Hey Everyone!

As you will have noticed Gibbo has just done a thread on Gaming Monitor Offers - included in this list is the LG 34UC79G at a special deal price of £499.99 Inc Vat!

BUT!

Also, when you purchase this monitor at £499.99 from OCUK, you will also get a download coupon enabling a free download of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands from 7th March - when the game officially launches!

Not only a nice price, but a lovely free game treat to boot!

I've just enabled FREE shipping on the monitor too buddy!

ANOTHER LEVEL!

Looks like I missed this one, any idea if it will ever repeat?

How about a commitment to 32" 100hz 4k hdr gsync instead?

cmon Dan, just get the TV lot to make a mini...

Daniel - LG · 10 Mar 2017 at 08:41

Hi Beep - the promo with the free game is still active

Doug2507 - the 32" 4K HDR will be coming pretty soon, sadly I don't think its 100Hz and its defo not G-Sync.....

Doug2507 · 10 Mar 2017 at 10:38

I gather LG will tend to shy away from gsync and be limited to freesync? Seems common for non gaming focused manufacturers. Shame as you guys make cracking panels.

The main reason is that we don't like to pay other people for technology, and of course with G-Sync you need to buy the chip from Nvidia for the screen

but saying that, the current 34UC79G (34" curve, 144Hz with 1ms motion blur reduction) will have a sister sku - the 34UC89G which will be exactly the same panel just G-Sync not Freesync - so our first entrant to the G-Sync arena

And I for one am thankful! It is ridiculous being locked into a brand if you want sync tech. I could understand them doing it for when they only had their new 9xx cards out as "supposedly", none of their GPUs could work with the adaptive sync tech, not sure if that is still true for their new 10xx cards though... What makes it even funnier is that they use the adaptive sync tech. on laptops...

It's a shame that the main suppliers for gsync screens i.e. asus and acer don't stop with the gsync crap all together as it would mean pushing nvidia into supporting an open universal standard.

Either way, only a matter of time until they do given that freesync monitors are dominating gsync for sheer choice across the board as well as being vastly cheaper in the majority of cases.

And with Vega on the horizon the game could change once again

Sure, but how many people want a 1080p 34. I guess you think the market is there if they're going into production.

Daniel - LG · 10 Mar 2017 at 12:17

34UC79G and 34UM68 sell very well so we assume the new model can fit into the low end G-Sync market

BeeP · 10 Mar 2017 at 22:39

I meant the £499 deal lol.

Nice to see LG finally making some G sync monitors. 34" curved local dimming HDR 3440x1440 please would be great.

Best

Just read a review of this monitor, it seems best to leave it at 100-120hz, not 144hz. Also make sure it has new firmware.

Maybe newer firmware solves the issue with 144hz

We all wish for 34" 3440x1440 or 32" 4K HDR monitor with 100hz at least (and Freesync 2) but those things are still a good year away

BeeP · 27 Mar 2017 at 12:51

Saw that this was back for £499 so bought it for my son, he is loving it.

I only have it through HDMI right now so it is only 75hz but even that is pretty smooth, I need a mini DP convertor before he can try 144hz.

Daniel - LG · 27 Mar 2017 at 13:21

Hi Beep - fantastic, so happy your son is loving the monitor

would be good to get some feedback from him when he compares 75Hz and 144Hz - or if he is able to see the difference!
