Nvidia’s G‑Sync Pulsar Monitors Launch This Week Starting at $599

The esports‑centric 27‑inch range uses row‑tracking backlight strobing synchronized to VRR to claim a fourfold boost in perceived motion clarity.

Overview

  • Retail availability begins January 7, with 27-inch 1440p 360Hz models from Acer, AOC, Asus and MSI at a starting price of $599.
  • Pulsar implements Regional Backlight Pulsing that strobes horizontal zones in step with the panel’s scanout, paired with G‑Sync Variable Overdrive.
  • Nvidia says each frame is visible for roughly 25% of its duration, yielding over 1,000Hz of perceived motion clarity for reduced blur in competitive play.
  • All certified displays add Ambient Adaptive technology, using a built‑in sensor to automatically tune brightness and color temperature, with controls in the on‑screen menu.
  • The first wave includes MSI MPG 272QRF X36, Asus ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV, AOC Agon Pro AG276QSG2 and Acer Predator XB273U F5, using MediaTek scalers rather than a dedicated G‑Sync module, with vendor performance claims awaiting independent testing.
