          How much is freesync contributing to the cost here? I have an Nvidia GPU in my PC and might use this with my PS4 as well. Is this still a good buy for me?

          just wondering. 
anyone tried running emulation on these things like 
PSA1, DREAMCAST,  SNES,  NES,  Genesis. 
 
how does a 144hz monitor look on eemulations vs a 60hz?

          You hate it for wrong reason. This is a genuine gaming monitor because the extra price is for features like high 144 Hz refresh rate, low Response Time, AMD FreeSync support etc. For Text editing,...

          144hz is certainly more of a "gaming" feature, and not something you see on every display.
