I'm happy with my LG 32GK850G and they created a good Gsync implementation, I can imagine they'll do the same again with this G model 
LG 34GK950G, 3440x1440, G-Sync, 120Hz

My local tech store told me that they will have the 34GK950G at the end of october in store and gonna sell them in november.
I'm probably lucky and can get one in a week :=)

In the US I imagine Amazon, Newegg, and B&H should all have them fairly soon after "release". I'd put my money on someplace like B&H or Newegg getting it before Amazon though.
Normally though, B&H places new stuff under pre-order or coming soon.
Regardless, it's the --> $1399 plus tip <-- that's the real issue.
Uh oh, here comes dat censorship.
God forbid, someone takes themselves less seriously instead of getting offended.
Don't be jealous.

I don’t think that will be much of an issue in the US. Newegg already has a “slash” thorough the MSRP indicating they will probably do one of those “see price when you add to your cart” things. Probably $100 off at least.
Besides, when was the last time we saw monitors sold at full MSRP? I mean, even the brand new, no competition, Predator x27 is $200 off MSRP ...
Do we have a release date in the USA? How safe is it to buy a monitor online when Newegg’s return policy is *8* dead pixels?? That’s insane.
I don't know what your sales laws say, but in the UK you can return an item within 14-days no questions asked, provided you haven't damaged it or used it anymore than is necessary to determine its suitability etc.
Also, it's unusual for a retailer to dictate a pixel policy, especially one so high (I've seen some offer zero dead/stuck guarantees though). This is often down to the manufacturer.
I don't see the price listed on newegg, just the coming soon. I wouldn't get hopes up for this one. Be pleasantly surprised, but much better to limit your expectations. It's looking like a bit of an overpriced hype train at the moment.
Release is probably around the end of the month if the listings are up already.

This is a good discussion - if you look at an LG monitor user manual, they pretty much state that dead pixels are entirely normal. Compare that to Asus which gives a zero bright dot for 1 year and the 2 more years of no more than 2 bright dots and 5 bad pixels overall (or something like that).
If anyone has an official warranty from LG please share the verbiage.
In the US it’s pretty common to have explicit dead pixel policies. I was surprised to see Newegg having such a high dead pixel tolerance. Crazy. That’s why I ask if people would actually order one online?
And no we can’t return within 14 days unless there’s a reason (although some retailers have a more generous return policy)..
Thank you for your work @Baddass.
Can't wait to see the review of the 950G, and then decide AW, X34P, 950G... or wait for PG35VQ
In what ballpark do we expect the PG35VQ to be prized at? 1500+, 2000+ or 2500+? Talking about Euros now.
I expect 2000€ minimum.

Seems right. I'd be shocked if it's any cheaper than their 4K gysnc HDR 27" which is $2000US.
Here in Spain the PG27UQ is 2.500€.
So I expect this one to be 2.000€, who knows if maybe the same price.
The PG27UQ is IPS and 4K. These ones have more inches due to ultrawide but they are VA panel and have less resolution 3440x1440, so maybe are cheaper. However they will have more FALD zones. Who knows. We don't even know the release date

Depends how many they want to sell I suppose...
Damn. So here’s an interesting question- if price wasn’t a factor, would someone get the LG 950G or Predator X27 ?? Ultrawide great color gamut, or narrow screen 4k flat panel??? I really don’t know which I would choose .... not sure I’d want to give up ultrawide
I guess it depends on your needs. As an all-arounder I'd go with 950G since 4K displays still have issues with scaling unless I run them at 200% scaling, which would give me same usable space as a 1920x1080 monitor, a no go for productivity. For strictly gaming the X27 seems better to me though.

Well if price wasn't a factor it'd be the 27" 4K I guess, because in this imaginary world you'd also spend $2500 on the pair of 2080ti's you need to render 4K at high frame rates.
What a strange monitor, the freesync version. According to LG Display the HDR capabilities are 500 nits peak. In this review the HDR has lower brightness than 400 nits SDR. Clearly there must be a firmware issue here? Freesync 2 also requires low latency (although that is not defined afaik). Yet this monitor suffers from quite a bit latency. Freesync 2 is supposed to do the LUT in the GPU/drivers to lower latency. But it's just really high. Not only is this monitor released almost 11 months after announcement, but it has issues too.
What a let down really. I guess 2019 with HDMI 2.1 low latency, high frame rate and freesync support, means it makes more sense to just buy a cheaper TV with vastly superior everything than these monitors.
