The situation has changed a little bit recently with the introduction of adaptive synchronization monitor standards(GSync and Freesync). On PC this means that f

  Yes, but it still drops the frame as far as I know (works like a charm by the way, in my experience).

  Indeed, that's what I meant by "most hardware", but that hardware is definitely outside the reach of most people right now. Firstly, consoles don't support adaptive sync, and most tv's don't either, so that eliminates all PS4/XB1 (and their derivatives). Then to actually get a screen with GSync, you're talking ~350 pounds [0] for an entry level one, and realistically you're going to need a medium to high-end graphics card (looking on nvidia's website seems their support is actually far better than I expected it to be). Unfortunately, for the majority of people adaptive sync is still a few years off, and I'd be surprised if we saw it this decade.

    GSync is expensive because it needs a special chip in the screen. Freesync is cheap and has been made into a standard.

      GSync is expensive because NVidia know people will pay for it.
