Well have you seen the video?

 

Seems to be working to me - maybe a custom Monitor driver or something wonky.

Presently, Freesync requires that the monitor manufacturer uses a controller chip that has been certified / tested to work with variable refresh rates over Display Port 2.0.

 

The list of "supported" FreeSync monitors is currently just a list of monitors that have been tested / certified to have one of the controller chips that are confirmed to be working with AMD FreeSync.  It's entirely possible that the BenQ monitor in the video coincidentally happens to have a controller chip that is compatible with AMD FreeSync.  But for whatever reason, that particular make / model of monitor just hasn't been tested / certified to be compatible with AMD FreeSync.  

 

Usually when this happens, it's because the current number of these monitors that are out there in the field is so small that it wasn't a priority to test / certify yet.  Or, it's because the monitor manufacturer cannot guarantee that every monitor out in the field (with that model #) uses one of these Freesync-compatible controller chips.  If that is the case, then the monitor model # can't be certified with AMD FreeSync, because they can't guarantee that every single BenQ BL3201PH has one of those Freesync-compatible controller chips.

As kent1147 has said, all this means is that the controller uses Display Port 1.2A which supports Adaptive Sync, a Display Port standard that AMD FreeSync is based off.  The Asus MG279Q as shown at CES 2015 was a similar monitor, although it has now been updated from 120Hz to 144Hz and has been FreeSync certified where as at CES it wasn't.
