Iiyama ProLite B2888UHSU will get freeSync Update
Good news, Iiyama's ProLite B2888UHSU-B1 is world's first LCD display that promises to support AMD's FreeSync technology. The screen will ship without support for it, but later on a firmware update will be released allowing freesync.
ProLite B2888UHSU is iiyama's first 28" monitor. It features 4K2K resolution (3840x2160) and offers therefore a gigantic viewable area with 4 times more information and work space than a Full HD screen. Due to the high DPI (dots per inch), it displays an incredibly sharp and crisp image. Users can easily create their own work space by displaying and manipulating multiple applications from two different data sources (i.e. two different PCs) side by side, mimicking a multi monitor set up using only one screen.
Iiyama's ProLite B2888UHSU 4K monitor offers a 60Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time making it ideal for gamers and incorporates a special 1 chip solution to help reduce input lag. Also featuring blue light reduction to help reduce backlight bleed and flicker free technology. Iiyama have gone out of their way to offer a monitor with great features and it even includes a height adjust stand with VESA mount ability.

ProLite B2888UHSU features an ergonomic stand which is height adjustable. An extensive range of connectivity options include DisplayPort for true 4K content support at refresh rates of up to 60Hz, 2xHDMI, with MHL support. The latter enables content from a mobile device to be viewed on the screen.

Don't see the point of this 3840x2160 screen res below a 40" screen size.
Just for bragging rights I think.
I can see the point. Ppi is just really low on even 23" 1080p screen. Text rendering would highly benefit from higher resolution, believe it or not but it would make things more readable in many Asian countries. It will obviously look much better in games too.

I've seen it and I can confirm it - by looking at 15.4" laptops, the text on 3k one looks way better than on 1920x1080 screen, which is miles ahead of 1366x768. And I don't even mean Asian characters.
I wouldn't even mind 4k 24" monitor.

Well considering a human eye can detect aliasing at a resolution up to 2 arcseconds, I think you're wrong.

I read elsewhere that you have to ship the monitor back to Iiyama for them to flash it for you. I know some people wouldn't bother, and if true, it should be noted.
