Nvidia announces 65" 120Hz displays with 4k resolution, HDR and g-sync
Nvidia announced Big Format Gaming Displays, a series of screens with a diagonal of 65" with features that make it ideal for gaming, among others Acer, Asus and HP would release models and they include panels up-to Ultra HD, HDR and G-Sync.
The 65 "monitors get a 4k resolution and peak brightness of a thousand cd / m2, Nvidia reports. "PC gamers expect high performance and instant response times, but, until now, they've been largely limited to traditional desktop displays," said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. "BFGDs change that. With NVIDIA's latest technology built into these new displays, PC gamers can now experience their favorite titles in all the low-latency glory they deserve."
At the heart of BFGDs is the latest G-SYNC HDR technology that synchronizes the display's 120Hz refresh rate to that of the game at every moment in time. This G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate technology delivers a highly responsive, smooth, tear-free, immersive gaming experience unmatched by any display of this size.
Additionally, the 4K HDR display features a full-array direct backlight, 1,000-nit peak luminance and DCI-P3 color gamut for the ultimate in visual quality.
Ultra-Low Latency Gaming
Nothing is more important to gamers than responsive gameplay. G-SYNC technology brings the ultra-low latency found in G-SYNC desktop gaming monitors to the BFGD when gaming directly on the PC, Android, another console or using NVIDIA GameStream technology from a desktop or laptop gaming PC.
Big Screen Streaming
The integration of the Android TV-based SHIELD into BFGDs allows gamers to easily switch between gaming and other forms of entertainment. The bundled SHIELD remote and game controller allow for easy navigation and access to all of the world's biggest streaming apps, including Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube and Hulu.
With support for the Google Assistant, the entire experience can be controlled simply by using your voice. G-SYNC HDR technology also supports video playback at native framerates, including popular 23.976, 24 and 25 FPS formats. This matches the screen's refresh rate to the video source's actual frame rate, eliminating interpolation and presenting the video content as it was intended to be viewed by the director.
General availability is expected this summer when pricing and further specifications will be announced.

Yeah, I agree that having HDMI 2.1 is pointless on this screen due to G-Sync, but it should have some sort of HDMI input. A screen that size is likely to be used as more than just a PC monitor by many people.
I'm aware there are adapters and DP supports audio, but I'm unsure what difficulties you would run into.
Ironically, G-Sync is the one feature that is most likely to push me towards an AMD GPU, as Freesync doesn't seem to feel so restrictive. I don't just mean the need for DP, but it is one thing that deters me.

For real, there's so many more freesync options and they're always lower price for the same specs. I want adaptive sync for my next monitor and I was planning on getting an 1180ti or whatever the equivalent high-end consumer volta card is gonna be, but then my only option is gsync which really limits my monitor options and also raises the price a lot.

Yep, I was reading that even the Xbox One X has support for Freesync.
I know that Freesync was technically behind for a while, and there are a lot of cheap, crappy screens out, but the fact I'm limited to just the PC and just one brand of GPU just puts me off.

The fact is, its a Nv display, they have no reason to "worry" about freesync support or consoles etc.
By the time you run decent fps and/or gsync with games, its not gonna be a console anyway,
hence HDMI is not really needed (except maybe for BD/cable box) as DP does everything (HDMI does) except audio, and so far i haven't seen a mid/upper Nv card that doesnt have DP.
I was oblivious to use DP as well, until i switched to 1440p@10/12bit...
