LG 34GP950G

I don't suppose anyone has any indications as to when the LG 34GP950G might arrive or price?

Hi, I tweeted LG UK a few weeks ago and they said the expected launch is in July with an MSRP of £1,299.
A bit pricey, perhaps it is 1,299 USD...?

We have been told mid July but ETA's have been sketchy last 4 months or so with all the disruption. Take with a pinch of salt.

Cool, though I was hoping for more like £900-1k

Yeah that won't happen, It's got a whole 200 more nits than the 34GN850, The predecessor, 20Hz higher and the RGB lighting on the back, This is how they'll justify the price increase.

I have a GN850. I wonder if the difference is worth an upgrade?

Can’t see it myself. RGB on a monitor isn’t worth a toss anyway.

Yeah this isn't for people who have a GN850, HDR 600 is crap and I highly doubt someone is going to see the difference between 160Hz and 180Hz.

Gsync Ultimate module too, that adds £££!!!

How does that differ from normal Gsync?

Hardware module.

robfosters · 21 Jun 2021 at 20:59

Thanks, but what does it do differently to normal gsync?

Makes a lot of noise

Good call out, Yeah that'll add on them £££ real quick !

Not much, Nvidia say they have tighter control of their version of adaptive sync but in reality there's practically no difference in performance, G-Sync Ultimate is their last push to try and stay relevant in this specific market when it really doesn't do much else different than VRR already does on its own.

Hi Nik,

Any update on this by any chance please?

Looks like there’s a queue forming with some holes being burnt in our pockets .

kind thanks…

This Swedish site claims release is 22nd October https://www.inet.se/produkt/2219327/lg-34-ultragear-34gp950g-qhd-curved-nano-ips-g-sync

Well that’s a bummer

Magimixer · 24 Jul 2021 at 14:43

I’ve asked LG uk on Twitter - will feedback any response I get…

Magimixer · 29 Jul 2021 at 11:03

Been told by LG uk the launch is pushed back to mid-September (week 37).

Sad times.

I've now decided that I'm actually mainly gaming on my LG OLED and only need a computer monitor for office/content creation (and occasionally MSFS2020), so I've settled on the 34WN780-B with ergonomic stand for £440 instead.
These OP gaming monitors are wasted on me if I only play story-driven single-player stuff such as Cyberpunk in 4K ray tracing max settings that doesn't go above 60 fps anyway.

Scratch that, I saw the 34GN850-B on our 'Vindaloo' high-street tech store for £799 last night and pulled the trigger. £744 with Hosho discount. Today it's gone back up to £949 again LOL.
If the 34GP950 is around £1200-£1300, I don't think the HDR 600 and 180 Hz or G-Sync ultimate justify around £500 difference. Oh, and we won't be able to buy it anyway with the demand vs availability.
