yeah no thanks, dont want 1080p, nor 60hz. nor a massive heater in front of my face on my desk looking ridiculous. nor screen burn from static images that PCs always have. And need gsync these days, deal broken. but glad it works for you! I like to keep my tv separate. oh and custom res with black bars, deeply no thanks, just doesnt work as well as a true 21:9, like watching 16:9 on a 4:3, just isn't the same as on a proper ratio panel, black levels aside
Have you used/seen an OLED display (setup properly that is)? I'm going to guess no, as 1080P on OLED still looks far better than any 4k/high PPI LCD display despite it being a "peasant" 1080P res.... Everyone that has seen my setup has also agreed that they have been thoroughly underwhelmed by 4k for "gaming" (and films/tv shows), they were more wowed by 120HZ mode when gaming.
People that use displays of that size a few feet from their face are quite frankly stupid, set it up properly with a monitor/desk to the other side and you have a great setup, sit a couple of feet from the monitor and 7-8 feet from the TV, any desktop usage i.e. browsing or whatever, do that on your monitor and any gaming etc. just fire up big steam picture mode or whatever and game away on a lovely big display, this keeps the static images of the main TV (which will avoid the "potential" burn in problems) and everything flows and work well between the 2 displays, essentially, it is just like using a dual monitor setup.
You can still use the TV as you would normally too, it is just a case of simply switching to different inputs i.e. 1-2 button clicks away
Do you have any problems with watching 21.9 content on 16.9 displays? If not, then I don't see why you wouldn't have issues with 21.9 gaming on a large 16.9 display.....
But yes, it doesn't quite feel/look the same as my 21.9 monitor but still, I personally MUCH prefer the oled, the IQ just can't be matched.
It just amazes me, people that spend thousands on their gaming PC to get better graphics (and more so those who buy 4k "monitors" for the better IQ) but then go and play on what is to be quite frank, **** display tech., which is the main thing that "displays" the "visuals"......
Each to their own and all that though
No G-Sync or Freesync 2 ones out yet, also they are massive. I want something that is 32" max, ideally 27" which is the sweet spot for me where you get much higher PPI
Truth is I am very happy with this monitor. Not in a rush, I am happy to wait 2-3 years.
Just waiting for Nvidia to hurry up and release their new GPU's so I can the 2080/1180 which should run 4K 60FPS on pretty much everything with a bit of tweaking the settings in game.
I am actually finding 55" too small now!
Kind of regretting that I didn't go for the 65" version now.
Yup, no sync is annoying, I'm hoping LG might be able to enable it via a firmware update as Samsung are releasing TVs with freesync despite the HDMI port not being 2.1.....
120HZ mode has helped with making screen tearing much less noticeable and then throw in some faffing about with FPS limiters and vsync (either in game or using AMD's enhanced sync) to eliminate all screen tearing completely but I haven't found a need to bother with this so far as the screen tearing hasn't bothered me that much in 120hz mode.
Problem is, we might have OLED, HDR or whatever monitors in 2-3 years time but.... at what price and also, by then TVs will have progressed even further beyond monitors tech. as well as being even cheaper..... I think once HDMI 2.1 TVs land, that will be the final nail in the coffin for the monitor industry, the only reason left to buy a monitor over a TV will be purely for size (even that will may not be a factor if/when LG etc. start mass producing end consumer rollable/foldable displays/TVs....) and if you want gsync (assuming nvidia aren't supporting adaptive sync by that time....)
EDIT:
That is another plus for a big display (obviously sitting back further too) is when it comes to HDR..... HDR is fantastic but as someone mentioned in another thread, I'm not actually sure it is something I would want for a monitor where you're sitting a few feet away, HDR scenes get crazy bright and it makes for an awesome experience on the big display but when sitting within a few feet, I can see it causing very bad eye strain/fatigue.
