I'll have some more info on that curved one up this afternoon.

Sounds interesting

Personally I don't really like all this curved display stuff, imo it is rather pointless unless you are ALWAYS sitting at the right distance and directly in the middle.

Like when you're playing games ;-)

Andi.

For myself, the only time that would apply is when I use K+M, which isn't very often

You play BF4 with a controller!!??! :eek:

Nexus18 · 18 Aug 2014 at 11:05

haha if I did then I must be using an aimbot!

That (and any other FPS multiplayer) is the only game where I use K+M.

I actually do play BF4 with a controller.

Though I haven't played it for ages.

Nexus has a reputation for being good enough for most people to mistake him for a hacker. I'd be very surprised if he could play like that with a controller.

It is playable with a controller but it's going to be difficult against good twitch pros.

Anyway mustn't de-rail thread!, back to the curved screen of wonder!

VincentHanna · 18 Aug 2014 at 14:36

Indeed

4k 34" IPS screens, that's good news as far as I'm concerned.

Curved might be a bit weird for desktop use, but so long as the input lag isn't really bad it's a step in the right direction.

Hi there

Here is a better image

Oh christ.

I've got to keep holding out on buying any new screens at the moment, there's just too much interesting stuff on the horizon.

I thought *the one* I was waiting for was going to be a 3440 x 1440 IPS, with gsync, but now the mother****er will have to be curved as well!

N19h7m4r3 · 18 Aug 2014 at 18:43

As lovely as that looks, my next upgrade is 21:9 UHD (5120 x 2160).

jimbaw · 18 Aug 2014 at 20:04

jesus it's beautiful!

Coolasmoo · 18 Aug 2014 at 20:20

This has to be my next monitor.

It looks like it could be worth leaving 120hz for!

branskyj · 18 Aug 2014 at 20:49

Damn, that thing is gorgeous and packs just the right resolution for me (I think). I am so waiting for that one.

Does anyone know if 12pt text on a 34" 3440 x 1440 will look the same as text on a 27" 2560x1440?

I realize the resolution on this LG is higher but I am currently rocking a 27" 2560x1440 and am perfectly happy with the text size.

theMilitant · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:06

This monitor with gsync is what I am now waiting for. Sometime in 2015 hopefully...

The pixel pitch is very similar to a 27" 2560 x 1440 model, so yes.
