I can wait a couple of months, haven't turned into a full fledged cynic regarding this monitor... Yet. When it comes to the Louqe Ghost case on the other hand... xD

UW5 so 144hz on the panel.

Well no, it's 120Hz Native, downclocked from 144Hz (assuming the info there is accurate). I'm assuming it gets downclocked due to DP 1.2 limitations.
It is annoying... if the panel can do 144Hz then all it would need is HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 and we'd be away! Shame, but I'm sure there's more complexity to it than this, and cost involved. It's going to be expensive enough as it is.
Hk LG website says 120Hz OC... That's why i'm asking...
I am aware. I was just answering his question. The panel is 144hz as I said but the monitor will not be 144hz no.
I think he understood me, but clearly I needed to be more specific so not to confuse people.
You can always go for the Freesync version and you will have the 144hz.
Yes. This is causing so much confusion. What people talk about is that the GSync module limits it to 100hz and you can overclock it to 120hz. I don't know.
Yep but this is no sense. Total bandwidth for 3440x1440@120 is enough in DP. Somebody did the calculation. And DP itself cannot limit to 100Hz cause obviously there are 2560x1440 monitors with 144Hz and GSync.
Really hope to be 144Hz downclocked to 120, otherwise I'll pick the AW3418DW, cheaper and the same specs (despite of the UW5 panel).
3440x1440 is a lot more pixels than 2560x1440 though.
What do you mean? The panel itself is 144hz so given it will use the UW5 it will always be downclocked from 144hz. But I am guessing it will be locked to 120hz and not be able to clock to 144hz. The limitation as I said seem to be in the GSync module(?).
This is very confusing. Hope LG clear this at gamescom or at least at IFA Berlin.

Much confusion indeed surrounding this... as stated, this could either end up a clear winner over the AW3418DW, or little more than a more expensive clone (the Dell can be had for £850). LG really need to clear this up before release. Their official specs state 100Hz native with 120Hz OC, but from this new info that doesn't seem to be accurate. LG Marketing department may just have things mixed up though, or perhaps spec changed during development. Things like this are just so unnecessary... sort it out!

Interesting. Wonder if they'll do something to rival the LG... they have to really. Would be great if it had DP 1.4 (to pair with a 2080/2080Ti) and took advantage of the 144Hz of the latest UW5 panel. All it needs then is HDR and we might just have a pretty epic monitor on our hands. I'm getting ahead of myself now lol... we'll see tmrw I guess.

3440x1440, 144hz, Gsync, IPS would be the dream..
OMG make it happen.
Yeah, with the LG 34GK950G rumoured to be around £1200, there's no way a 144Hz version (or even a Dell clone of the 120Hz LG) is going to cost any less. If they do wring 144Hz from it and include DP 1.4 and HDR, I wouldn't expect much change from £1500, quite possibly more.
Nope. There is not more complexity to it than that. You need only provide the bandwidth of DP1.4 and the UW5 panel goes to 144Hz. The lack of bandwidth, as a result of using DP1.2, is the ONLY reason the 34GK950G is limited to 120Hz. I suspect the reason it's not using DP1.4 is very likely due to nVidia's G-SYNC module for DP1.4 being insanely expensive.
Your statement makes no sense Eluryh. I presented the correct calculation a few pages back (#163). DP1.2 can achieve 3440x1440@120, but due to bandwidth limitations can't do 3440x1440@144. Only DP1.4 has enough bandwidth for the later.
