MG28UQ, No reviews. What do you think??

So I'm in the market for a new 4k monitor. I've been looking around and from what I saw, I was originally planning on the pb287q. However, on Amazon, they showed a listing for this monitor saying it was the newest version.
Now, my question is:
Should I go with the MG28UQ? I want to purchase it but one SINGLE thing gave me doubt on my selection. It shows that it supports adaptive-sync freesync technology. Currently, I have a gtx 960 and plan on upgrading to either the 980 TI, or the new flagship card that nvidia is releasing soon. That said, neither have support for Freesync technology. Is this a bad purchase on my part by getting an "AMD" monitor? I'm not too concerned about getting over 60hz in any way, nor am I too worried about fps dips (not too much at least 😉).
I just want to be able to game at 4k resolutions without any ghosting. This monitor can deliver 1ms response time and other goodies to go along with it.

Some experience with this would be preferred and if I should or should not get this monitor. And if not, would you guys kindly recommend me something that isn't too much different than this price of $550? willing to look around the $400-$600ish range

Well if you are sticking with Nvidia, G-sync would be better, particularly now with a GTX960...

Nothing says you can't switch to AMD and get that slightly cheaper monitor. Polaris cards should be out soon as well. It will be an interesting year.

Not sure I would invest in a 4K monitor at 28" myself. 2560x1440 at 144hz seems more like a gaming platform and is high enough resolution to not be able to see the pixels at viewing distance. 32" at 4K on the other hand, maybe.

Well, to be honest my 960 isn't influencing my decision practically at all since after I get the monitor, I'm going to be buying a new card shortly after. I know for a fact that I will either be getting the 980 TI or the 1080 when it comes out next month. I'm not too concerned on the refresh rate either. 60hz seems to do well for me and wouldn't be a deciding factor on purchasing a new monitor.
Basically what I'm asking is: what would be the best 4k monitor I can get between the 400-700 dollar range? It doesn't have to be G-Sync or Free-sync, just something I know can hook up to the newest graphics card and give me a decent 4k resolution without any ghosting. Also, I'm really not gonna be using the monitor other than for close-up use. Which makes the extra 4 inches in screen space not a big difference. However, I won't go anything under 27-28".

28" 4K TN from any of the supplies is going to be more or less the same. Aren't that many companies making panels, so they are all likely to be the same part. Then it would come down to features and styling.

If you want to stick with more name brand companies, only other reasonable option is the older ASUS PB287Q. At the top end is the Acer one I linked above.

After some research, I was able to find an XB280HK that suits my price of about $700. Thank you very much in influencing me out of a decision I might have regretted! This monitor looks like a much more solid build anyways.
