So, forgive me my ignorance. I know fuck all about this. Is the LG mentioned in the OP still the king? Or are there better ones released at this point?
Right now it's probably between the Acer Predator X34/X34a and the Asus PG348Q.So, forgive me my ignorance. I know fuck all about this. Is the LG mentioned in the OP still the king? Or are there better ones released at this point?
I was dead set on getting the X34P when it comes out, but I'm not so sure after reading about this:

If they make a GSync version of it, it might end up being better than the Acer.
Is VA really that much better than IPS when it comes to blacks, BLB and glow?
Right after Samsung announces some killer monitors LG strikes back with a new line of Ultra wide monitors!
With the stunner, if I read this right, being a 21:9, 3440x1600, 144hz free sync equipped monster!

Sweet lord is G-Sync losing ground to Free-sync? I have an Nvidia card.
Adaptive sync (AMD calls it free-sync) is an open standard, and included in the new VESA standard.Sweet lord is G-Sync losing ground to Free-sync? I have an Nvidia card.

I was wondering about that the other day, don't have the link handy but someone on Reddit found LG's German listing for it. It seems to be a 1440 screen...but only does 144hz in 1080. My guess is that 3440x1440 at 144hz is beyond the display connection/bandwidth limits, I think DP 1.3/1.4 can handle it but I'm not sure there's anything out there that supports it for that. Like I think Polaris and Pascal have 1.3 or 1.4 listed but I don't know if that's just for expanded color and HDR or supports the full bandwidth and higher refresh and stuff.The smaller one is 144hz, there's some misinformation about whether that one is 1440p or 1080.
Hi guys, I have a 4K 65' Samsung KU6300 TV.
What custom resolution should I use to play in 21/9?
(I tried two random resolutions and couldn't find a good match in FIFA 17 in 21/9 mode).
Thanks for your help!
Is the monitor in the OP still the "king" right now? I am looking to get one.
edit: Looks like it's not. Curious if there is a monitor that is good for gaming that isn't crazy expensive.
predator x34 is the king
Question for an expert:You could still do this, I think, by creating a cusotm resolution in your Nvidia panel/AMD panel in which case it should be something like 3840x1646 ish?
Question for an expert:
I manage to display a proper 21:9 custom resolution on my TV, as long as I don't go fullscreen.
=> I set a 2560*1080 resolution on my nvidia control panel.
=> Then in Fifa I select 2560*1080.
It should work, and it does if I stay in a window mode. But if I go fullscreen it screws the ratio.
DOes anyone know why, and what I should you?
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Trails in the Sky games (really old small studio Japanese PC games from 2004) supported ultra wide natively. You get some funny things happening like seeing characters off screen before they walk into a scene and one time I saw a "huge fort" that when the camera panned around during the cutscene you could see there was nothing behind the front wall.
Still a really good implementation for such an old game that I was not expecting to have the option.

No new posts in almost a month, no news of VA 1440p 144hz gysnc DP 1.3 "dream" monitors coming out anytime soon.
Ultrawide confirmed to be a fad. I'm sorry, everyone.
High refresh rate Ultra-wides - Away from those high end requirements LG.Display are also investing further in curved ultra-wide IPS panels. Of note is the planned 37.5" sized panel following on from those already available today, such as that used in the impressive LG 38UC99 display. These 37.5" panels offer a 3840 x 1600 resolution and 24:10 aspect ratio. While current panels are limited to 75Hz maximum refresh rate, a 144Hz compatible version is planned for Q4 2017 (so a long way away yet). This is expected to offer a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 8-bit+FRC colour depth, sRGB gamut and 2300R curvature. 3840 x 1600 @ 144Hz will require bandwidth support beyond current DisplayPort 1.2 interfaces which will be a large reason for the delay in production for another year. At least it is planned!
Unfortunately it also appears from the latest roadmap that the planned 34" IPS panel at 3440 x 1440 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate may be delayed a little. We originally had this down for production in Q1 2017 but it looks like it might have been pushed back to Q3 2017 now. Again this delay is likely due to complications with utilising more modern DisplayPort interfaces than 1.2. As a reminder, this panel will offer 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 8-bit+FRC colour depth, sRGB gamut and 1900R curvature. It has a 3-side borderless design as well. Lower refresh rate versions are of course already available and widely used in the 34" market. The delay is with the hotly anticipated 144Hz refresh rate version.
The 34" 2560 x 1080 resolution IPS panel at 144Hz refresh rate is already in production now thankfully, supporting FreeSync, and we believe already used in the LG 34UC79G (review coming soon when we receive a unit). LG.Display are also planning to combine this panel with G-sync for 144Hz support which will apparently go in to development in January 2017. These 34" IPS panels offer a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 8-bit colour depth, sRGB gamut and 3800R curvature. They also have a 3-side borderless design as well.
So I downgraded/upgraded? from a 4k Gsync Acer to a LG 34UM68, I was starting to have to set settings lower and lower on newer games, and I wanted to play in 21:9.
It is a 2560x1080 so I do miss the pixels while using windows, and gsync, but I have no trouble maxing out games again; and the ultra widescreen is awesome.
Ideally I would love the x34, but I'm not paying over a grand for a monitor right now. I rather get a new 4k TV instead.
IPS is also much better looking than the TN panel I had in the Acer.
I was actually thinking of getting a 2560x1080 Panel as well, but the Z35 G-Sync monitor instead. Games would probably look nice.

can you show a screenshot with firefox or photoshop open? Im debating on whether to get the 1080 or 1440 version cause i'm poor

I wanted a 1440 ultrawide as well, but the prices were way too high, and after a few days with this 2560x1080 I feel comfortable in sidelining 4k for a while.
The samsungs just got their release date!

New toy arrived today!
It's beautiful - very very happy with it.
Given it a quick spin with Gsync on and 100Mhz refresh at Overwatch, Skyrim SE (manually changed the pref. file) and Witcher 3.
All look great; but is there anything I need to do or know with this - haven't changed any settings literally just plugged it in...how do I know if GSync is on etc and recommendations on settings?
Is there a software or something that upscales games to 21:9? Need advice!
I don't have a monitor calibration tool (next on the list).
Happy to be part of this ultrawide master race now
Where's the gsync version though.
It's the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q 34'': https://www.asus.com/au/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG348Q/
Stupid expensive but screw it - i'm in my gaming prime and work from home alot more these days so why not have best of both worlds.
My nearly 2yr old GTX980 runs things smoothly but I'll upgrade to a 1080ti next year to enjoy silky smooth everything on this screen.

Subscribed to this as I just joined the 21:9 club as well.
Picked up the ASUS PG348Q yesterday. After using a 1080p TN monitor for so long....my god this is already my favorite upgrade of all time. Colors are mind blowing and battlefield 1 in widescreen is on a whole new level of immersion. Super happy with my purchase already.
Can't wait for this bad boy to come in https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IWOBGI/?tag=neogaf0e-20. The default stand takes up way too much room and this will fix that perfectly. Found out about it in another forum. I Want it set up exactly like this guy has it: http://i.imgur.com/ogwm5bo.jpg
