Im very curious as i want 144hz, and i currently have the LG 29UB65 Ultrawide and would only want to change monitor if it was UW and 144hz realistically, and the upgrade in resolution sounds worth it from what people are saying.
 
Another year maybe who knows i think you need DP 1.3 and as of yet no GFX cards can output what you want. I think we may well need Pascal Artic Islands to get the ball rolling.

I would love a 144hz IPS 3440x1440 G- Sync monitor, Everyone here would all for the lowball price of £1500! ;)
 
Realistically, what's the difference between 100Hz and 144Hz? A big enough difference to warrant waiting however many months and/or years?
 
44fps or frames is quite a bit considering movies are 24fps and people play games at 60fps. It depends on how lcking your current monitor is, And how you react to 100hz. 100hz is probably where true HFR starts imo.

It doesn't work like that, and there's no such thing as "true" high frame rate. It's relative.
 
I've heard a lot of people say that 120Hz is not really different to 144Hz - Yet I'm willing to bet a lot of people can tell the difference between 24 FPS and 48 FPS in a game, as Spoffle said, it's relative.
 
I've experimented quite a lot on my rog swift with different refresh rates.

100Hz is where it really starts to make a very noticeable difference. In my opinion 100Hz is easily 'good enough' for now so if someone can release a reliable quality monitor at 3400x1440, apart from Acer then I think it would / will be superb.

Got my eye on the Asus equivalent but it's going to be silly money, and I don't think I can justify it. More than this I just can't be bothered playing the panel lottery. Getting a potentially brilliant monitor like this should be a fun event but I'd just be worried about, and expecting backlight bleed and various faults.
 
we will need

1) DisplayPort 1.3 to be readily available from graphics cards and monitors to support the bandwidth needed to power 3440 x 1440 @144Hz

2)ideally a panel manufacturer to actually produce a panel which can antively support that refresh rate reliably. if not we are in the realms of "overclocking" a lower refresh panel which means it would have to be one paired with G-sync (and not freesync) at the moment to allow overclocking to that kinid of degree. even then there are issues with compatibility and support from different graphics cards, it would be at the users risk, it might not always be able tor each 144Hz etc. you also have to start worrying about whether response times are suitable to support 144fps, which means they need to be consistently under 6.94ms G2G to be reliable.


It will be a fair while i think
 
Sounds like I will be waiting a while, more so for a FreeSync one, really, im not fussed, if G-sync comes, ill probably make the switch to Nvidia as much as i like AMD, if they aren't willing to produce, or if manufacturers aren't willing, it is silly.
