The Nerd Techy GC573 review (dated July 2, 2018) corroborates the same model and states the price verbatim as a "manufacturer suggested retail price of $299", with its 2018 publish date fixing the release year. VRR is not listed in the official spec table (unlike the newer GC575/GC553G2), so vrr_support is left null; hdr_passthrough is true per the spec's "2160p60 HDR" passthrough line.
