Well if they are releasing a new specific range for Freesync, it makes bad business sense for them to offer a firmware update. So I highly doubt any manufacturer will offer firmware updates and they will all bring out new models.
*FreeSync monitors* Whats available?

Thanks that what I thought all along.
OTOH It'd give them good publicity and consumer kudos
Can but hope...
They are a business and profit will always be king to them.
Am I being optimistic in expecting a Freesync 27" 1440p screen for £350 or less to be released before January?
The reason i ask is that I was all set to buy one of the current 1440p screens available before the release of GTA V but naturally I dont now want to buy a non-Freesync screen now that we know they're coming soon.

Actually is called Adaptive Sync and is VESA standard for the 1.2a Display Port and onwards. (not the 1.3 though).
It's "street" name is "Freesync" because on contrary to Nvidia Gsync it doesn't require a separate module to work, which costs money and restricted to Nvidia cards only.
However, do not expect old tech to use it. Is like asking why the XXX graphic card or monitor, cannot run HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.2a. Because the hardware simply wasn't designed to support them.
Also because is a under VESA Standard, Nvidia can support it also (anyone can even Intel), however it seems they opt out to ignore it and keep milking their customers.
Because if someone buys a GSync monitor, and want to use variable refresh rate, is forced to use Nvidia graphic card until the monitor is replaced.
ofc you can use the monitor with another card but it will not support it
Closing, if Intel gets it working with the next gen of IGPs going to be fun, because here we going to have pretty low powered graphic modules, been able to play games even at 30fps and not feel like a slideshow (ok quality wise going to be pants though).

Can't technically call it milking when it's still the only available market option.
You may see it as such, but you're still without variable refresh. G-Sync users aren't.
True, no?

Really?!
Dammit, gutted about that. I really want a freesync update for my 97...
Any chance it could be flashed in by a 3rd party?
Ditto. Been praying a 1440p Freesync screen becomes available before GTA5 comes out.
I assume the specs in your sig are accurate? If so then be aware the 280X does not support freesync for gaming.
Yeah i know, when i buy a monitor i'll be buying a new card too.

There is a youtube video of someone from amd on a thread on OC saying the lg is 3440X1440 and another site mentions it.
Also two same rez monitors with only size being the difference seems a stupid idea between 29-34 though very possible.
Someone's wrong with the infos which ever way we look at it.

The Samsung models of the SE590 series are likely be TN refreshes of their SD590 (at least the 28" model will) be. The other series is the SE850, not SE580. The model designation suggests a 'WVA' (Wide Viewing Angle) panel which will either be VA or more likely PLS or AHVA. It will not be IPS, Samsung don't use LG panels.
Oh and the BenQ is TN.
Yes, I saw it, but half of what he says is wrong for whatever reason. So I'd put my money on AMD's official investor relations site (the link I gave). Also look at the model number, all LG's **UM6* are 1080p.
Well that's already the case with current models: 34UM65 and 29UM65, they just changed 5's into 7's.
