When I plug my Xbox in through HDMI, there is obviously no audio because the monitor does not have speakers. How do I connect my Xbox so that video is displayed on this monitor, while audio either goes to my audio interface or some headphones?

blah. a 144 hz display with a 4ms response time? That's like oxymoronic of each other. lol Forget g-sync or freesync, those are shitty additions to a monitor you really don't want to ever use. a 1ms response time is vital for a 144hz display, otherwise it's a waste of money.

This isn't how it works at all. You think for that somehow the response time adds to the refresh rate? wtf?
As long as the refresh rate is below 6.94ms (which even though it's advertised as 4ms, even the best TN panels barely hit 4ms response time when overdriven, so it's probably more like 6-7ms) every time a frame is displayed you have a total of 6.94ms to respond, and if the response time is less than that, you won't notice any blurring.
In case you're still confused, consult tftcentral or pcmonitors for more information.

You almost hit the nail on the head here, but the actual numbers are just wrong. If your monitor has a 144Hz refresh rate, it refreshes 144 times per second, or once every 6.9ms. If you have a 1ms response time on it, then it will take between 1 to 7.9ms for the latest rendered frame to be displayed (depending on when it was rendered by your GPU relative to the last screen refresh). If you have a 4ms response time, it will take between 4 and 10.9ms for that latest frame to be displayed after is it rendered. HOWEVER, your screen refreshes once every 6.9ms, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR REFRESH RATE IS. The only difference between the two is how new that displayed frame is. Granted, that is an important difference, but it is the only difference. You will still see the exact same number of frames, no matter how short the response time is.

Let me weigh in too. If you have Geforce GPU get something with G-sync and if you have a AMD GPU get something with Freesync. Don't say stupid things like "what a waste to have AMD freesync" - it's a perfect investment for an AMD GPU.

What a waste to have AMD Freesync on a monitor like this. When AMD holds less than 16% of the GPU market it seems like a total waste to make products specific to their hardware. The monitor would be better and cheaper without it. Oh well, still might be worth it if it actually reaches 279, I'll keep my eye on it.

PramienjagerMSI has to PAY for G-Sync. G-Sync is licensed, FreeSync is not. This is the reason BenQ now no longer makes G-Sync monitors.

finn.staceyYeah, I understand Gsync is way more expensive to implement (and really isn't better). That is why I said they should just leave it out. Even though the licensing for Freesync is "free" it still cost R&D money and manufacturing money to implement it.

I love the prices, but I would not buy anything if there is no info or review on the item. I do not count a few reviews from people that have bought the product.

Zeyfer24" would've been perfect size for 1080p. More than that, the pixels arent that great.

Price and specs should be good enough i guess for a PC that runs on RX 580. Although the lack of video review on this monitor is troubling.

RubenNandaFrom what i've read from all those text review, it sounds good but video review would be better. Helps me deduce how good it looks physically.
Picture doesn't do justice. Though im hoping for massdrop to do CFG70 samsung monitor soon.
