Ive seen this happen so many times both on retail shops descriptions and the actually manual/spec page where they list the device as 60hz but its actually able to go higher. Seen it a lot with LGs ultrawide panels. Its very weird they cant seem to get this right.

Yeah, a bit like the LG where it only goes to 100Hz with a Freesync capable card
"vertical refresh range is 40-100Hz"
What happens when your fps go below 40 as doesn't free sync meant to match the FPS to the screen refresh rate

Wondering, say If i want g-sync 1920 1080 over 60Hz some nice screens to choose from and affordable. If i want 21:9 2560 x 1080 60hz+ with g-sync ( slight bump in resolution ). I can only see 1 option at near £1k? Why is there huge gap there? I mean 2560 x 1080 is gtx 1060. suitable(most popular card).
It makes no sense and has baffled me as well. A good IPS or even a proper VA, as they seem to get better now, at 2560x1080 and between 75-100hz atleast in the 29-31inch size would be a very interesting product. With gsync i might add. We got plenty of those offerings of the freesync side around 75hz. Seems like a missed opportunity.
yeah that is correct but darn man look at that premium and I have a feeling that the VA panel could be better I mean its acer.. they havent had a great track record when using VA panels for gaming . I hope I am wrong of course with the one you linked..
For that price I could get a 3440x1440 curved 75hz freesync capable monitor from LG with a very good IPS panel....that is saying something imho.
I kept waiting and waiting for that but the release date kept getting pushed back. After owning the X34A for a month or so now, I'm glad I coughed up the extra for it. 30" 21:9 would be too small for me; even 35" is pushing it in the vertical dimension. I was used to a 32" 16:9 TV so I do sort of miss the extra vertical space. I think a 40" 21:9 would be perfect
To each their own i suppose. I prefer 29" UW for games like BF1, CS:GO and similar fast games where as i prefer 34" UW for a more immersive singleplayer experience. Sadly there are no screens that will adapt size on a button pressI kept waiting and waiting for that but the release date kept getting pushed back.

Any cheap ultrawides in the
-gsync category
-freesync category
-no sync category
Need to ideally get a new monitor and card for video editing (and gaming since I'll have to move the rig to a desk).
Dependant on what AMD offer in the next month or so will determine which monitor I go.
Otherwise any just solid good cheap monitors at 1440p. ?

All these high refresh rate VA panels are much the same tbh i.e. overall it is very good, more so if you avoid the 200HZ and stick to 144/120HZ. It will still have problems with the dark to bright area transitions and vice versa.
Regarding price, yup I don't disagree.
Heck I wouldn't even pay more than £500 for a 34" 1440 IPS/VA now, anything more and it is completely and utterly stupid, you're just getting ripped of big time for what is at the end of the day, very basic old LCD based panels that have awful QC/problems.
I imagine gsync is adding a substantial sum to that though.....
I also wouldn't be wanting to go any bigger than 34" 21.9, 29" 21.9 is the perfect size for wideness imo (and combined with a 2560x1080 res. it is pretty sharp still and very easy to run), I think 30-32" 21.9 would be the sweet spot for myself.
I really don't get why there aren't more 29-32" 2560x1080 screens as looking at steam, the res. is more favourable than 3440x1440 atm....
Of course, steam survey isn't the be all but it does give a good indication for a large majority of the PC gamer base as well as showing growing and declining trends.
I think if we had the bare bones in a 30-32" 2560x1080 21.9 package i.e. no speakers, no HDR, freesync, 75-100HZ, OLED could be added and not budge the price up too much i.e. possibly the screen could be had for <£900? (of course factoring in there being a decent amount of other OLED monitors), for myself, that would easily be the best monitor on the market and actually worth the £500+ price tag imo....

Has anyone seen the AGON AG352UCG yet? 35"/21:9/100Hz native with Gsync and approx 800 quid. Old school bezels and VA panel, but decent price.

I just bought the Asus PG348 34" G-Sync for my new build, it's a bit of a step up from my old monitor.
Create a custom resolution at 3440x1440 and have it scale to aspect ratio. Then you get to try the UW experience before buying something solid.
You could set up a custom res for 21.9 on your 4k, you will have black bars top and bottom but it will give you a idea how a 38" ultrawide will look
Assuming we're talking 3440x1440 at 34"/38", you can do as suggested above to create the illusion of the size, but you will notice a bigger difference with the speed of a 100Hz or even 75Hz panel. It depends what model you get of course, but with G-Sync or Freesync, you should notice a smoother gaming experience, plus at 3440x1440 down from 4K res, you will be getting higher FPS rates. It's win win all around really, so unless you're in love with 4K and/or don't want to give up the vertical height, I imagine you'd be very happy. You won't get 38" for £600 though. You won't even get a 34" G-Sync unless you find a B-Grade or second hand model, so you'd be limited to Freesync which would be useless if you have an Nvidia GPU.
