No, it's probably closer to 3-6 weeks.3-6 months I guess. Models was recently announced at CES.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8854/amd-shows-off-multiple-freesync-displaysOverall AMD and their partners are still on target to launch FreeSync displays this quarter, with AMD telling us that as many as 11 displays could hit the market before the end of March.

"before the end of March" is 10 weeks maximum. I highly doubt that all the monitors will suddenly appear on March 31. Some will most likely be released before then. So we could easily see the first FreeSync monitor hit the market in three to six weeks.Before the end of march is ~10 weeks.
Not that I'm aware of. The rumor mill speculated that a couple models might have been available by then, but I believe AMD always stuck to the Q1 2015 timeline.Didnt AMD also say before the holidays?
http://hexus.net/tech/news/displays/74897-amd-freesync-monitors-available-q1-2015/Now that AMD has partnered with the above named scaler unit manufacturers a broad availability target has been set for Q1 2015. That is the date from which you will start to see DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync and AMD Project FreeSync compatible monitors emerge.
Before the end of march is ~10 weeks.

Displays are expected to be available in market starting this month with additional models set to launch in early 2015.
I think that was WCCFtech or Fudzilla that said that. Freesync was slated for 1q 2015 I believe so they have no later than March to hold to their promise.
You mean AMD's FreeSync?
Huddy said on stage end of November that they would be available before end of 2014...
I could be mistaken, but I thought he said they'd be sampling by the end of the year, not released to market, it's been a while though.

FreeSync has nothing to do with Enduro. We could just as easily say:Just remember even once it's released it could be plagued by problems that AMD denies and then takes years to (kind of) fix. Look up their Enduro fiasco.

Let's just stick to FreeSync discussions here and wait for the reviews to come in before we start speculating about issues that don't even exist.

While I get what you are saying, that isn't exactly a fair comparison. One is a progression of existing tech, and one is completely new.
I still don't expect many problems with Freesync.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. . .
I'm trying to say that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to a completely new technology is not exactly the same as being worried about a new model of GPU that has been progressing for years.
That makes no sense.
Firstly, the point he was making is that his statement was ridiculous and could apply to essentially every large tech manufacturer.
Secondly, It isn't like Nvidia didn't have years and years of experience using bumps. They are used on every chip. They made poor choices and poor engineering decisions and then poor PR and customer service choices.
So in fact, just because something is a new model of a GPU progressing for years in no way means it won't have problems. As was evidenced by... bumpgate - issues with a common engineering solution that had been around forever and Nvidia still got it wrong.
FreeSync panels entered mass-production last month, and AMD says 11 of them will be available by the end of March. Asus' MG279Q, too, is due out late in the first quarter. The number of capable displays will grow to as many as 20 by the end of the year, AMD predicts, so there should be a nice stable of them for Radeon users to choose from.
