I've been looking for a 1080p g-sync monitor for awhile. I was hesitant to order from Amazon or New Egg because of the shipping return policy. I basically didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping stuff back if defects were found. When I heard Best Buy was selling g-sync monitors, I knew this was where I was going to buy one.
My monitor was perfect. I was using an old sony 3d PS3 tv as my monitor before. The leap to g-sync made a big difference. The animation in games are more fluid. I could definitely see more frames. I would get dizzy and noxious after playing Doom for an hour on my old monitor. I did not get any headaches on the Asus Rog even after playing Doom for 3 hours. So G-Sync is definitely worth it for eliminating my headaches alone.
About the 1ms response time, I didn't think it mattered when playing online. I thought ping was king. However, with this monitor, I can tell the difference. When playing WOW with the same ping as before, my actions felt quicker. It just seems magical.
The build quality is excellent. The only settings I changed to get a good picture from initial settings were: Brightness - 35 Color Temp - Normal Turn off DisplayPort Deep Sleep.
Then I used the Windows 10 calibrate display color app afterwards.
This is definitely the best monitor I have ever owned. You will not regret your purchase.
