So I purchased the LG 34GK950F, Gigabyte have really dropped the ball on this one! The lack of anything concise has really put me off.
First impression of the LG is excellent, the Jayztwocents video where he hugged it sold it for me and at its current price was just about affordable. If you can stretch to it guys, go for it!
Agreed, a good monitor like that can last you 5yrs+
I hope so but I'll likely want something new in 2 years lol, I'm afflicted.
Same. At this point a 43in 4k/120hz screen would be perfect for my uses, and I'd game using a 3840x1600 Ultrawide aspect (with borders). Best of all worlds
I am also after a new 27' 144hz+ 1440p monitor and there seem to be quite a few using the same panel, the Pixio and Acer's seem to be the cheapest (the Acer is £399 at Overclockers). Are there any benefits to the LG or Gigabyte ones? I know that Gigabyte does 3 year warranty, but I am not paying £140 extra for an extra year warranty only. The Viewsonic is not out in the UK as far as I can see.
Only difference in spec between the FI27Q and FI27Q-P is the DP version (1.2/1.4) which means a higher bitrate.
This allows HBR3 in the -P panel.
I might grab a few units but I don't think any official, Gigabyte supported UK suppliers will list them in the short term.
I'll keep asking the question about grabbing a few panels from Gigabyte for those that want the HBR3

Is there any updates on the FI27Q-P I am interest in it, just before I go buy another monitor
There are no current plans to bring any official stock to the UK is all I know.
Nice work. Should be interesting to see the side by side resultsGot it today: https://imgur.com/KVXulWP
Just set it up and tried in few games. For now, I deffinitly got more lucky than with normal FI27Q when it comes to IPS glow. It is visible, but doesn't cover such a big area as it was the case on FI27Q.
In two days I should get LG 27GL850 so I will be able to compare them side to side and settle once and for all on one of them.
Is it even worth paying so much for the P model? 700€ is a lot of money for something that should be the same cost as the non-P variant.
HDR is useless on those monitors anyway and 10 bit color at 144Hz (and 165) works just fine on the normal FI27Q.
