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.

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.

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

Yeah pritty much. That and lower latency.

Gibbo said:
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.

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

Any more news?

I'm so tempted to import three Nixeus Vue 27D's with zero dead pixel inspections...
