There is an ips version of this screen with 4ms response that is identical otherwise, but it was around £670 last I looked.

There is an IPS version, however, there is not a FreeSync version.
So, to answer your question. No. There is not.

I think this is the cheapest price currently, but I can't get myself to part with 460 when it sold for 413 just 2 months ago :disappointed:

Yeah it sucks, pretty sure I chose one of the worst times to build a pc.

And don't expect it to get that cheap again anytime soon. Pound has plummeted and they aren't manufacturing too many of 1440p 144hz+ screens due to quality control issues.

True doubt it will drop again, but currently this has to be the cheapest G-Sync 144hz+ 1440p monitor I've seen, but where are the cheaper Freesync ones @. This would be no good to me with my R9 Fury.

It's generally a bad place to look for a FreeSync deal in the Gsync monitor deal thread ;-)
The problem is two fold.
The more expensive screens are paired with more expensive (stronger/better) cards.
NVIDIA sell the premium graphics cards right now, while AMD are struggling to compete with the midrange card.
That along side the lack of quality controls with FreeSync, it's open source, comes with a plethora of mediocre screens that barely do any sort of adaptive refresh.
Some are only doing adaptive refresh within 45-70 hertz range, what's the use of that?

Picked this up for £453 a few days ago, wish I tried a TN panel months ago instead of wasting time and effort on the IPS lottery. They're not perfect but their imperfections are less annoying than the current gaming IPS monitors by a long stretch.

But there are also more good FreeSync monitors than there are G-Sync monitors, due to the fact that there are far more on the market total, and those are also a lot cheaper than their G-Sync equivalents. It's nothing to do with the market positions of AMD and Nvidia, but simply the cost of implementing the G-Sync module in the monitor. FreeSync monitors also have advantages in terms of connectivity. G-Sync displays are very limited in that regard.
Equally, there's no reason to actually buy one of the bad FreeSync monitors, because you'd have to be absolutely crazy not to be doing some fairly thorough research on a product before dropping hundreds of pounds on it. Something like the Acer XF270HU, a 144Hz 1440p IPS FreeSync monitor, can be had for under £400 and has a 40-144Hz FreeSync range. A comparable G-Sync display would cost you at least £150 more. Even this TN panel with similar specs costs over £70 more.
AMD have new high end cards arriving soon, and personally I'm planning to get rid of my 1070 and pair one of them with a FreeSync monitor (probably the XF270HU I mentioned). I can't justify paying £150+ just for a G-Sync module.

Opening post
It's not the IPS version, so if that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere, but for gaming, the 1ms response on the TN panel is unbeatable.
Great reviews all round.
