also on BestBuy forums they mention it will be available "Most likely 3- 5 weeks" on their online site only. i'm thinking about buying it from when it becomes available there, or from CC if i can't wait. do you guys think it's worth it?

No.

Too much, and it ties you up to 1 brand of graphic cards.. and who knows how long the G-Sync fad will last or just get replaced by something else.

Out of stock everywhere, and stores seem to be slowly increasing the price because of it.

CC won't get it for at least a month (they have said). NCIX is only getting what people order, and that takes a long time too (online only). Would never order such an expensive monitor online, because dead pixel return would be horrible. Bestbuy would be an option, but they are really slow with this kind of stuff, especially when its an item hard to obtain. I bet 5 weeks would be optimistic.

I'm surprised the demand is so high. It's possible that Asus didn't make many though because of the high price tag.

I'm on the fence already. I have two 1440p monitors (one 60hz, one 110hz), but the G-Sync is tempting given that I have a 780.
