$500 for this monitor seems like a pretty great deal, or am I wrong?

Reasons:
I'm on an Asus PB278Q right now, but I'm interested in 4K and definitely want to use Freesync.
Yes he means scaling the interface for windows. I assumed that you wanted to game? Thats why freesync?

The price isn't an issue at all, I've just been waiting for a Freesync monitor that appeals to me (and I waited too long to jump on that Acer 1440p Freesync monitor on Black Friday), so 4k + Freesync + high quality display + low price seems almost too good to be true.
I'm going to jump on it I think.
Whats up with everyone's gripes about TN?
I had a $100 Newegg gift card sitting around, $230 for a 4k freesync monitor is OK in my book.Order Summary

I received my monitor today.
I really love it already; the stand is kind of chintzy, but the display is crisp and Freesync is totally noticeable. I feel like my Fury X is actually having to work now (I know it did @ 1440, but still) and while I drop into the 40s playing GTA 5, everything is ridiculously smooth and creamy.
Nice, I may look into that in the future.
It is not 349 anymore that was on sale, its 433 on new egg now. It uses the same panel as the Samsung, as far as it vs IPS its better than a regular TN but not as good as IPS. If not having IPS issues are important than this is the best you can get (short of OLED which would be ungodly expensive)
Hmm that is strange I went ot the newegg link from earlier and it said 433 strangeOriginally Posted by NBrock
According to New Egg and Micro Center it is still $349

I think I might order one when I get paid Friday.
Like you said the colors aren't a huge deal to me...it is nice though having IPS but I would have to agree it's not a deal breaker for 4k and Free Sync.
