So I've the LG 32GK850F monitor in my sights as a Christmas present to myself. For the price I've seen and reviews it seems a really good monitor. The HDR doesn't bother me and I know it's a VA panel but that's fine. Is there anything better or something coming soon better? I can pick this up for £449. I was thinking about going ultrawide but it's overly confusing researching them plus they won't cheap. So opinions welcome on this. :)

If I did go ultrawide I think I'd go for LG
34GL750-B 34" 2560X1080 IPS 144HZ 1MS HDR10 FREESYNC/G-SYNC COMPATIBLE CURVED WIDESCREEN LED GAMING Monitor

But it's not 1440p which I prefer.

Well now im lost on what 1440p monitor to get. It must have freesynch 2 and 144hz. But now im confused. There must be something out there for £500?

I have the G and it has been fine even at 165hz i haven’t seen any smearing or ghosting in the games I play.

I’ve even tested and seen a very small amount in very dark games but nothing that has personally bothered me or been particularly noticeable unless looking for it directly.

I paid £400 for mine and it has been a great display so far.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the strange bezel issue as mentioned by tokuten. But I sit with mine far enough away for it to be a non issue currently.

Currently the LG 32GK850G is £669 where im looking. Am I looking at the wrong monitor? And would the G support Freesynch like the F supports Gsynch.
 
Well I currently have a decent little monitor a..
EG 27" QHD 144hz 1ms Gaming Monitor spec is...
  • 2560 x 1440 QHD
  • HDMI, Displayport & DVI
  • 144hz / 1ms Response Time
  • Panel Type: TN
  • AMD FreeSync
But I have a high end AMD card a PowerColor Red Devil 5700XT and whilst the above monitor is good im looking for better. The LG GK650F is tempting me cos reviews are good and its much cheaper than the GK850F. Looks the same to me only the 850F does Freesynch 2. And im not even sure it matters all that much. So its a toss up.
 
Well you see it might be a little while until I can review because every year I buy myself a nice little Christmas present. Although it is my birthday also next month :D if you take a look at the YouTube reviews for the LG650F you'll see they are very positive and plus you will save a lot of cash over the more expensive GK850F which is HDR 400 rated and pretty pointless. I think it's a no brainer. :)

It's coming Monday btw.
 
Lol welcome to the club. Mine arrives tomorrow. Did you go for the 650F as I did. Just didn't need the features of the 850F and much cheaper too. Either way it's going to look great. :)
