Hopefully this is the sign that affordable 4k high-hz gaming isn’t too far away!

 

[BigBANGtheory]

if you can get an OCUK variant to 32" using 8Pack and a rolling pin I'd be interested

 

[Yaayuh!]

27".... *sigh*
PLEASE give us 32"-38", 4K, 120Hz+, 16:9, non-curved.

Still its a good step in the right direction, wonder if it supports hdmi 2.1 ports

It would have to to support 4k@144hz, no?

It uses DSC to achieve 4K 144hz with no chroma subsampling.

 

[SDK^]

Still no HDMI 2.1 !!!
At that price it should be on there.

Can’t we just get a monitor with hdmi 2.1,
can’t believe I am contemplating the 48 inch LG oled for my desktop.

Been reading this https://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-2-1-what-you-need-to-know/

Seems that HDMI 2.1 won’t be needed for many years.

They need to get 4K 144Hz @ 32" released ASAP! 27" is just too damn small for 4K. Have tried to get on with it, but after the experience of 32", I just can't do it. Looks like there are a couple of models due early next year, but it's taken far too long. At least the Viewsonic XG320U will have HDMI 2.1 for those that want it, and not be a million miles off the price of this LG, so personally, I'd wait. The extra size alone is worth it.

I wonder how 27” iMac users cope with their Retina 5K display 5120x2880 resolution screens.

Completely different use cases.

 

[nlel1975]

Completely different use cases.

I mean for general desktop uses not gaming. If the text on a 27” screen at 3840*2160 is too small how do 27” iMac users cope. Scaling??

Yes, OSX scales very well by default.

 

[JediFragger]

It overclocks to 160hz too, does it drop the colour bitrate? Anyone know?

As above, OSX scales far better than Windows. Some apps look downright awful at anything other than 100%, and 27" is just too small for that @ 4K. Could be argued that 32" is also in some cases, but it's far more usable.

 

[nlel1975]

Just drop the desktop resolution down and use 4K in gaming, which is what the monitor is geared for anyway.

 

[nlel1975]

This is quite informative...

https://pcmonitors.info/articles/the-4k-uhd-3840-x-2160-experience/

They liked running 125% desktop scaling when running at UHD resolution on a 28” monitor. They also mention that many apps have been updated to take scaling into account.
