Samsung U32E850R 32-inch Ultra HD Monitor with AMD FreeSync Now Available
Samsung made its premium 32-inch Ultra HD monitor with AMD FreeSync support (model: U32E850R) available in retail stores. It is priced around US $1,199. The U32E850R features a 32-inch PLS panel, with 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) native resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, 350 cd/m² maximum brightness, 4 ms response time, and dynamic mega-contrast. The panel also offers 30-bit color (1.07 billion colors). Inputs include DisplayPort 1.2a (needed for FreeSync to work), mini-DisplayPort 1.2a, and two HDMI. Samsung appears to have finally learned from feedback for its flimsy T-shaped stand, and gave this monitor a conventional rectangle-base stand that offers swivel, tilt, and height adjustments. Paraphernalia include a USB 3.0 hub.

It a good monitor, but the Asus Rog swift i had earlier had a better built stand. A Fury X is incoming, so i never had the chance to test freesync. Will test it directly in windows 10.
Personally i have been drooling over the Philips bdm4065uc partly because of the 40" size, partly because of the VA panel (less bleed and higher contrast than IPS)
Edit: Wait; what is the point of an adaptive sync monitor when it can only handle 60 Hz? That's not going to provide much benefit.
DP 1.3 is limited at 4k as well to 96hz, you can get 120hz but at 8-bit.
You'll have to wait for DP 1.4 for 4k standards at 120hz
And not many gpu setups can run todays games at 4k at 60 fps so it does benefit.
Dell U2414H (1080p) = € 230
Dell U2515H (1440p) = € 320
LG 27MU67-B (2160p) = € 600
Was thinking the same when i got the 30" i have now, but at the moment it does not fill my entire FOV. Also want a screen for use as a couch screen.
I knew i could have had lower inch monitors but 32 was really the size i wanted from the get go, when i started to design my office (it supports a 32 inch monitor), cause really, at lower sizes, 4k is going to be too small.
4k, 32inch IPS, freeSync.
I had before a ASUS rog swift with a 750ti, just to test g sync, but since nvidia made g sync in laptops without modules, it became clear to me they were full of bullshit, so i decided to switch camps.
Not to mention the ASUS monitor had no other input and i couldnt use my PS4 with the monitor.THats why i made the change.
