LG 34UC79G - IPS 34" 21:9 1080p 144Hz FreeSync

First test results are in!
Still have a hope for this panel, key points:
- contrast about 1:1300
- response time is not stellar, but at least looks average for modern IPS, and sensible overshoot. But more detailed tables would help, maybe some sluggish transition hiding - waiting for tftcentral review

- uniformity on tested sample is quite good, 80% max-min white and 50% black (esp. for pretty low black levels for IPS panels)

Its listed as FreeSync, but also has a 'Dynamic Action Sync' Option

Serious gaming features for serious gamers. Quickly optimize monitor settings to activate the Black Stabilizer to reveal superior detail in dark scenes while the Dynamic Action Sync feature assures smooth, fluid gaming action.

That is simply a name that LG gives to its 'Through' (low input lag) mode. Nothing special really.

..so sad this aint a 3440x1440 panel. Last time i tried 2560x1080 in 34 inch's it went somewhat fine for gaming but desktop use was horrible and pixelated. However I like LG's newest UWs and if i ever jump on the wagon again it will most likely be an LG.

Available now, according to Google for around £590.
But, "exclusive" just to one retailer (???)

Are LG running exclusives now?

I believe it does. I think LTT tested it using an nvidia card(as they do with everything these days).

Whats the Freesync range for this monitor?

I think 50-144. What do you think about response time and blur in that video?

Thats impressive. And yeah it seems really good, dont think I'd have any quarrels with that at all.

Looks like I may be moving to the red team, depending on price of this monitor.

They plan to release G-Sync version later.

"LG.Display are also planning to combine this panel with G-sync for 144Hz support which will apparently go in to development in January 2017"

Damn thats good, then I can stick with the grunt of Nvidia cards unless Vega is really impressive...

Just a shame that they're not going into production until January but its nice to see that LG are adopting G-sync. Hopefully all the competition will bring prices down.

as far as I understand, and that is off very little info, is that the G-sync will basically be the screen for this thread (34UC79G) but with G-sync not freesync

Baddass · 1 Nov 2016 at 14:19

seems logical. Will presumably have only the 1x HDMI (along with DisplayPort) on the G-sync version due to the G-sync module limitations. The FreeSync 34UC79G has DP and 2x HDMI.

Also just to note that it is January when the LG.Display PANEL is expected to go in to production, so i wouldn't expect to see any screen using that until probably around April 2017 at the earliest

Daniel - LG · 1 Nov 2016 at 17:34

I can see March 2017 - so I would assume April 2017 is a safe bet for stock to be available

@1080x2560 I think is more important to have a motion blur reduction function.
G sync/freesync at high fps usually is not so important.

p.s.
G sync version will be for sure more expansive, maybe 150$ more

Huh? It's very important for smooth motion (which whole point of high FPS). For high refresh monitors its even more important than for 60Hz ones.

Unless your games are able to consistently work at 144Hz, without adaptive sync it will only be able to produce multiplies of max framerate (144/72/48/36/etc). This causes "jitter" when framerate switches to next available one. Also for example, you won't be able to display 30/60Hz movies smoothly if you set your desktop to 144Hz.
