LG 34wk95u 5120x2160

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.

Only 60 Hz refresh.

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

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.

Pricing on that link is about right - I am expecting MSRP £,1499.99 INC VAT in the UK

Can you please advise which versions of HDMI and Displayport are supported, and if it's HDMI 2.1, is Variable Rate Refresh supported?

DP 1.4 can do 120 Hz 4K.

Actually, the recent Asus and Acer high-refresh 4K monitors show that DP 1.4 can't do 120 Hz 4K. They start to lose precision at 96 Hz. They need the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 for full 120 Hz 4k. And this monitor is 5K. Dell require two DP 1.4 cables for their 8K monitor.

Incorrect. Some seriously horrid reporting spread this nonsense around. DP 1.4 can and does on the X27 I own run 120 Hz 4K RGB Full, 8-bit color.

Ah, but the monitor is 10 bit HDR, not 8 bit SDR.

So your monitor will do 8 bit plus HDR at 120 Hz without image degradation?

Just when I've spent my pennies on a RTX.

I'm eager to see frame rates, and then maybe there'll be hope for a GSync version. I can see myself pairing one of these with an 8K monitor.

I just got this monitor a couple days ago. Let me know if you have questions.

Are you using it for gaming? If so, what frame rates are you getting at which quality settings?
