Man of Honour
Wonder if mine will be delivered today too...
I got this monitor yesterday morning. Today I'm sending it back.
It's a lovely monitor for general use but it has what I can only assume are quite high levels of input lag. I was intending to replace 3 BenQ XL2720Z monitors with this but I've obviously been converted to the benefits of 144Hz gaming as this thing almost made me feel nauseous. Whilst trying to ascertain the reasons for the lag I did discover that in the monitor settings is the option to enable or disable displayport 2.1, by default it is disabled, as the monitor ships with a Displayport cable I assumed that 2.1 should be enabled, doing so however locked the refresh rate to 49Hz disabling it allowed the "full" 60hz.
Nice monitor if your not much of a gamer, if you are, or worse a FPS gamer you should steer well clear, at least until LG release some kind of firmware update as they did with their previous 29" display regarding input lag.
hmm, well mines arrived. Have to test later though.
Couldn't find many decent wallpapers online at this kind of native resolution so... used my own photos
3440x1440 wallpaper rotation set, now just need to wait for the damn thing to arrive!
Soon
I've not had a delivery yet... DHL need a kick up the backside!
One user has put up a review on Amazon:
To me that reads more like a mix of user error and other factors (since he's a 144Hz(!) TN panel gamer.
The screen is 60Hz over IdsplayPort anyway is it not and he didn't change the response time settings.
Will find out soon I guess.
And I'd just like to point out that the main image for the screen on the OCUK page isn't entirely accurate... It doesn't show the screen's side bezels.
