FREESYNC is here!

[r7slayer]

The technology is here its just getting rolled out to products, so in a sense yes it's here. Free sync is here just not in the products yet so the thread isn't wrong. Just the haters looking for a angle to hate on.

And you have to ship it back because the manufacture probably are not keen on letting consumers flash their updated firmware to their monitor. I can understand why. Can you see the amount of bricked monitors floating about? Which will give them a massive headache.

God dam its not like anyone is forcing you to buy this monitor now if the reason why your getting it is for free sync and 4k just wait a little while longer, so just pipe down jeeze.

Yeah i see... but the thing is most electronics have updates these days so i don't see why this should be any different

Because monitors don't work the same way. Most electronics these days are what you are referring to things which are connected to the actual pc which can get auto updated quite easily, even with a manual patch that you auto execute your self.
Most monitors don't really have a input device which allows you to do this. Thats why...

Old news indeed.

The First FrreSync monitor for sale now?

Fairly sure there was a thread even before that one, some 4k spec me thread gibbo drop blatant hints in

Better wait until they are actually Free-Sync off the shelves, Tommy right now the AMD haters have an excuse to hate with then not being Free-Sync off the shelf.

Predictably like some OCD thing going on they jumped on it needing a firmware update at this point ^^^

Yep, I mean absolutely no one here pointed out at every opportunity the first gsync unit needed modified and wasn't an off the shelf unit in some petty point scoring exercise did they

Not a question of hate, just a question of the fact that you cannot actually buy it and use it yet, so it isn't really here yet is it .

And you have to ship it back because the manufacture probably are not keen on letting consumers flash their updated firmware to their monitor. I can understand why. Can you see the amount of bricked monitors floating about? Which will give them a massive headache.

The whole thing smacks of iiyama realising that their currant model is compatible, so lets try and cash in on a few quick sales. If it was a website it would be slated for being click bait.

Oh so it's not really here yet then.

That's funny I'm looking around the room and thinking hmm, most of these electronic devices are software updateable. Tablet, phone, skybox, blu-ray player, Xbox, amp, Tv, router, PC's.

Isn't HDMI a two way capable interface.

I've not shipped a monitor before but don't a lot of courier companies refuse to ship monitors? Or at least insure them?
I'm pretty sure insured delivery to and from Europe is gonna cost a fair chunk of money!

I mean if this counts then surely the add in board for the Asus monitors counts too for GSync? I'm sure when timelines were being argued that the FreeSync supporters were arguing that that didn't really count for GSync...
