Does the Perfect Freesync Monitor Exist?

So i'm planning on upgrading my GPU when Vega 10 comes out (dependent on performance/reviews etc.) and have decided that when i do, i want to upgrade my monitor as well. Having used a friends freesync monitor, i can say that freesync is a must.

BUT, i can't seem to find one that fits all of my (admittedly high) criteria? I don't really want to settle for one that falls in one area either, because in Aus i'm going to have to drop $1200 - $1500 on it to get what i want. For that money, i want it to be perfect.

So im putting out the question, does anyone know of any monitor out/on the way which:

Has Freesync, and a decent range,
Has a 1440p OR 2160p resolution,
Has a high refresh rate (144hz preferably)
Is physically large, ideally 32"-34"
And is ideally an IPS display

The Acer Predator XR341CK is Almost perfect, only lacking in refresh rate. If i was going to buy today and couldn't find one that ticked all of the boxes then thats the one i'd choose.

Bonus question, What would be your perfect monitor?
 
I think people have "hacked" FS monitors and adjusted the refresh rate. I don't know how to do it, but if you wanted to find out how it's done it's definitely worth researching. I don't know of any other monitor that has what the one you already are looking at has.
And honestly, I don't think you'll get passed 75FPS at 3440x1440p unless you plan on Xfire. I don't even think a 1080 could do that(don't quote me on that though), so it shouldn't be too bad, if only just mentally annoying because you know it's there

Cheers. I have heard of Overclocking the refresh rate, but i've always wondered what happens to the freesync range if i do. Lets say i could overclock that monitor to 85hz, does that mean the freesync range will change with it? Or will the freesync range still top out at 75hz?
