LG LM375QW2

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.

Sure. Your comment is helpul/useful.

Some time ago we used almost square displays. Some of them had aspect ratio of 12:9 and 11.25:9. There were of course some tech jerks which called them 4:3 and 5:4 respectively.
 
Anyone seen any news on this? Monitor manufacturers are incredible when it comes to keeping information secret :/ Not heard anything on this panel or the Acer X35/Asus PG35 at all....

I suspect it'll be next year before any info materialises I suspect, perhaps CES the most likely, which starts 8th January. Monitor tech does move at an incredibly slow pace.

...any info on the possibility of a FreeSync 2 monitor with this panel (LM375QW2) ?

I am wondering about this too. Why put G-Sync module when:
1) Makes the monitor a lot more expensive as the G-Sync module costs $100-$200 by itself
2) NVIDIA supports Adaptive Sync, meaning you can make the monitor FreeSync 2 with HDR1000 and let NVIDIA qualify it as "G-Sync compatible", that would make the monitor cheaper = better sales as both AMD (and Intel entering the graphics market next year) have support for Adaptive Sync (/FreeSync).
3) Since FreeSync is supported over HDMI 2.0, this gives flexibility. G-Sync is only supported using DP. Also - who would buy this, if NVIDIA suddenly plunders? It will be 2 against 1 next year.

Honestly, LG should stick to the open standard Adaptive VRR. G-Sync modules are currently WORTHLESS JUNK - G-Sync does NOT work with every game out there (example: Path of Exile). G-Sync has issues on some games killing FPS (The Division, Witcher 3, some MMOs). Face it, NVIDIA has hardware support for VRR - when it works it's great, but when it doesn't work - why spend the extra $$$ for NVIDIA GPU and a G-Sync module? If NVIDIA's G-Sync modules are to become the norm, then they have to be FREE, work with EVERY application/game out there and work flawlessly - and that's not the case!

I will not be buying a monitor with LM375QW2 panel if it has no support for Open Adaptive Sync. If LG decides to release one with FreeSync VRR, then sure, as long as the price is reasonable.

And FreeSync works flawlessly with everything does it? ;)

FreeSync varies from monitor to monitor. On mine, I don't have much issues other than the fact that it has quite small range of Hz. G-Sync on my other monitor though, as I said, I don't get why I always have to switch it off and then back on before I start playing an older game. It's got issues. There are work-arounds but seriously... is that what you pay for? It's gotta work out of the box and NVIDIA is failing to make that happen.
