They should make WQHD models too... but the question remains, will they be able to keep the release date this time? And how expensive will it be?

15/08/2014 Monitor available in 2015

Sample and retail availability..
June 2014: AMD show the first monitor supporting Free-sync

May 2015: VESA announce DP 1.2a Adaptatyve Sync.
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/vesa-adds-adaptive-sync-to-displayport-video-standard.html
So in May they was announce they expect to see products in 6-12months.. after that Vesa have complete the standard
nothing against you, i know many peoples ( including me ) who have make the misstake between the words "samples are send next month" and the retail availability.. sample are not production models, but test models.
Maybe in early 2014 they was think it will be available in the end of the year.. but in between, there's VESA who had do their standard and finalize the DP1.2a, this take time to be created and validated, etc etc.
All i have done is doing a research here in guru3D news..
18/09/2014: Scaler vendors annonce support for DP 1.2a

Cant help but pity those who jumped into the G sync camp thinking there doing the right thing.
How foolish they must feel after reading this thread.
I know I would hate myself if I blew a tone of cash on tech that's obsolete 6 mths after release..
Well it don't pay to be loyal I hope this will teach them a lesson.

Mistake...not even close. First there was VHS and BETAMAX. BETA was the superior format but lost out to VHS. Then there was LaserDisc and DVD came and trounced that. But LaserDisc was out for a good while before DVD appeared. Then most recently there was HD DVD and BluRay. BluRay won that battle. G-SYNC was announced and now on the market. FreeSync is still nowhere to be seen. If a FreeSync demo existed, there would have been talk here about how the two techs compared. Sadly there is not even a demo yet. So to say the early G-SYNC adopters blew it has yet to be seen. Retail is fickle. Until the techs can be seen side-by-side no mistakes can be made. It is impossible.
This is exciting news but no one knows how this will play out. If I had an Nvidia card, there would be no hesitation on grabbing a G-SYNC enabled monitor. Why, because it exists and AMD's version is still unproven.

Examples were given to show that just because there is competing tech, there is no guarantee that the better tech will prevail. It also gives insight that early adopters get to enjoy whatever tech is released longer and like the video examples, the market will decide which survives and which dies regardless of quality.
EDIT: Just like DVD and BluRay still share the market, G-SYNC and FreeSync could just end up existing side-by-side for as long as the tech survives.

Look like 2 IPS monitors are coming too from LG in the start of the year.

Apparently FreeSync supports 9-240 While Gsync supports 30-240 Hz. Huh.
