Samsung 2018 QLED TVs will support 120hz Freesync and VRR
Samsung announced it will release QLED televisions (I am not talking about monitors here) in 2018 that are going to support variable refresh rate technology (VRR) which is possible with HDMI 2.1, as well as FreeSYnc. Samsung announced this at a technology congress in Milan.
The 2018 QLED LCD TV models, as well as the mid-range NU8000, will support refresh rates up to 120 Hz at a Full HD resolution, reports flatpanelshd. next to that, the 2018 Samsung TVs will support two variable refresh rate systems. If you are a PC game, here comes AMD FreeSync. Your PC or compatible console will remain in sync:
FreeSync is one of the systems supported by Samsung’s new TVs, meaning that you can use them as a capable gaming monitor for your PC. Then there are the HDMI 2.1 models, these can support VRR (variable refresh rate), which is the HDMI Organization’s standardized version that pretty much is FreeSync but intended for TVs. Right now Samsung’s 2018 TVs do not feature full HDMI 2.1. These TVs are still based on the HDMI 2.0 interface standard but manufacturers are allowed to cherry-pick certain features from HDMI 2.1 to bring to HDMI 2.0 based TVs.
Samsung also mentions it has further reduced input lag on its 2018 TVs, down to 15.4 ms in the game mode. It is expected to be “less than 7 ms” in VRR mode. In addition, Samsung will implement ‘Fast FRC’ (frame rate compensation), allowing users to use Samsung’s motion compensation system together with a game console for an average of 24ms input lag. Fast FRC is supported by the NU8000 and the 2018 “QLED” LCDs. The Xbox One S and One X will be the first devices to support HDMI VRR. It will be added through a firmware update this year. FreeSync is supported by a range of gaming PCs today.

Lol really? Thats as good as it gets for TVs mate. Less than a single 60fps lag is not causing any problems...
Personally I'm disappointed with 15ms in game mode

Do you realize that there are a LOT of TVs with subpar HDR experience because they simply can't reach REAL 1000 nits in normal use , they don't have local dimming (or very few zones) and even use 8 bit panels!!!?
You do realize that 1000nits isn't required for something to be HDR, right? It's the number several of the standards have determined to be the the qualifier for their endorsement but it doesn't mean something is or isn't HDR.

Everytime i see this in the news i'm think: "Oh cool, and OLED from Samsung."
But then i notice it's a Q and it's just LED we had for decades.

Personally I'm disappointed with 15ms in game mode and also with HDMI 2.0 and 120hz only at HD res.. I've played for a year now in 4K on the TV, and the 60hz is an issue for online FPS play as well as the input lag - none of which are solved with the new set. It is a step in the right direction, but not a reason to switch TV (for me).
