What you're describing has been reported on various G-Sync displays. I've had it on two IPS displays and two TN displays, in all cases resolved by using the 165Hz overclock feature. IIRC, in 144Hz mode, I was able to rid the line by changing the refresh rate then changing back to 144Hz. I think...

I wonder if the Freesync model will have a working variable overdrive.

It wasn't about getting use to the aspect ratio. Also, going from 165Hz to 120Hz is something I definitely would not get used to. Do you have a source for the majority of pro Siege players using ultrawide? I'm not doubting there are certain FPS games that ultrawide would benefit, but I do doubt...

I'll have to disagree with much of the above. From initial release until today, G-Sync, thanks to the G-Sync module, has provided superior functionality and performance compared to Freesync. At release, Freesync monitors couldn't even enable overdrive and Freesync simultaneously, making the...

Here in Canada the Dell is on sale for half the price of the LG. I'll only have the monitor for 3-6 months, so it's an easy decision. I'd lose a lot more on the resale of the LG.

The Alienware is boxed up and ready for pickup. I thought I might be OK with the 120Hz and trading some competitive edge for immersion in singleplayer games, but being primarily a competitive FPS player I really missed the 165Hz fluidity. I was pushed into trying the Alienware because of Dell's...

I had the LG and currently have the Alienware ultrawide (which is faster than the X34). They're very comparable in most transitions; the LG is actually slightly faster in many transitions. Only in some darker transitions is the LG notably slower, but the dark smearing is very minor when it...

No, I have the AW3418DW; the 120Hz 1440p version.

I've had the Alienware for a few days now. For competitive FPS, I agree the added FoV is a distraction. There's just too much eye scanning happening. However, you can run your games in 2560x1440 and your ultrawide becomes a 27" 1440p display (or 28" on 35" ultrawide). That's how I've been...

Depends on your gaming priorities. The TN displays are still noticeably faster compared to even the fastest IPS displays. In my opinion, you're giving up a competitive edge @ 120Hz IPS vs 144Hz TN.

At least with G-Sync enabled, I definitely notice a difference in perceived blur @ 120Hz vs 144Hz due to the slight judder increase @ 120Hz. It's not a huge difference, but definitely noticeable. Chroma manipulation would be a good idea for increased refresh rate options in ultrawide. For my...

Excited for this monitor. Will 144Hz be an "overclock" feature, or will the native 144Hz simply be locked out because of G-Sync restrictions? I wonder if there would be a way to achieve 144Hz-165Hz in 16:9 2560x1440p. Probably too late to implement such a feature, but that would certainly be a...
