This one is supposed to be out in March.
there is an Asus MG279Q - 1440p 120hz IPS A-sync coming, so far it appears to be the best one.
1440p version isn't freesync compatible if I remember correctly.
BenQ XL2730Z is now in stock across Europe.

That does seem a bit odd.
us is only 1440p, so HDMI would still be fine.
I thought adaptive sync was part of the displayport 1.2a spec though, so I'm assuming that won't even work over vga/hdmi/dvi.
Also, don't you need hdmi 2.0 to drive content over 1440p displays at 120Hz? None of the current amd cards that use freesync have that yet. The 380/390 probably will, but that's not here yet, even if it did support freesync.
Until this monitors performance is fleshed out, I don't think ANYONE looking to get an early freesync display should buy this. If freesync really is only usable from 56Hz to 144Hz, there is no point buying it.
The frequency is dictated by the monitor. Freesync can go much lower. If it's limited to 56Hz on this monitor then that's because the monitor can't go lower without needing to refresh the pixels and you'd get flicker.
The Swift reportedly flickers below 40Hz, for example.
How does something like this get released without a single review
I read somewhere that the freesync drivers won't be released to the public until the 19th of this month. If that's correct they may just be waiting until those launch to test that functionality, and perhaps a more general review would want to touch on those aspects in addition to the rest of the panel so they may as well wait.
So, do you think AMD doesn't have working drivers in house yet? I find that hard to believe. I keep watching what AMD does to see if they're going to turn the corner marketing wise, but something like this makes me think that they aren't yet. I know AMD doesn't make or market the monitors, but I would have to think that the monitor manufacturers would want to make as big of a splash as possible when releasing a new product and have AMD be on board with the release.
There were reviewers swooning and drooling all over Gsync monitors months before they were released to the public. Here we've got the monitor being sold and not even one single review. It makes no sense. AMD keeps getting new CEO's but little changes, it seems. It's frustrating!
Support for new hardware. This driver is the first one with support for FreeSync, AMD's alternative to G-Sync. Both G-Sync and FreeSync are designed to smooth game animation by making the display's refresh rate match the in-game frame rate. AMD tells us FreeSync monitors are currently in mass production, and the displays are being validated with the Catalyst Omega driver. Expect FreeSync monitors to show up in stores in January or February.
I'm sure they have working drivers. The reasons to hold off before releasing them to the general public could potentially be wanting more time to work out any bugs or glitches so the experience works as smoothly as possible. But this is all speculation. I agree this should already be out though. Both the monitors should be out and the drivers and reviews.
Hothardware had the first FreeSync monitor review up today, sadly the monitor had a sync range of 48 to 75hz only.
Follow the link for the review:

Adding a small excerpt:
the LG 34UM67didnt wow us like some other monitors we have evaluated lately due to its relatively low pixel density, limited dynamic refresh rate range (48-75Hz), and a few other minor quibbles, but at $649 for 34 of real estate, an IPS panel, and FreeSync support, we cant really complain. The LG 34UM67s 2560x1080 resolution is also low enough that you wont need monstrous amounts of GPU horsepower to game smoothly at its native resolution.

Why in dog's name would you get a 34" monitor that is only 1080?

yeah, if they dont get it down to 30, its pretty pointless.
