W Hotel, Singapore – As part of the AMD #FutureofCompute event, Joe WC Chan of Samsung announces two new monitors, the UE590 and UE850, that will support AMD FreeSync technology right off the bat.
For the uninitiated, AMD FreeSync is a royalty-free technology that reduces, if not eliminates, screen tear which is usually caused by the non-optimized communication between the monitor and the graphics card.
When paired to a GCN 1.1 graphics card (or any AMD graphics card from here on out), a FreeSync monitor connected via DisplayPort should provide a smoother gameplay that doesn’t come at the cost of lag which we all saw with V-Sync.
Samsung is the first manufacturer that announced an Ultra-High Definition monitor that supports FreeSync out of the box. The UE590 comes in two sizes 23.6-inch and 28″. Meanwhile, the UE850 will be available in 23.6, 27 and 31.5-inch variants.
Pricing and availability were not announced during the launch event.
