LG 34wk95u 5120x2160

Quartz · 21 Jan 2018 at 16:30

I have just been reading about this monitor on TFTcentral and I do hope LG will produce a gaming version - high refresh and Gsync.

I like that it is ultrawide and not curved and is HDR.

Yep, would love to see a G-sync version as well.

Daniel - LG · 22 Jan 2018 at 09:08

So would I

Same here, I don't get why reviewers keep getting the resolution wrong, 5120x2160 is UW4k not 5k, I was just on a channel where one so called tech enthusiast was calling a 3440x1440 monitor he was reviewing a 4k model and when I gave him a link for the correct naming scheme for all the resolutions I got a yeah but, no but, yeah but answer where he still thinks he's right & I'm wrong, I've also linked him to LG's site where they use the correct naming now so maybe he'll take note and correct the title of the review.

Hey Daniel, do you have any info when the 34WK95U-W will be release in the uk? Cheers

Daniel - LG · 30 Apr 2018 at 11:50

Will be June - I have a pre-production sample in my office I am looking at right now

mikeparkie · 22 May 2018 at 00:00

@Daniel - LG, would that be start, middle or end of June? My 34UC97 is on it's last legs (sad times).

Daniel - LG · 22 May 2018 at 16:50

i wont know for another week to the exact shipping dates - I would think middle to be fair..........

mikeparkie · 22 May 2018 at 20:19

Good man, thanks for the info @Daniel - LG

Got another question, as you've been using the sample. Do you think I will notice much difference from coming from the 34UC97, which only has a gentle curve?

should be too much difference going from the slight curve of 34uc97 to a flat 34wk95u - albeit the image quality will be better if you can run the 5k

Ready to get one of these the moment they arrive!

@Daniel - LG If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions:

-Will this work with a PC thunderbolt 3 (I'm thinking a Z270 and a 1080ti) ?

- Does it have other input sources (HDMI etc) and what is the maximum resolution of these?

mikeparkie · 14 Jun 2018 at 11:54

@Daniel - LG How's that release schedule looking, any idea when LG will officially announce availability?

Iroel · 14 Jun 2018 at 12:07

Hi,

I do not know if this information is reliable, but it seems that this monitor supports DP 1.4.

Only 60 Hz refresh.

Daniel - LG · 14 Jun 2018 at 16:12

34wk95u release looks to be August in the UK

mikeparkie · 14 Jun 2018 at 17:09

Thanks for the update. I do wish they wouldn't show stuff at CES sometimes. Waiting over half a year is painful.

Now up for $1499 on LG's US site. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34WK95U-W-ultrawide-monitor

So likely about the same here, maybe a little less.

What do you expect when people call 2560x1440 "2K"?

Or even a little more which is how things have been going over the last year or two.

Sadly not a lot. It starts with companies that pitch products using whatever buzzwords are trending regardless of whether it's accurate or not, Then we get the reviewers who take such info at face value instead of doing their own research to learn all the details & facts.
At least it helps us tell the difference between a tech head reviewer & someone that just wants to run his own Youtube channel. :rolleyes:

Whoever wrote the tech specs page for that should be shot. Most obviously it doesn't say which versions of HDMI or Displayport are supported. And there's no Freesync or Gsync support.
