I wish i had that kind of money

Test the monitor please with nvidia pendelum demo for scanlines, with G-Sync on.

All previous G-Sync UWQHD AH-IPS panel monitors have this problem.

And test please with ufo test (15 minutes) possible image retention.

Anyone know what “gamma mode” in the options changes? Looks like gamma mode 2 is default?

So... Is the FreeSync version considered 'slow' regarding input lag?

SKeijmel · 2 Dec 2018 at 08:31

depends all o what you want and what you are used too, and how sensitive you are for it. but for me yes. its definitely worth to get the gsync model. its the only one i would want. so yes its "slow"
other monitors are sometimes much worse here you get the idea

for me that 10ms is a lot.

Got any pictures of the BLB in a dark room? I know that makes it look worse, but probably the best way to see how much these monitors have (on average).

Also any updates on the pictures of the colours? Ideally next to a SRGB monitor would be perfect.

I just got my monitor redelivered and setup last night. Working all day today and next week but I’ll try to get some side by side photos up.

Im guessing those that got this monitor already are those that got international shipping, from the egg place lol for £1300 or am i wrong. cause there is no where in the uk selling it yet.

Mm nice one, by the way your question about gamma, You would want mode 3 as 2.2 gamma is best for monitors.

What do the different modes do or change? I calibrated in Mode 2 and got the gamma to 2.19 I believe

Shifts the gamma. TFTCentral measured 2.1 with mode 2 on the G version and 2.2 with mode 2 on the F model OOB.

It would just change the gamma like on a TV or most other monitors, 2.2 is best for monitors, 2.4 is best for films etc.

Here you guys go.. A quick preliminary post before I get you guys some better material and shoot some realtime videos:

Wide gamut vs sRGB gaming

Mirrored displays, LG 950G on left, 100% sRGB coverage ASUS monitor on right. Obviously I couldn't use the full ultra wide rez on the 950G so that's why you see black bars. It's at 2560x1440. Yes, both displays were calibrated using the i1 Display Pro and DisplayCal.

Anyone that thinks the 950G is too over-saturated for gaming is full of horsesh*t. Yes you can tell the colors are slightly more vibrant. But to think it is wildly inaccurate is crazy.

You can barely tell the difference:

SKeijmel · 3 Dec 2018 at 04:21

yes i totally agree and thats what i said too, The colors are not overdone too much at all

NirK · 3 Dec 2018 at 04:35

Thanks for the pictures, can you do some of normal images? For example peoples faces or nature etc?

Also is the white uniformity good? For example the X34P has a problem where the right side is warmer (yellow), not sure if they all have that but it is a common problem from what I have read.

ViRuS2k · 3 Dec 2018 at 07:41

i see blb from at least 3 corners on that ultrawide
its amazing how much this panel costs yet still they cant solve the blb issue on IPS.. though i will admit it does not look at all bad in comparison to others.

well thats not good then. nano ips is suppose to make it look better, not the same

How would you expect it to make SDR better?
