Is 3 monitors takes more gpu resources than one monitor? For example playing on one and anothers just with Web or something?
Hah. Ya. I need a 3 monitor setup for work. 2 to display images and the third for researching references, data entry, and detailed info on the images. Ultrawide is pretty nice to have for that too.
Ya. 3 take up more resources but in desktop mode it is nothing a gaming graphics card can’t handle.

I got 1080ti up to 2ghz. So i going to need all resources to ran my new monitor at ULTRA 120hz AAA games. What Gpu/fps you got? Is monitor good for gaming?
If you do not want to use profiles on this monitor, how accurate can you get the colours using just the OSD controls? Are they going to be wildly over saturated when using the OSD controls and your only option would be an ICC profile? Or is it possible to get them half decent using the available OSD?
Does seem odd how you can only use the DCIp3 colour space with this monitor and how it is so over saturated in colours, considering this is not an actual HDR monitor it seems a bit odd overall. As I said above if you can get it to within maybe 5-10% over saturated using the OSD controls, that would be ok, but if it is anything near 30% then that is not very good.
@TFTcentral, why don't you include the section with "best available OSD settings" in your reviews anymore? That was very useful when you did that.

I would say it would be the other way around.
As the G-Version will feature an approx. 30% bigger colour space, would this also mean that colour bandig increases?
Say for a transition from black to blue, there would still be only 255 steps, but (0,0,255) would be a deeper hue of blue than on non-nano IPS panels.

does anyone know why the price on the store page is different than the one in the basket? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-3...-curved-widescreen-led-monitor-mo-14x-lg.html

The prices are the same to me - £1099.99. What are you seeing? Unless you qualify for free shipping when you go into your basket you will have an added shipping charge of £11.70 for the pre-selected delivery type. That will increase the total basket value to £1,111.69.

I think its crazy to say that the colors are wildly over-saturated. Out of the box, without calibration, the colors are fine. They looked great both on desktop tasks and gaming and I noticed no 'neon' effects.. I think the wide gamut displaying sRGB thing is overblown and love the way this monitor looks in game and in daily use.
Yes, this monitor is awesome in games. And yes your 1080ti will perform well. I just got a 2080 ti to pair with this but I needed a new video card anyway.
Well to be honest, they are over saturated, no offence but I am more interested in measurements because it depends on the person viewing it, for example most people watch TV on vivid mode etc. but to me that looks terrible. Something like 0-10% would be ok, would have been good if the TFTcentral review would have measurements using the optimal OSD adjustments, looks like you can get good gamma and white point just using the OSD but would be interested in the colour DE.

For example this video on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31CcPqfW-ZU
It looks ridiculously over saturated in that video, I am not sure what it is like with optimal OSD adjustments or what preset that was in though.

Is it possible that the Shop prices are listed in pounds while the basket prices are listed in € for you?
you can't alter the 950G's colour space using the OSD at all, it will only impact things like the gamma curve (via gamma setting) and white point/colour temp (via the RGB controls or colour temp presets). The actual underlying colour space will not change and so you will always be operating with ~135% sRGB coverage and so have some over-saturation compared with the sRGB colour space. The "best OSD settings" can be found in the calibration section of the review, those are optimal with or without the ICC profile being active, at least on the sample and system we had

Is the lack of sRGB mode something that is attributed to some sort of limitation placed on the panel by the G-Sync module? Does the way it is implemented prevent this being available as a setting?
What do you think about the colours using the optimal OSD settings and no ICC profile? Would you say they are very over saturated? Is this is a big problem? Or are the colours reasonably accurate using the OSD settings?
Does seem weird to release a monitor like this if the colours are very incorrect, I assume because the Gsync module and the fact it is a DCIP3 panel, they did not have any other option. As ICC profiles do not apply properly to anything other than desktop colours or ICC compatible apps, if the colours are 30% over saturated this would be a problem.
For example if I put my TV into DCIP3 when using REC709 content, it does not look good, if the content is also DCIP3 then obviously it looks good. Is the LG comparable to running my TV in DCIp3 colour space when using SDR / REC709 content? For example would rec 709 / SRGB 100% red, be DCIP3 100% red?

yes it will be related to the G-sync module here
It doesn't really make any difference whether you are using the ICC profile or not, the gamut of the backlight will still be the same. If you are viewing normal sRGB content then the colours will look a bit over-saturated, more bright and vivid than they were intended. That is often not an issue for gaming and multimedia (the screens intended uses) as a lot of people actually prefer this kind of appearance. It also means that for games and content mastered in the wider DCI-P3 colour space (including HDR material) it will be able to show the intended colour space properly.
However, if you are specifically wanting to work with sRGB content for colour critical work, photo editing, colour matching it may well cause you problems and be difficult. It also means that if for any reason you really don't like the more vivid and saturated colours you have no way to restrict them back to a smaller sRGB colour space. If you really want to be able to work with sRGB content without worrying about the wider gamut of the backlight then the 950F would offer you the sRGB emulation mode option, or if you want a G-sync screen then other competing models like the Dell AW3418DW or Acer X34A for instance would be more appropriate.
