Nvidia has been pretty vague about why so few adaptive sync monitors it tested ended up passing muster for G-Sync compatibility.  In a recent blog post, however, Nvidia finally shed some light on the situation. There are various reasons, but according to Nvidia, over half of all monitors tested failed for lacking a variable refresh rate (VRR) range of at least 2.4:1, or 60Hz to 144Hz, "meaning you were unlikely to get any of the benefits of VRR as your framerate wasn't within the range offered."
 
Out of the 475 monitors that failed Nvidia's testing, 273 of them were denied certification for that very reason. As for the remaining 202 monitors that failed, Nvidia said it came down to image quality (flickering, blanking) or other issues.
 
Very interesting information. I was very curious about this process.

    It’s interesting but I am wondering if G-Sync will really get enough support in 4K gaming monitors since it costs more.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Personally I wouldn't take nvidias word for a whole mountain of salt.
    I would not be surprised in reality this is all horse hockey and more monitors passed then what nvidia has said as they still make money from gsync monitors
