“The BenQ EX3203R FreeSync 2 display features stunning color, contrast, and detail in every pixel and is an exceptional addition to the FreeSync 2 family,” said Scott Herkelman, Vice President and General Manager, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. “The past three years have been very exciting for AMD’s FreeSync technology and we’re thrilled to bring even more choice to PC and console gamers with BenQ’s latest monitor. Gamers can experience fluid, artifact-free gameplay as well as high-brightness pixels, excellent black levels, and a wide color gamut for HDR content, all without compromising on price.”
In addition to eliminating image tearing, broken frames, and choppy gameplay, FreeSync 2 raises the bar for PC and console gaming displays by requiring panel characteristics such as a large dynamic refresh rate range and low latency for exceptional HDR viewing experiences. Correspondingly, EX3203R’s exceptional color reproduction, together with superb contrast performance and ultrafine detail rendition ideally equip it as the perfect HDR video and gaming display platform. Combining HDR with Brightness Intelligence Plus eye-care technology, EX3203R provides long-term eye comfort for extended gaming or video watching sessions while delivering spectacular HDR images to preserve dark detail clarity for human eyes to perceive easily, even in dim environments:
Brightness Intelligence Plus detects ambient color temperature and brightness to automatically adjust display brightness and color temperature for the most comfortable and accurate viewing experience, avoiding overexposure in bright scenes while preserving subtle details in dark scenes.
Flicker-Free Technology provides immediate relief from eyestrain by eliminating the 200+ times per second flickering that plagues conventional LCD screens.
The monitor has now started listed at just over 500 Euros.

Doesn't HDR need 1000 nits to work properly?

No, but commonly accepted is a peak HDR brightness of 600 nits (and above).

Something missing from every HDR display advertisement.
That's the fact you will have a heap of heat saturating your face as you sit within 16" of the screen.
Its gets mighty hot and uncomfortable in front of a HDR screen and the curved screens just lens the effect.
Something to keep in mind before you purchase one. expect to sweat.
In fact i think reviewing heat generated from 16" away from middle of screen should be a factor and measured.
1000 nits be fine for a tv but for a monitor 600 is plenty.
600 is blinding that will make you squint because its just over the top bright.
1000 nits in my opinion is only good for a tv where you will be 4 to 6 feet away.
(in my opinion)

Huh, never was aware of that, but it makes sense since they have a lot more going on in terms of lighting. Thanks for mentioning it though, I too would never have thought about such a thing before buying a monitor.

Still don't get why people would consider buying anything that has above 1ms response time.

It is quite normal, but I think it is still much more comfortable than just walking by large industrial NEC Plasma or any other.

Well a 32" VA 1ms 144 hz WQHD 16.9 curved 1800R with HDR quantum dot display with 600 peak nit brightness with freesync 2 10 bit and a 92% rgb coverage running @ 78 watts.
I honestly cant see why anyone would bother with anything else at this price.

This is where its at now.
not this 4k because we a few generations away before we can 100 fps @ 4k in ultra settings.
Va is the best it has the best contrast ratio for gaming.
It isn't the fastest TN is for speed.
It isn't for colour accuracy neither thats IPS territory.
VA panel vertical alignment best all rounder.

vega 64 runs WQHD with relative easy 2560x1440 Navi isnt in any way needed.

Are you refering to this then?
"It is possible for a display to meet the FreeSync 2 HDR requirements but fail the DisplayHDR 600 minimums. Such a display may have the DisplayHDR 400 logo and the FreeSync 2 HDR logo, but it would be exceeding the minimum requirements of DisplayHDR 400."
Ok, thank you.

Yeah, correct, I mean it could not be vaguer. But basically, they're saying there that HDR400 still qualifies for FreeSync 2 HDR.
I think at one point they accepted HDR400, regretted it and moved to HDR600. However, they cannot turn back as the manufacturers already make use of this.
