Yes, hence why I said in the future... They will


I see no reason why some of the first ones wouldn't support it.  4K requires DP and so does Freesync.  Freesync will be a premium feature at first and 4k very much so is a premium feature now.  Expect to seem sooner rather than later.

There are 4k monitors already out and most dont support it so... And yes, when 4k becomes more affordable for consumers, then people would choose the ones with G-sync/FreeSync but it will be in the future...

Just to clarify, by future do you mean a couple years from now?  4K monitors are already ~$500 and when I say Freesync ones will be available soon I mean within a few months since obviously  freesync doesn't come out for a few weeks at the earliest.

Well... the 4k monitors we have right now are, for the most part, pretty terrible... A lot of the "lower" end 4k monitors such as the dell one which costs $500 have issues such as having a 30hz refresh rate or having terrible color shift when viewing from different angles and etc so I think that 4k still has a bit ways to go before things like IPS panels get implemented at an affordable price.

And yes, freesync is not available yet but I do think that it will only really start to take off near the end of 2015 to 2016 at minimum. There will be monitors with either freesync or g sync enabled but for the most part, I doubt they will be worth it for most people until 4k ready monitors become more affordable and less shitty


Again wrong.  My brother bought a NEW Samsung 4K 60Hz monitor for under $600 a few months ago.  Yeah it isn't IPS, but its color is still far and above most 1080p monitors, and you get 4x the resolution.  They are already here, look around.
