Samsung and FreeSync

Looks like Monitor + GPU upgrade in the next year for me. :D
 
It's amazing that people keep getting Freesync and Adaptive-sync confused...

How are DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync and Project FreeSync different?
​DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync is an ingredient DisplayPort feature that enables real-time adjustment of monitor refresh rates required by technologies like Project FreeSync. Project FreeSync is a unique AMD hardware/software solution that utilizes DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync protocols to enable user-facing benefits: smooth, tearing-free and low-latency gameplay and video.​ Users are encouraged to read this interview​ to learn more.

Freesync is the way in which AMD will implement variable refresh rate in their hardware (GPU) and software (drivers), while Adaptive-sync is the DisplayPort standard that enables variable refresh rate in displays.
 
Samsung, if you're out there and can hear me, 1440p-144Hz-FreeSync Please!!! I really don't want to have to go nVidia! A 1440p FreeSync version of the S27A750D is all I want for Xmas!

According to Anandtech, expected release is March 2015, so I guess review will be a while still.

I'm hoping that with Samsung and the strongly rumored LG, that we'll see some other makers onboard and hopefully trying to get to market sooner...
 
I was planning on getting a new monitor from Black Friday deals, but after reading this article and a few others I decided to wait for these FreeSync monitors to hit the market. Hopefully they'll be significantly cheaper than G-Sync monitors.
 
Figures it would be Samsung - a lot of their previous monitors dont work with Nvidia technologies like 3D Vision and you had to hack in tridef support that just didn't work well at all.
