Samsung Launches First Monitors in UHD Line to Deploy AMD's FreeSync Technology
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced the introduction of the U24E590D and U28E590D, the first Samsung UHD monitors with AMD's FreeSync technology. These UHD monitors offer unprecedented picture quality for gaming, entertainment and multi-tasking activities.
The U24E590D and U28E590D are the first UHD Samsung monitors with AMD FreeSync capabilities. FreeSync synchronizes the monitors' refresh rates to eliminate large jumps in frame time for noticeably smoother multimedia use. The integration of AMD FreeSync is especially beneficial for gamers, who will notice an immediate increase in responsiveness and the elimination of screen tearing and shuttering.Flawless Display and Multimedia Experience
The U24E590D and U28E590D's UHD display (3840x2160) offers users discernably sharper text, images and video content. Previously uncaptured content and a brightness level of 370cd/m2 that further enhances the visual experience with incredibly rich and vibrant colors, all on a flicker-free screen. Both monitors also use HDMI 2.0, which supports a 60 Hz frequency to view content smoothly, while the 28" has a 1ms response time.
With Samsung's Game Mode technology, the visual experience is intensified by rapid response to changing colors and brightness, which enables users to see more vivid images even in darker scenes. The U28E590D monitor also supports 1 billion unique colors which is 64 times greater than the conventional monitor.
Enhanced Productivity, Connectivity and Usability
Both monitors offer powerful multi-tasking tools; with Picture-in-Picture technology, users can watch their favorite movie in one window while working on a spreadsheet in another and the Picture-by-Picture feature allows users to connect two PCs to the same monitor. Additionally, DP and HDMI ports means that there are no limits in connectivity as two different devices can be synced to the same monitor.
The crystal-like clarity of the UHD display reduces strain on the eyes, allowing users to play and work more efficiently on their screen for extended periods of time.The U24E590D is priced at $399.99 and will be available beginning July 26, 2015. The U28E590D is $599.99 and available now.

That is very affordable. I have no reason not to upgrade to 4K now.
The SUHD TV from Samsung I saw the other looked amazing. It was selling for $1600, which isn't much for a 4K 52" TV TBH.
Just because you don't like my opinion doesn't mean I'm a troll.
Again I will tell you; G-Sync is SUPERIOR in my personal experience with both technologies. Superior enough that I have purchased another G-Sync monitor and GTX980 for my wife's PC despite the additional cost. I wouldn't have done that if I could get the same experience for hundreds less.
Both variable refresh technologies require displayport connections... moreover, why would you be connecting non-variable refresh capable devices to a variable refresh display? Why did you spend the additional money on a variable refresh display if you don't intend to use it? Your supposed issue is a strawman.
As far as why people pay more for the same or similar tech and performance from nVidia, like yourself? Don't know. It makes no sense to me.
As far as my strawman, there are people who hook other components to their PC monitors. That's why they often offer more than one input of a certain type, like multiple DP, for example. Unfortunately the Gsync module only offers a single DP input.
Some Freesync monitors even have HDMI 2.0 which AMD cards don't even support, but nVidia does. From all of the negative feedback from nVidia supporters about AMD cards not supporting it, it must be an important feature for nVidia users. Since no Gsync monitors have HDMI 2.0, seems like these nVidia users clamoring for HDMI 2.0 might like these monitors.
BTW, that last paragraph was a strawman, since in reality HDMI 2.0 derves no useful purpose. ;)
If the target use case is more variable refresh INcapable devices than variable refresh capable why not save yourself the hassle and get a non-variable refresh capable display. Again, if you require additional inputs you get something that supports your usage case. Anything else is making up excuses to dislike a product that has zero effect on you. If you can only afford one display you get one that fits all your needs.
Also, if you want to talk about "X has been changed so get with the times" then you need to read up on some of the new G-Sync displays that will be coming out with more inputs or you're simply accusing me of the same bias you're showing. www.pcper.com/news/Displays/Report-Acer-XR341CKA-219-G-SYNC-Monitor-Has-Multiple-Inputs
The moment the FreeSync displays in my office are updated with new firmware and I see a difference in the observed performance I will gladly change my tune. My employer almost exclusively uses AMD graphics in their PCs, including the FirePro W7100 card in my workstation... sadly it doesn't support FreeSync (UPDATE: YES IT DOES! YAY), so I don't have the monitor on my desk. Yet. We're all making the move to either 3440x1440 or 4k displays soon, so hopefully I can request a FreeSync display for my workstation. Using it daily for my simulations would be awesome. I hate tearing almost as much as I hate ghosting.
I would love to see you come back and comment when you've used both personally, as I have. Until then you're just regurgitating someone else's nonsense about something you haven't experienced for yourself.
EDIT: And yes, I 100% agree HDMI2.0 is a strawman. Right now it doesn't really matter since it's so new, beyond a decidedly small percentage of enthusiasts that have made the jump to 4k televisions. In a year or two it will matter a lot more.
