A good review and very in-depth of Freesync running on the BenQ and the LG monitors at PCPer

Looking good so far but needs a little work still according to Ryan and his final thoughts are:
It's a terrible review and it's not surprising to see you posting it. It's borderline retarded review. Blaming ghosting on different settings available on different monitors. Also difficult to say without the screen if it's ghosting or overshoot, many screens have excessively over aggressive settings that cause awful overshoot and under aggressive settings that aren't pushing the panel hard enough and do show ghosting.
As others have pointed out, they turned off a setting and boom, no ghosting. They are inherently blaming freesync for ghosting from a panel based setting. Thing is any reviewer who read even 1 monitor review would know about overdrive settings and what was responsible. He instead posited that the g-sync module was supplying more voltage to the pixels than on freesync screens. The guy is a moron and he's claiming G-sync is better because he's ignorant, that isn't a good review.
Without a doubt the best piece of advice you can get on the FreeSync/Gsync debate I have read since AMD announced FreeSync:
Update:
Meh, I don't buy that, for one thing Intel is likely to support adaptive sync in general in the future and for another Nvidia WILL eventually move g-sync software to include working on adaptive sync screens. Hardware wise g-sync adds cost and removes features, extra ports and many screen features go missing. The only questions are, will widespread support for adaptive sync and Intel/AMD having full support on all of them force Nvidia's hand to make it free and widespread as well or will they continue to license it. In which case while it will work with adaptive sync it will likely still lock out non paying screens at the driver level as they've done with other features.
Intel support for adaptive sync along with AMD might force Nvidia's hand, in which case all these adaptive sync screens have the possibility of potential support from Nvidia cards, the reverse is absolutely not true.
Even if Nvidia go the pay route, we've seen hacked drivers helping physx/sli support on chipsets/mobos where it works but Nvidia have purely locked it out via the driver blacklisting a non paying monitor... when(not if but when) Nvidia move g-sync to support adaptive sync, even if they force monitors to pay for it, there is a chance someone will hack support for other adaptive sync monitors.
Ignoring freesync/g-sync on the screen, with an adaptive sync screen you have a fully featured screen with several inputs and other features. With g-sync most normal features these days are missing. They'll be easier to sell as they'll be worthwhile screens for anyone and might have adaptive sync for almost everyone as well, g-sync will lack many features and very few people(in the future rather than today) will want all those limitations on features when other screens without those limitations are available.
