LG 5120x2160 Ultrawides

[Azrael1]

It did drop to £1360 for a day or 2

Damn, got to keep my eyes peeled.

I see @Gibbo mentioning GPU deals, any chance ocuk will have a deal on this monitor?

 

[Azrael1]

Yeah I could have got it new with warranty for £1300 range but so much other stuff to buy atm with black friday. I was tempted but resisted.

The adjustable version by LG should be out sometime next year.
Ideally, it would be nice if they were able to bump up the refresh rate to something north of 165Hz.

I'm not hitting 165 with my 5090 on that res*, unless I play some zoomer game like Fortnite

Yeah, as soon as I posted I thought: 'hang on a minute'.

There was an article about that and what would be needed for it. Wasnt it to do with Dp 2.1 would be needed by everyone due to the pixels and herz and faster video cards. Then you are limiting your customer base

i think you're referring to this which explains it:

Why Haven’t We Got the 45″ Ultrawide 5K2K OLED Panels with 240Hz Refresh Rate Yet?​

 

[Azrael1]

Yes that's the one. Is that the article you wrote?

Hello darkness my old friend

Yep

 

[Noxia]

So much for the BF predictions, it just whimpered OOS at the same price it's been for ages lol.

 

[Azrael1]

Oh well.its been £1500ish for a while with discount. Problem with bf there's so much more stuff to get cheap. I'm happy I got my ram and SSD before the price rises. This can wait a bit longer

 

[Noxia]

Yeah I might not ever get it because someone might release a similar size, glossy non curved one before this ever gets near the price I'd be comfortable paying. Though that price would be higher if this was glossy in the first place. It's simply not worth double a 42" LG C (or triple at rrp)

 

[Azrael1]

You seen the 48 GL5 dropped to £1000 with a free soundbar and that comes with a tandem display.

 

[Webster]

Finally caved and bought this - couldn't get on with the curve/size and returned..

 

[Azrael1]

Its a lot of money currently - especially as its like £1k in USA quite often due to their rebates. I did want one but will wait to see what next year has for me. How long did you test it for ?

 

[Webster]

Few hours, tested work use and a bunch of games.

Arc raiders was good on it, but the others and even desktop use the windows icons looked a little blurry? Maybe some odd scaling going on.

Think I'll wait for a 39 but with a less aggressive curve.

 

[Azrael1]

Can I ask if it was LG direct or rainforest ?

Rainforest, ordered on business account to test. Was discounted a bit not massively. £1600
