U3425WE, does it support VRR/Adaptive Sync?
Curious if the new U3425WE supports any kind of adaptive sync, specifically over DP (or using the TB4 DP alt mode)? It seems like it doesn't list the branded versions from either nVidia (GSYNC) or AMD (Freesync) but will the monitor automatically adjust its refresh rate with software that supports it using DP/TB4 alt mode? The manual says this about the vertical scan range:
Vertical scan range • DisplayPort & Thunderbolt™ 4: 48 Hz to 120 Hz (automatic)
This is literally the only thing preventing me from purchasing the monitor -- otherwise it seems like exactly what I need for office work and some light gaming in the evening.

VRR (variable refresh rate) or sometimes called Adaptive Sync Technology was only built into the Alienware monitor line. Both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync were built on "top" of the baseline VRR Adaptive Sync Technology.
If we look at the Alienware AW3423DW sales page Tech Specs, it specifically calls out Adaptive Sync Technology --> Nvidia G-Sync =
Versus the U3425W sales page which does not mention VRR or Adaptive Sync Technology. Also, for certification, AdaptiveSync Technology requires a monitor that can do at least to 144Hz. The U3425WE max is 100Hz.
