A recent Nvidia driver update added G-Sync support to some FreeSync monitors. That means Nvidia graphics card owners no longer have to pay the (typically) higher prices for G-Sync displays, as FreeSync screens are typically cheaper. Case in point: Acer's 1080p 1440Hz FreeSync display is currently $160 on Newegg. That's $60 cheaper than the original MSRP.

The Acer ED242QR is a 23.6-inch 1080p monitor with a VA panel. It supports FreeSync, with a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. While it's not on Nvidia's list of officially-supported FreeSync displays (not yet, anyway), there are reports from owners that it works fine with G-Sync. The only major downside is that it doesn't support VESA mounting, so you'll have to always use the included monitor stand.
