yeah, I saw it and my eyes lit up

It's the only true upgrade for all the 34in owners out there, and their's a fair few of them

Get us the full specs m8, if it's FALD it's gonna be close to/over £2k easy but possibly worth it!

My XR34 is due an upgrade, HDR and higher refresh is required -- the extra 4 inches and pixels will be a bonus

The price doesn't really bother me too much as long as it's not so extreme I'd need a mortgage to buy it

Daniel - LG · 23 Oct 2018 at 15:43

so as far as I can establish, there is no HDR support on the screen we have coming

Howling · 23 Oct 2018 at 17:05

That's incredibly disappointing.

To be fair, if such a screen had HDR it would also probably have a £3K price tag.

But it is a 38" UW 144hz screen with Gsync yes? If so that's still good

For sure. HDR isn't at all worth the premium on PC as things currently stand anyway, and I've not seen anything to suggest this is going to change in the near future.

Yeah, it ain't all that. Most content is just over-blown anyhow (have a B7 OLED). Not a major fan of it.

Given the choice would have Gsync over HDR anyday!

looks that way......

Is there any indication when we might learn more info about this or even a tentative guess at release date? Is it still very early stages? I know the 34GK950G for example was known about early this year (maybe sooner), so monitors can take a long time to see the light of day even when we know of their existence. This one doesn't even have a model yet, other than the panel itself.

Latest info i have in regards to the production of the LG.Display IPS panel is that it is expected to go in to production in Q2 2019. so i would estimate right now Q3/Q4 for any monitor release. and that's assuming the production of the panel stays on track:

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/blog/lg-display-latest-panel-development-plans-october-2018/

As far as i know, it will include VESA Display HDR certification so expect a peak brightness of around 600 cd/m2. There won't be any FALD i don't think, but some kind of edge-lit local dimming is likely. There is 144Hz refresh rate at 3840 x 1600 resolution and they are also pushing their new 1ms G2G response time spec so there may be some improvements in responsiveness too (remains to be seen)

Greetings everyone !

@Daniel - LG ...can we assume... or to be more on the safe side... can you find out if there will be a FreeSync 2 version ?

I have been dreaming of a FreeSync 2 monitor with this panel since the beginning of the year...

Daniel - LG · 25 Oct 2018 at 10:34

i cannot see one yet (and I can see all of 2019 current planning)

...the dreaming/waiting continues then...

Please keep us in the loop on this one.

I've asked the question

Would you say Baddass was correct in his Q3/Q4 release estimation for the G-Sync monitor using this panel? Or have you seen any info to suggest it could be sooner?

that is likely from what I can see

I'd expect it close to Xmas 2019 and if it comes sooner it's a bonus

Thank you very much for the news of the latest panel development plans from all 3 major panel manufacturers: LG.Display, AU Optronics and Samsung. I found all the articles very useful and enjoyed as much as one can enjoy such a literature.

I saw a link to the monitor panel part database (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/monitor_panel_parts.htm) in all 3 of the articles with the corresponding updates.

Just small corrections to consider for the monitor panel part database's editors:

1. Displays with resolution of 2560x1080 and 5120x2160 have aspect ratio of 64:27 (not 21:9).
2. Displays with resolution of 3440x1440 have aspect ratio of 43:18 (not 21:9).
3. Displays with resolution of 3840x1200 have aspect ratio of 16:5 (not 29:9).
4. Aspect ratio of 24:10 is 12:5 (because 12 and 5 are mutually simple).

I suspect that the table shows incorrect (1-3) and unoptimized (4) values for a mass consumer. But a mass consumer doesn't visit this page. So, here you go.

While technically correct, the ratios are left with respect to 9 or 10 to be comparable to 16:9 / 16:10 so the average consumer understands. Even techies, like on this forum, don't want to be working out how 64:27 relates to 16:9. A lot of specs get rounded to a "standard value" to be most easily understood and compared. So yeah, you're correct - but it's not helpful/useful to be in this case.
