FreeSync
FreeSync technology is solution that eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency. This feature will eliminate screen tearing and lag during game play. Improve your gaming experience.
FreeSync is only available in HDMI mode.
•• Off: Disable FreeSync.

•• Ultimate Engine: Enable the FreeSync feature with a higher screen frame rate. Screen tearing (abnormal sync between the screen and content) is reduced in this mode. Note that screen flickering may occur during game play.
When select Ultimate Engine mode, please use maximum screen refresh rate for optimal freesync effect. The refresh rate setting method please refer to Q & A How can I change the frequency?
――The FreeSync function is only enabled in HDMI or DisplayPort mode.
Use the HDMI/DisplayPort cable provided by the manufacturer when using FreeSync.
If the FreeSync function is enabled, the following may occur:
•• The screen may flicker when you play games depending on the game option settings. Decreasing the game setting values might help to remove the flicker. Installing the latest drivers from the AMD website may also fix this issue.
•• The response rate during the game may fluctuate depending on the resolution. A higher resolution generally decreases the response rate.
•• The sound quality of the monitor may be degraded.
――If you encounter any issues when using the function, contact the Samsung Service Centre.
