This has potential.
Its good that the monitor industry is showing everyone a bit of love. With been suck in the 1080p 16:9 era for too long now.
I'm torn between a 1440p 21:9 monitor, a 4k monitor or just waiting it out untill i can buy both the monitor and a GPU that could max out the game settings.

Just like the curves we shall bag the exclusive on these.
LG being talking to me about them since November so fingers crossed they can have stock into us by March!
Nice!
Although as much as I like the 21.9 aspect ratio, I am getting fed up with new games not properly supporting it (not so much an issue with older games.....) and unfortunately it seems like flawless widescreen has been abandoned. If GTA 5 doesn't have proper 21.9 support then that is me done with 21.9 AR
Saying that for my next monitor, I def. want a VA panel, so badly want true deep blacks although I also want to have decent motion clarity....

Me too! I think the 34" 21:9 is a better sized monitor (for my room/desk setup at least) but a 40" 4k monitor is also appealing due to the more standard 16:9 aspect (and being large enough to use at 100% scaling in Windows) but I worry it may be physically too large to practically use as a monitor!
Now we're starting to see 34"/40" 'monitors' how large can you go before it starts causing issues! How big is too big...!

Fraid not, the model with freesync is the 1080p 21:9, not the 1440 based one
I know. Gibbo said the 3440x1440 version is coming. This isn't 1080p BTW.

Not with freesync though, its in the same announcement from LG
I was just using 1080 and 1440 to denote the resolution difference, i know it isnt 1920 but couldnt be bothered to look up the actual width

what games are you getting fed up with? i find most games do!
The most recent ones that I have played:
call of duty advanced warfare (no fix/mod at all, unless someone has done something in the past month, but too late as I completed it ages ago)
far cry 4 (patch 1.5 give the 21.9 support, however, the FOV still doesn't look right + when you put the oxygen mask on, the black bits are still 16.9 and other wee things like that)
dead rising 3 (fixed with flawless widescreen but still issues with blood splatter effects etc. only taking up the 16.9 area)
Most importantly though, is that you can't use the flawless widescreen program when playing online because it might be seen as a cheat thus banned.
As long as GTA 5 has proper 21.9 support I will be happy to keep with the 21.9 aspect ratio as that will be my main game of this year
I expect battlefront and batman AK to have 21.9 support since the recent games i.e. previous batman arkham games + BF 4, hardline etc. have proper 21.9 support
