Eizo, a leading maker of high-end displays, this week introduced a premium 27” monitor, which weds IPS [in-plane switching] panel, 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync technology. The combination is pretty unique since the vast majority of displays with 144Hz refresh rate feature cheap TN+film panels.
The Eizo Foris FS2735 display with 27” IPS panel has 2560*1440 resolution as well as LED backlight. The monitor is designed specifically for gamers and features Eizo’s proprietary motion blur reduction feature that controls the blinking of the LED backlight as well as AMD’s FreeSync technology that dynamically synchronizes refresh rate of the display with the frame rate of AMD Radeon graphics adapters to eliminate stuttering and tearing.
The unique combination of Eizo’s traditional quality, an IPS panel, 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync will likely make the display rather popular among demanding gamers, who want to have vivid colours as well as extreme refresh-rate along with AMD’s FreeSync. So far, only Asustek Computer has introduced a similar display.
The monitor features one DisplayPort, two HDMI ports and one DVI-D input. The device also integrates dual-port USB 3.0 hub as well as two 1W speakers. The display comes with G-Ignition Mobile software, which allows to adjust display settings using smartphones. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4St3cm4Ghc ‘]
The Eizo Foris FS2735 will be available this winter (e.g., in late 2015). Pricing is unknown, but typically Eizo displays cost slightly more than monitors from other companies. The product will come with a five-year manufacturer's limited warranty.

KitGuru Says: AMD FreeSync is getting more popular among display makers. Implementation of the technology is free and easy: manufacturers only have to use a compatible display scaler available from multiple vendors. Perhaps, eventually, AMD FreeSync will become a standard/default feature of displays aimed at gamers and multimedia enthusiasts.
Yes more brands are stepping up their quality. I hope by 2016 we get a 34″ ultrawide 1440p 144hz IPS display in time for when i build a new pc
Gsynch works better, Freesynch doesnt seem to do much.
Gsync is practically DOA, only living a short life thanks to early adopter nvidiots.
uhhhh what?
Fanboy detected.
Freesync does plenty and is way cheaper on average as well as offering more options to connect to the display.
It’s true that g-sync has better way of handling refresh rates below the dynamic range of a display by default but it also has a greater potential range if the display makers care to make use of them.
The quality of a freesync display depends more on the display manufacturers and their choice of components then G-sync so you’re not guaranteed as high a quality solution as with gsync when using buying a freesync monitor.
But it could also potentially be quite a lot *better* then the gsync monitors on the market as the tech develops.
After all the tech isn’t just limited to the research done by *one* company.
Or you just run everything in borderless windowed mode and turn v-sync OFF. Yes, i said turn v-sync off. It’s the same result without the $200 premium of g-sync. As far as I have tested anyway.
