FreeSync monitors hit mass production, coming in Jan-Feb

I don't see the problem anyway most guys who running 4k will be aiming to keep 60fps and they should do considering the GPU power needed.

If you can not keep a 60fps then it's time to upgrade.

BenQ is at CES and is 30-144hz @1440p

Most probably my new display.. But am now stuck if I should get the Asus 1440p 120hz IPS display

Ahhh cool and I didn't realise that. I would be a little hesitant on the UPS purely because of the input lag and colour bleed/ghosting that I noticed on the Dell UPS I had but I would jump on the TN asap.

Whats the difference between ups and IPS? I understand the Asus 1440p 120hz IPS Freesync compatible is IPS..

Am just little worried of all the bad things you hear about response time and input lag.. This reason am thinking just playing safe and buying BenQ one. Am very happy with TN and the newer TN is ment to be even better.

This is the part where potential freesync customers need to do their homework before making a purchase and where mileage may vary from one person's freesync experience to the next.

From what we have seen so far, this seems to be very much the case.
when buying anything that has a brand name technology compliance stamp on it, you expect it to work flawlessly. If I was AMD I wouldn't be too happy with the monitors that only have a 40-60hz range. But due to the way they have brought this technology to market. they have taken control of it away from themselves.
I'm sure we will end up with monitors that have very good ranges, but also there will be some that have poor ranges like the 40-60hz monitor one.
As you have said it really is going to be up to the consumer to do their homework before buying.
 
I really don't see what / why people argue against free-sync in any way shape or form.

Nvidia made a technology very close to this over a year ago, yes .... but that is not to say this will not be just as good. Also anyone calling freesync / adaptive-sync a "hack job" really doesn't understand how much better having an industry standard that enables the implementation of freesync is vs one company hacking an extra fpga + ram onto a monitor (in essence all g-sync monitors have this module ... if anything g-sync is the "hack job" or trial run of the idea)

Ill say again freesync is NOT adaptive-sync its AMD's driver implementation.

I can see intel making use of this technology for smooth / power efficient media playback in the future. As well as embedded systems that support display port.

People can argue that :-

  1. As its not in the 1.3 / 1.2 display port standard that it wont take off
  2. There is not garrantee that the monitors will be cheaper than g-sync

Id say that :-
  1. As it was only announced last year it was too late to be included in 1.3 fully, but id be very surprised if 1.4 lacks it
  2. just looking taking the cost of the fpga + ram will save a fair pit of money, but even it it only gets £30 cheaper at least thats something ... id take the pizza i could buy over using a closed standard any day ;)

3DFX invented it. "wah wah wahh no they didn't NV's is DIFFERENT!!11" Same idea. Of course if we were talking AMD you would say they copied, ripped off, bodgejob'd it etc etc



Pray tell, what makes it a "hackjob" compared to gsync? Oh that's right you don't know what you're talking about and just mindlessly smashing AMD as usual.

Lol i think it's safe to say SLI has changed so drastically even since it was introduced by NVIDIA on the PCI-E bus.

It's a good job though, ATI weren't in any position to absolve anything. Pie and chips perhaps.

Yeah that ghosting is one thing I hate.. I had a TV that had slow response time and it was shocking.. Blacks would leave a trailing effect..

BenQ it is. I don't think I could risk going through all that.

I'd suggest waiting for reviews. If your TV showed 'blacks leaving a trailing effect', that would specifically indicate poor high-contrast or x-black black-x transitions. Such is typical for VA panels or much older IPS panels. Pixel responsiveness of modern IPS-type panels (including AHVA which these models more than likely use) is vastly superior. I am in no doubt that they will be able to make a good go of the increased refresh rate, significantly reduce motion blur and give a much more connected feel than modern 60Hz IPS-type models. Which are on par with 60Hz TN in terms of motion blur, incidentally. But I am not confident they will give quite the same overall fluidity as the faster 120Hz+ TN options.
 
Yeah this was couple years back, it was a Samsung 100hz lcd/led round the time these be came the big thing.

It was poor, sent back and went with philips TV that I still use today and runs sweet.

Initial FreeSync Impressions
Now, my initial impressions of FreeSync is that it's on an equal footing to GSYNC in motion quality. At least by first impression, without looking closely at them "under a microscope". FreeSync certainly eliminated stutters and tearing, just like GSYNC does, even if the methods/technologies work somewhat differently. A future article will probably compare GSYNC and FreeSync. Many sources have reported various pros and cons of GSYNC and FreeSync, but a major one that sticks out: Lower cost of implementing FreeSync.

Sounds good fellas, so do your homework and dig into the wallet and enjoy. Plenty of options, so no excuses :)
