A 980 ti is an excellent card for 3440x1440, you will be fine
do all the LG superwides have 6/9 point colour calibration ?
calibrated my 29 last night with my Eye 1 and HFCR and looks fantastic now
What model do you have?
I moved from a 390X ( similar/better to a 480 ) as it was struggling tbh.
Wasn't happy with turning settings down, kinda defeats the object of having a £600+ monitor.
Got a 1070 now and it handles it much better
So i'm now running a Freesync LG with an Nvidia card, but as i can keep the frames up in to 60s' constantly i havent noticed any difference with Freesync disabled.

480 will be fine for that
lol, just tested that on mine ( hadn't touched it before )
Below 5 starts to blur , why would you want to blur your desktop ?
Seems a useless feature
Whats the go-to FreeSync monitor? (34" 3440x1440...)
Im currently rocking a GTX780 so presume I would need to upgrade for 3440 x 1440 anyways.
Thinking I may as well go for Vega and FreeSync as G-sync monitors + Nvidia card will be massively more expensive I imagine.

I'm still using a 980ti and I've had the x34 and the ROG 34" and it runs games fine, some you'll have to tweak the settings slightly like TW3 but your good to go.
'little bit' ?
More like 50% more
34" 3440 x 1440
G-Sync - £949 ( Acer Pred x34a )
Freesync - £649 ( LG 34uc88 )
Be honest, that is not a little bit of a difference

Hardly relevant if you are looking to buy now.
No doubt both the monitors i listed were cheaper pre-brexit but the difference in price would have been similar.
G-sync is not a little bit more expensive, it is a very expensive feature.

I have recently upgraded to an RX480 and now would like to upgrade my monitor, up until 2 days ago I have been using a 10 year old 1680*1080 and swapped to a 1920*1080 22" I had lying around.
I would like to go bigger, however the superwides have caught my eye.
My last monitor was LG and have seen the 29UM68-P on overclockers, reviews seem very good and it seems this is the size to go for as the 25" is just too small.
Have people got any real life experience of this? What are the dimensions and any photos on the desk?
Is this a good choice to go for? Would I be better looking at a standard 27"?
Game I will be playing is BF1 and mainly this!

I don't have that model but another LG 29", see my brief review in sig for pics etc.
Personally I would take 29" 2560x1080 21.9 over 27" 1440 16.9 but it is down to preference in the end.
True but it still shows the point, exact same monitor, same brand, same specs (except for 75 VS 100HZ) except one was freesync and the other was gsync and the difference in price at that time was at least £350. It is better to use same brands than different brands if you want to do price comparisons.
And nope, surprisingly both of those monitors weren't any cheaper before the brexit, in fact the acer x34 was dearer at the time.
I don't disagree, gsync is not worth the premium imo.

Thanks for the info, review seems mainly positive.
Out of interest do you know the dimensions of the screen at all?
How do you find the height of the screen? I find the height of the 22" acceptable, so thinking about the width of the screen being larger it can only be a good thing right?!

Cant really compare between brands, also is the LG 100hz? In the grand scheme of things, a couple hundy aint much over the presumed few years you will have it.
It is a hardware solution vs the software of freesync though is it not? inherently more expensive just there. i admit there will be nvidia tax in there too though
Im sure for the end user, the differences between the technologies is small enough not to notice anything between them, fact is though, if you use nvidia cards, you have no choice. Im very happy with what i paid for my monitor and graphics card and wouldnt change to amd. same as some poeple would never not buy an audi, etc Choices are good!

- Dimensions (with stand) - 702.5 x 181 x 418.2
- Dimensions (without stand) - 702.5 x 63.8 x 328.2
Remember my stand is different to the one you linked.
Height is fine, I would like about another 1/2" though
You can compare the height of your 22" and the 21.9 29" here:

Supposedly the reason for the big price difference is down to the monitors chassis having to be redesigned to fit the gsync module:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3129...ia-g-sync-on-monitor-selection-and-price.html
As for differences, afaik, the only differences are;
- the refresh rate range
- freesync is capable of having a lot more connection ports
- gsync works in borderless etc. mode
Hardware is still required for free/adaptive sync, it just so happens that most monitors have the required tech built in already and some of AMD cards have also got the required hardware built into their GPUs, monitor manufacturers just need to enable it via the firmware and AMD need to enable it via their drivers.
