, OLED displays suffer from the risk of burn-in. If you display a static image for too long, bright elements can remain permanently visible. However, as long as you use the monitor sensibly and take advantage of its burn-in prevention features (screen saver, screen move, pixel cleaning, etc.), it shouldn’t be an issue. LG even offers a 2-year warranty that covers burn-in.

Check out our full LG 27GR95QE review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The design is robust with up to 110mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 10° swivel, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. It also comes with a remote controller and has RGB lighting at the back.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4 with DSC, a dual-USB 3.0 hub, a digital audio output and a DTS headphone jack with HP:X support for 3D audio simulation.

Alternatives

There are 6 more monitors that use the same panel. You can see how they compare in the table below. However, note that only the LG 27GR95QE, the Corsair 27QHD240 and the AOC AG276QZD have certified G-SYNC compatibility via available drivers.

The Acer X27U and the ASUS PG27AQDM should receive the official G-SYNC Compatible certification in a future update, but we don’t know when they’ll be released.

Best 4K G-SYNC Compatible Monitor

If you have a good enough PC setup to run games at high frame rates at 4K UHD resolution, then the following monitor is for you!

About The Monitor

If you prefer a higher resolution to a bigger screen size or a faster refresh rate, the LG 27GR93U is an amazing 27″ 4K 144Hz gaming monitor.

Image Quality

On a 27″ sized monitor, 4K resolution results in a high pixel density of 163 PPI (pixels per inch). In comparison, a 27″ 1440p display has 108 PPI.

This means that you’ll have significantly more screen space and sharper details with 4K UHD resolution. However, it will make small items such as text tiny, forcing you to use scaling.

Since 4K is also a lot more demanding than 1440p, we’re more inclined to recommend 1440p displays for gamers.

For instance, even with a high-end graphics card, the difference in performance between the LG 27GR93U and a 27″ 1440p monitor will be more noticeable than the difference in their pixel density.

This, of course, depends on the game, but we’re assuming you won’t be able to maintain a high frame rate at 4K in the majority of the latest AAA titles.

At any rate, you should definitely research 4K benchmarks for your GPU/CPU before getting a 4K display – and buy it only if you’re satisfied with the FPS results for your favorite games.

Moving on, the LG 27GR93U has a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut and features an sRGB mode with adjustable brightness. It also supports HDR and has VESA’s DisplayHDR 400 certification.

Features

FreeSync/G-SYNC Compatible is supported within the 48-144Hz VRR range.

Other features include various picture presets, custom crosshairs, Black Stabilizer, hardware calibration, and advanced image adjustment tools, such as 6-axis hue/saturation and four gamma modes.

Design & Connectivity

The LG 27GR93U boasts a slim design a good range of ergonomics, including up to 110mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, 90° pivot, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility, but no swivel to the left/right option.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC 1.2, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a headphone jack and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

We only recommend the LG 27GR93U if you can find it on sale for $450 and don’t care about proper HDR support. For ~$550, you can get the Acer XB283K KV with a 28″ 4K 144Hz panel and better connectivity options with USB-C (65W PD) and integrated KVM functionality.

However, around this price range, you can also get a 4K 144Hz gaming monitor with proper HDR support, such as the Acer XV275K P3 with a 576-zone mini LED FALD. Although it doesn’t have certified G-SYNC compatibility, VRR works just fine with NVIDIA GPUs.

About The Monitor

In case you want a 32″ 4K 144Hz gaming monitor, the MSI MPG321UR-QD is your best bet! It’s one of the most affordable models yet it offers plenty of features that the more expensive variants lack.

Image Quality

4K UHD looks incredibly sharp even on 32″ sized screens as you get a high pixel density of around 140 PPI.

What’s more, the MSI MPG321UR-QD has an exceptional color gamut, covering 100% of the Adobe RGB color space. You also get dedicated color presets for sRGB, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts.

Thanks to its DisplayHDR 600 certification with 16 dimming zones and a 600-nit peak brightness, some HDR scenes will look considerably better than SDR, but you’re still not getting the true HDR viewing experience.

The MPG321UR-QD isn’t quite as fast as the previous two smaller-sized 4K 144Hz models, so some minor ghosting can be observed here and there, but it’s not an issue for casual gaming. If you’re buying a monitor mainly for competitive FPS gaming, a 32″ monitor is too large for that purpose anyway.

Features

VRR is supported with a 60-144Hz dynamic range when using NVIDIA GPUs and you can use it at the same time as the MPRT-Sync backlight strobing technology.

Other features include Night Vision (improves visibility in dark scenes), various picture presets, on-screen timers, a refresh rate tracker, Mystic Light RGB lighting, crosshair overlays and Picture in Picture/Picture by Picture.

Check out our full MSI MPG321UR-QD review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 100mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 30° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options are abundant and include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, USB-C (DP 1.4 Alt Mode, 15W PD), six downstream USB-A 2.0 ports, three upstream USB-B 2.0 ports, a microphone jack, a headphone jack and an audio combo jack. There’s also a built-in KVM switch.

About The Monitor

If you want a larger G-SYNC Compatible gaming display, LG’s 42″ C4 OLED TV is your best bet.

Image Quality

Thanks to its self-emissive OLED panel, the LG OLED42C4 offers a basically infinite contrast ratio for true blacks, as well as an instantaneous pixel response time speed for zero ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

The TV also provides you with impeccable 178° wide viewing angles, a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut (sRGB mode is available too) and true 10-bit color depth.

LG’s OLED TVs cannot get as bright as high-end LED displays, but you can still enjoy punchy highlights with a 700-nit peak brightness!

The LG OLED42C4 TV offers plenty of useful features, including Black Stabilizer (improves visibility in darker scenes), 21:9 and 32:9 Wide Aspect Ratio for a wider field of view in compatible games on PC, various picture presets, built-in voice assistance, VRR up to 144Hz and 24p judder-free video playback.

Besides HDR10, the TV also supports Dolby Vision and HLG HDR formats.

Some gamma shifts can be observed with VRR enabled as near-black shades get brightened up in some scenes. LG’s ‘Fine Tune Dark Areas’ feature is meant to alleviate this issue a bit, but it comes at a cost of image quality/accuracy since lowering the setting affects shadow details, while increasing it elevates blacks.

Regardless, this issue is only noticeable in certain scenes of some games, so it’s manageable.

Design & Connectivity

The LG OLED42C4 has a design with legs to better fit on a regular PC desk, but there are no ergonomic adjustments apart from VESA mount compatibility. It has a glossy screen finish for a more vibrant image quality, but it’s reflective.

Connectivity options include four HDMI 2.1 ports, RJ45, tuner, composite-in, both analog and digital audio jacks, three USB 2.0 ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and dual 10W integrated speakers (no subwoofer though).

Best UltraWide G-SYNC Compatible Monitors

Ultrawide monitors offer extra horizontal screen space for a wider field of view and added immersion; here are the best G-SYNC compatible models.

About The Monitor

The LG 34GP83A is the most affordable G-SYNC Compatible ultrawide monitor we can recommend.

Image Quality

The 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution of the LG 34GP83A gets you that perfect ~110 PPI pixel density with plenty of screen space, sharp text and details, and no scaling necessary.

It’s also a bit more demanding to drive than 2560×1440, so make sure your PC system will be up to the task.

Moving on, the monitor supports a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, which is equivalent to ~135% sRGB! This results in more vibrant and lifelike colors.

Some users don’t like the over-saturated look that this wide color gamut provides for regular sRGB content, in which case you can simply use the provided sRGB emulation mode (restricts the gamut to ~100% sRGB).

Other specifications include a 400-nit peak brightness, a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio, and 10-bit color support.

The LG 34GP83A also supports HDR and has VESA’s DisplayHDR 400 certification. Some HDR content will look a bit better thanks to the monitor’s decent brightness and wide color gamut, but it’s still far from true HDR support.

Features

AMD FreeSync is supported with a 48-144Hz VRR range or 48-160Hz if you choose to overclock the monitor. In order to get 160Hz, you’ll need to drop the color depth support to 8-bit from 10-bit.

LG’s standard gaming features such as Black Stabilizer, crosshairs, and custom picture modes are available as well as On-Screen Control and Screen Split.

Another essential feature of the LG 34GP83A is its rapid 1ms GtG response time speed. In fast-paced games, you’ll get no prominent trailing or overshoot.

Design & Connectivity

You can adjust the height of the screen by up to 110mm and tilt it by -5°/15° – or mount it via the 100x100mm pattern.

The screen has a steep 1900R curvature for added immersion while the connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports (max 85Hz), a headphone jack, and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

We usually recommend the Acer XR343CKP instead of LG’s model. It uses the same panel as the LG 34GP83A, but it’s ~$100 cheaper and offers a USB-C port with 85W and KVM. It doesn’t have G-SYNC Compatible certification, but VRR works without issues.

About The Monitor

Looking for something a bit different? The Samsung OLED G9 might be just for you!

Image Quality

This gigantic 49″ 5120×1440 monitor has an aspect ratio of 32:9, often referred to as ‘super-ultrawide.’

It’s equivalent to two 27″ 1440p monitors put side by side, just without the gap in between them!

This format can really transform your gaming experience, as long as the game supports it – but most newer games do!

The monitor has a 100% white window peak brightness of ~250-nits, but it gets a boost up to 1,000-nits for HDR content for more vivid highlights!

Thanks to its OLED panel, it also has an infinite contrast ratio, instantaneous response time, a wide 99.3% DCI-P3 color gamut and wide viewing angles.

Unlike the LG 27GR95QE, the OLED G9 uses Samsung’s QD-OLED panel with a wider color gamut and a triangular RGB subpixel layout with better text clarity.

Check out our Samsung OLED G9 review for more details.

Design & Connectivity

The stand offers height adjustment up to 120mm, -2°/15° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. The screen has a moderate 1800R curvature and a semi-glossy screen finish for more vivid image quality, but the coating raises blacks when hit with direct lighting.

Connectivity options include DP 1.4 with DSC, HDMI 2.1, micro-HDMI 2.1, dual 5W integrated speakers, a headphone jack and three USB-C ports (1 upstream + 2 downstream). The G95SC model also has WiFi and Bluetooth.

Alternatives

The OLED G9 is available as G95SC with built-in Smart features (streaming apps, DeX, Microsoft 365, etc.) and as G93SC without Smart features for ~$100 less.

About The Monitor

Want something even more extravagant? Check out the Corsair Xeneon Flex with a bendable screen!

Image Quality

The Corsair Xeneon Flex has a 45″ 3440×1440 ultrawide screen, meaning that it has a lower pixel density than that of the previous displays. With roughly 83 PPI, you get the same pixel density as that of a 27″ 1920×1080 monitor, so text and fine details won’t be quite as sharp.

For gaming and watching videos, this won’t be a particularly big issue, especially after considering that you’ll sit a bit further from the screen, so individual pixels won’t be that noticeable. However, if you plan on using the monitor for a lot of office-related work, it’s not ideal.

Apart from the low pixel density, the Corsair Flex is an amazing gaming monitor! You can bend its screen from a steep 800R curvature to completely flat! Moreover, it has a high 240Hz refresh rate, a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and wide viewing angles.

It uses LG’s W-OLED panel, so text fringing is still an issue, but Corsair at least offers a 3-year warranty that covers burn-in! Brightness performance is also decent with 160-nits for a 100% white window and up to 800-nits for small HDR highlights.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz, and you get additional useful features, such as PiP/PbP, crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker and various picture presets.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is tilt-only and the screen is not VESA mount compatible.

Further, the screen has a light matte anti-glare coating that diffuses reflections, but adds a bit of graininess to the image.

You can get the desk clamp adapter separately though.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4 with DSC, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 30W Power Delivery, two USB 3.0 ports at the back and two at the front, a headphone jack and an additional upstream USB-C port.

Alternatives

Note that the price of the Corsair Flex ranges from $1300 to $2000, so we don’t recommend buying it unless you find it on a sale.

• LG 45GR95QE – LG’s version based on a similar panel, but with a fixed 800R curvature. It has a more ergonomic stand, but LG doesn’t offer a 3-year burn-in warranty like Corsair.

Conclusion

So, which G-SYNC compatible FreeSync monitor is the best one for you?

If you’re still undecided, feel free to leave us a comment below!

Overall, you can’t go wrong with the Dell AW2725Q, the LG 45GX950A and the Samsung OLED G9 if you want amazing HDR image quality.

If you just want a solid budget or mid-range gaming monitor, both the ASUS XG249CM and the HP Omen 27qs offer excellent value for the money, while the LG 27G850A is a premium display for SDR.
