Freesync monitors are coming anywhere from December this year onwards.
If AOC just started production again, how it's unrealistic to expect freesync? This product will be launching in 2015.
Soldato
Production of this monitor never stopped. And no, it will not be compatible with FreeSync. Maybe future models from AOC but not this one.
Caporegime
It's a bit of a disappointment, so what the hell happened with this monitor then?
Gibbos posted about possible LG ultra wides freesync early next year. This AOC now seems inferior on a larger scale.

Lets hope AOC makes a freesync curved one at a good price.
Caporegime
All stock ended up somewhere else.

So, when the rep said there was a problem in production and they're starting again. He was lying?
So, I was onto something when I said ; http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=27092483#post27092483 ?
Not sure it's very professional lying if that's the case then..

I cant comment on what he said, but you can buy these in plenty of other countries.
So looks like more than 3 people know

If it has that specific revision of HDMI or DP (1.2, or whatever is needed) then freesync is a feature that could be enabled?
Caporegime
Wouldn't feel comfortable buying outside of the UK.
Oh well, may's well just wait for the LG Freesync then.
I'd love for the rep to come back and explain his words in that case then. What's the point having a rep on the forum if they're going to lie to the consumer? After all, we're the ones buying the damn thing!

AMD said there's only like one Vendor currently producing monitors that have the potential to be freesync capable from the off. Chances are that isn't AOC.
Oh well. I'm quite annoyed now
Yup, completely agree about the AOC rep. It would be nice if all these companies would start to tell the truth for once.....
IIRC, does freesync not only work with DP 1.3 and DP 1.2a, however, the 1.2a monitors will need a firmware upgrade... I am not aware of many, if any manufacturers that update their firmware for monitors? At least, I have never had to or been notified of firmware updates for all of my monitors.

Freesync isn't a mandatory standard, so one can't go off the DP version.
Freesync support in DP 1.3 is just as optional as it is in 1.2a. At least I think so.
And as regards the situation, it explains why my question was ignored.
If this was an AOC mess up, shipping the stock elsewhere (Again, why's it taking like 12 weeks for more stock? Even trickles of stock would surely come?) surely OCUK must be getting a better price on the AOC when the stock does come in?
The whole situation doesn't make any sense from the standpoint of a potential customer.

Why does it matter? maybe he got feed wrong info etc, jezz, if you want the screen so bad then you will wait for it.
Caporegime
What's worrying is you find it acceptable for vendor reps to lie to customers?
If he got fed the wrong information, then why hasn't he came and updated people? There's obviously people in the know.
Caporegime
Im not commenting as you are now putting words into my mouth, maybe he was wrong/misinformed or other. It doesnt matter, I still want the screen.
Caporegime
Well, the reason it matters is the principle of lying to potential customers. It's just plain wrong and unprofessional.
If you're questioning why I find it matters, the only logical conclusion is you find the behaviour acceptable? Questioning why it matters isn't the attitude of someone who is on the same wave length.

No. I haven't said that at all.
DO NOT TRY AND MAKE ME LOOK BAD IN THIS THREAD!
People make mistakes, big deal, this thread is about a monitor not what someone may or may not have said or got wrong.
Or,
Perhaps Im wrong and there is a specific issue with the UK model, doesnt matter.
Caporegime
It doesn't matter to you maybe, certainly matters to me.
I'll leave it at that then.
