I really hope this comes with Freesync and/or Gsync. I've been thinking about swapping my TV out for a decent monitor for a while but there's nothing big enough with the right technology.
All the big screens are 4K, which practically NEEDS variable sync to play games on as no single GPU can hold a stable 60Hz at High/Ultra, yet.

I think you've missed the point slightly, this most definitely won't have either as its a monitor aimed at the professional/business market.

While I definitely agree with your point I can't help but feel sad. Will nobody ever realise there's a market for larger panels with technology that's becoming for granted in the smaller sizes?
I really wish Freesync would become a mandatory part of the DisplayPort standard.

There's a nice Phillips 40" that's been on the market a year or two and there's definitely a market for it.
40" isn't that big. I bought a 42" plasma about ten years ago and we moved all the furniture back against the wall as it was overbearing. Now we look at the 40" and think man that's tiny that should go in the bedroom.
4K 43" probably isn't targeting gamers so yeah it's a pretty nice panel. I also agree it would be nice if freesync was mandatory but Nvidia would probably sue for anti competitiveness.

I've been on 32" for eleven years and my wife still argues that 40"+ would be too big and that 32" is fine, even though she struggles to read subtitles.
I doubt NVIDIA could sue if Freesync does become a mandatory part of DisplayPort as its open license. NVIDIA even uses it under the title "Mobile GSync" already. It really shouldn't come as a surprise that a free open standard would be more widely received than a costly proprietary one would.

That's part of the position description for a Wife (or any significant other) 
Displayport supports it but to make it a mandatory feature would mean that any future DP enabled monitor would have to make use of it regardless of whether it was required or not. I'm thinking enterprise/workstations etc would have added costs for no reason.
Would be like saying every panel must have VESA mounts. I just can't see it happening - as much as I'd like it to!

Depends on price
If the price is about £450 I would consider it but if they are saying more like £600 I would just buy a Korean monitor instead, Ive seen and read really good stuff about the Korean monitors from Wendell and the guys at Tek Syndicate and I plan on upgrading to either the AMH A409U or such when the new CPU'S and GPU'S hit the stroes some time this year.
