LG to release 27-Inch Full HD Monitor With AMD FreeSync Technology
LS will release a new 27-inch monitor tagged under SKU codename 27MP68VQ-P. It's again a Full HD monitor, this round with an 27-inch AH-IPS LED-backlight monitor (w/ ultra-thin bezel design) provides 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio (maximum 5 million:1), 250 cd/m2 brightness, 5ms (GTG) response time and 178/178 degree viewing angles..
The product is FreeSync compatible. The monitor is also packed with a number of advanced features such as Black Stabilizer – to increase the visibility of the dark scene, Flicker-Safe function – for ensuring a zero-flickering viewing experience and Blue Light reduction function – for reducing eyestrain.
For input ports, the 27MP68VQ-P provides 1x D-Sub, 1x DVI-D and 1x HDMI. The LG 27MP68VQ-P will begin shipping from April 25th for around 31,000 Yen (about $287).

I read:
27" FHD + FreeSync... OK
AH-IPS + 5ms(GTG)... OK
Zero-flicker... OK
Blue-Light-Reduction... F* that already, I am afraid of screens removing colors from my world.
Then I read:
1x D-Sub, 1x DVI-D and 1x HDMI... Where's Display Port?
And who does need D-Sub on Digital Flat Panel in 2016 coming at such price?
ASUS has practically same monitor at lower price with addition of DP + MHL and it is available in last 2.5 years (Yes, without Freesync, but does FS guarantee sales at inflated prices?). And ASUS is one of overpriced brands...
Samsung is even funnier with this. Since monday i own freesync screen S24E370D, this display has vga, hdmi and display port ports and cable bundled with this display is... vga!
I had to buy display port cable separately.
P.S.
Now i'm trying to figure out how to use freesync, it seems to be working only in freesync demo but not in games... Another funny thing: this screen has disabled freesync by default, to enable it you need to go into display menu and enable it. Here is something curious: you can choose between two freesync modes: standard engine and ultimate engine, i have no idea what is difference between them but enabled ultimate engine, just in case.

No instructions manual to clarify the difference between both engines?

Manual stands this:
Off : Disable FreeSync.
• Standard Engine: Enable the basic FreeSync functions of the AMD graphics card.
• Ultimate Engine: Enable the FreeSync feature with a wider range of screen frame rate. Screen tearing (abnormal sync
between the screen and content) is reduced in this mode. Note that screen flickering may occur during game play.
By digging more with google i found info about some LG freesync display with similar options and in its case standard engine is freesync range of 50-60Hz while ultimate engine stands for range 40-60Hz. My display can do up to 75Hz and freesync on it works from 40 up to 75Hz if i am correct.
I just figured out how freesync works and i have to say that i was expecting more, effect is not that impressive as i expected but yes, it is noticable, it is nice, it is ok.
Overall i'm satisfied with my purchase as this display is really nice. At some departments not as good as my crt but as far as i know this is issue of all lcd/led displays.

Perhaps try reading up about blue light before posting comments like this. The Blue spectrum produced by White LEDs used in the backlight of a modern TFT are harmful to the human eye, cause maccular degeneration its also disrupts sleep patterns. There are a lot of panel makers who are doing their best to improve this by using blue filters, they should be applauded. The ones that ignore this...they should be taken to court for causing an incurable degenerative disease.
