4k Ultrawide Gsync 120Hz+ or OLED TV alternative

[Dirk Diggler]

Create a custom 21.9 Res for the TV.

What do you mean by that, Nexus? Wouldn't I want the TV to be native 16:9?

Edit: I also just tried the Big Picture Mode thing, but it just launches on the primary monitor regardless of which monitor steam is open on at the time.

@Nexus18 that worked for big picture, thanks.

3 years after creating this thread and I'm still rocking my X34a! Is it fair to say that monitor tech has stagnated these past few years? Is there any news of higher refresh Ultrawide in the near future?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

There are 144Hz panels out there but they're horrendously expensive. £1,150 for example. And that's not to mention the difficulty of running a monitor at that res at 120Hz+ in recent games. You'll need a 2080ti to do it.

That's caught my eye; is there a Gsync version?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Yes, but I've had a 2080Ti with mine and worked perfectly

How do you find it for quality and performance? I'd be quite happy to pair with my 1080ti for now.

Actually, the Gsync model appears to be lower refresh rate?

3 and a half years on, I'm still trying to find a worthy replacement. What a buy this x34a was, TBF.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so have a slightly off topic question. Has anyone purchased a 4k TV that supports Gsync and Freesync? I currently have an LG 43" as a second screen for Netflix, BT Sport etc. But I hate gaming on it due to tearing. I'm thinking in the absence of a UW upgrade for my x34a then an upgrade to the TV would be good.

Looking ideally for 43" but could go to 50" if required.

TIA

Just a heads-up the 43" Acer and Asus monitors have a bit of ghosting, nothing horrific from my experience but it's there. I'd personally be waiting on the new OLED 48" LG's that should be announced next week, paired with the new nvidia card (with HDMI 2.1) they should be a nice pairing (if you can live with the size).

Cheers, I'll keep an eye out.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

At least til the new cards are out you'll be able to run it at 1440p/high hz too (the scaling is generally awesome apparently on them). With Gsync it should be nice and smooth

Yea, I've had a Google around and whilst there's not a lot of information I definitely think the 48" OLED is a serious contender for me. I'm looking forward to more details.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

I use mine with a 1080ti and it's the best gaming experience I've had, and I've tried 4k & high refresh 2560*1440. The only thing stopping me from buying one right now would be the fear that something new will replace it soon afterwards.

Then again, as you can tell by this thread I've been waiting for an upgrade for years and it still isn't available. Also, £400 is a lot less than you'll pay for the next monitor that I could confidently call an upgrade (I paid £900 for my X34a).

 

[Dirk Diggler]

I could no doubt enjoy 4k@120fps but a 1080ti is never going to push it. I do value high refresh above IQ and obviously the monitors you are referring to would offer both. It's definitely something I would consider if the new batch of GPUs coming this year can push 4k at least 75-80fps.

Could I give up Ultra wide? Probably.

I'm still hoping to see these 48" OLED offerings from LG.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

@Nexus18 interesting, thanks.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

LG 48" looks like launching at £1500.

LG's first 48-inch OLED (CX series) will carry a suggested retail price of 1800 Euro, which is 500 Euro less than the 55-inch CX OLED. LG has confirmed to FlatpanelsHD that the 48-inch version has the same panel (with higher pixel density) and all of the same features as the larger models.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

48" OLED now available, any owners out there yet? I see Richer Sounds aren't stocking them which is disappointing as I'd like the 6 year warranty.
