[SOLVED] Meaning of "Supports both Adaptive-Sync with NVIDIA GeForce*"?

[kenzy9]

Does it mean not officially supported G-Sync Compatibly certified?
So there's no guarantee it'd work with Nvidia GSYNC? Is that correct...

I'm confused why the product page won't just say "G-Sync Compatible" as a term.

Honestly thought it meant was a Non-certified monitor otherwise..!?
