hmmm im incredibly intrigued, i was going to purchased a 34UC87 and have a 27" gaming 144Hz freesync monitor to the left when they become available but this is sounds interesting.

Early next year if no delays

Nice to hear they are coming out soon, hopefully better generation 4K panels arrive and more gsync panels arrive as well as those 144hertz IPS panels

jigger · 20 Nov 2014 at 14:59

So far all we have confirmed is?

LG 29" 2560x1080
LG 34" 3440X1440
Nixeus Vue 27 2560x1440

I can't find the Nixeus in the UK. Is this a generic Korean 27" like the DGM 2560X1440?
How do you update the firmware on a monitor?

Cheers.

Would rather it in laymen's terms but thanks for your help, would read again.

It's a variable refresh rate technology that allows you to disable Vsync without having to suffer screen tearing. The monitor tells the graphics card what ranges it supports and the graphics card controls the refresh rate within that range.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 20 Nov 2014 at 22:42

Thanks, so monitors with a refresh rate of 60 won't need a solid 60fps to remain smooth?

How dare you call the DGM a "Generic Korean"! She means so much more to me than that when she isn't blowing power supplies!

Dumb question time: You don't need an AMD GPU to use freesync do you?

As far as it stands, yes.
And it's only like the 290/290X and one of the R7's that support it thus far?

makes me question how free it is if you have to upgrade gc aswell.

LG models will end in 97, they won't be updating current models but releasing new models with 97 prefix sometime in Q1 next year, no doubt around March time.

So all lg montiors will not have a firmware update for freesync?

Thank you for the conformation. Any chance you could enquire about a FreeSync version of this?
