Yes, based on the evidence that I feel actually means something, I was leaning towards this being a G-SYNC-Compatible monitor. I don't think any of my actual arguments have been proven wrong. If any arguments have been proven wrong I THINK those were yours. There were always some good reasons...

This is a very good and important point. DisplayHDR 600 is in MANY ways far superior to DisplayHDR 400, but miss only one target, e.g. miss peak luminance by 20 nits, and the monitor will be classified as a DisplayHDR monitor 400 regardless. Seeing two DisplayHDR 400 monitors which such...

I think many people in online forums made that claim, but it's incorrect. Any monitor can use the v2 G-SYNC module. The monitor need not support any form of HDR at all! Only the reverse isn't true, that is, to support any form of HDR using real G-YNC hardware, you do need the v2 G-SYNC module...

Thank you! Two variants being released is definitely not what I expected but very good to know. On the other hand, September is unexpectedly GREAT! Looks like this will be my next screen. Looking forward to info on fan and HDR as soon as specs become available.

Thank you. That's exactly the sort of thing I was trying to understand. While it's certainly uncommon, FreeSync monitors with a non-24 divisible refresh rate do exist. The 75 Hz AOC G2590VXQ or the 155 Hz Dell S2719DGF are two examples. What I do think is accurate to say (but not 100% sure) is...

You (and apparently also Vega) think it's either unlikely that a FreeSync monitor can achieve a 175 Hz overclock, or that it's only guaranteed with a G-SYNC module. I just can't figure out why you think that, nor can I figure out why you think the native panel spec has anything to do with this...

Well, you can switch to a non G-SYNC controller. Anytime really. Even 1 day before release. You just have to be willing to scrap your release schedule and development budget. It's not a technical issue. It's a question of economics which asks: "are the costs of switching justified by an improved...

@Daniel - LG Thank YOU! While I consider the G-SYNC vs G-SYNC-Compatible question the most important please don't forget the others. @Legend What exactly are you wondering about? An argument for classical G-SYNC over FreeSync 1? (I'm not sure FreeSync 1 is still relevant for anything anybody...

Sorry everyone, including you @Daniel - LG , if repeating this isn't helpful. I'm not sure what to make of the silence. @Daniel - LG This is the summary of questions you wanted (all of which still need answers): Can you confirm the July/August release date for the UK (from what I've seen you...

^ Exactly what I suspect as well. The important point being: If one company finds a way to sell more of what we'd consider "defective" devices, without alienating too many consumers or destroying their brand, then all other manufacturers would be forced to follow for economic reasons. That's...

I don't think that's true, at least not for the sorts of issues we're discussing here. If panels are tested at all, then that's not done by humans. The machinery that fully automates that sort of testing isn't very expensive (for a factory) and has been around for a very long time already. The...

I have no idea if that's true, but if it is, that means these companies can reliably weed out sub-par monitors if they want to. For their consumer products, they just choose not to and ship regardless. In contrast to the narrative put forward in all of these forums, that would mean none of this...

What about the professional range of monitors built by EIZO or NEC? Also lottery? If not, that would suggest it's only a lottery because monitor OEMs have decided that's how it will be.

Yeah, that makes sense. What I was trying to say is that my subjective impression is that LG does a better job with QA than Acer or Asus. SQHQ appears to think otherwise. I'm certainly not an expert on this and was wondering if there was a consensus in this forum on that issue.

If you're talking specifically about PC monitor panels, there aren't that many OEMs around. AUO, LG and Samsung are pretty much it. My entirely subjective impression, based on what I've read online, was that AUO was the worst in that regard, and that LG and Samsung are similar. However, I think...

Sorry for repeatedly posting this here. Just trying to make sure Daniel doesn't forget: @Daniel - LG This is the summary of the questions you wanted (all of which still need answers) : Can you confirm the July/August release date for the UK (from what I've seen you post elsewhere it seems...

No, you really don't grasp it, or at least you're not providing any arguments that suggest you do. You might understand the words, but certainly none of the technical underpinnings. Any DisplayHDR 400 monitor MIGHT slightly adjust the image it displays when HDR is activated, for reasons I won't...

Not sure what you're finding so hard to grasp. New DisplayHDR 400 monitors are no better than newer and good SDR monitors. Many higher end 10 bit SDR monitors are better. The difference between a DisplayHDR 400 monitor in SDR and HDR mode, assuming the monitor is using the same color space for...

You're confused because you're making an apples to oranges comparison. The WHOLE POINT of HDR (high dynamic range) is for blacks to be darker while high intensity whites (and only them) become brighter. Supporting a wider range of colors (100% DCI-P3) is theoretically unrelated to HDR, but as...

Projectors and HDR make me want to pull my hair out. Can you tell us which make/model of a sub 450 nit projector gains a "massiv" benefit from HDR? I've yet to see any projector do HDR without completely washing out black levels. Here are some things you may want to consider: TFTCentral (why...
