LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor

Yeah, it also strikes me as being odd. Apple has been doing it for years with their displays any nobody ever shouts their cinema displays/laptops down much these days for being overly reflective. Every touch display out there on a tablet or phone is glossy/glass too.
Glass fronted displays have a lot of advantages in that they remove grainy AG coating, make cleaning easier, improve contrast and generally look/feel more premium and expensive. I'd have thought glass panel displays would be the norm by now actually with matt/AG ones a niche option.

Professionals prefer matte displays because they are more colour accurate. That's why high end panels are mostly matte.
Edit: Hmm, from the HardForum thread, it seems a number of people are encountering flickering when connecting via DP 1.2. Isn't that necessary to get access to the 8+2-bit billions of colours the monitor supports?

I have disabled DP1.2 in the OSD of the monitor.
Running it on a 290X (Catalyst 14.4) and was getting some strange wake issues and also weird popping sounds when the screen flickered while playing games (BF4 specifically so could have been the graphics card).
I don't know if it was my DP1.2 Amazon cable, the graphics card or the monitor.
Running fine though for the last few days at 3440x1440 60hz 8bit with zero issues.

This one as I am in the US http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0098HVXVQ/
I also tried the DP cable that came with the monitor and that was even worse, as soon as I activated 1.2 in the OSD the screen would flip out and split into two parts of different flickering mess.
Made me think that the supplied cable was not even a 1.2 cable.

Hmm interesting, I note that the one I ordered says it supports 10bit colour: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005H3Q59U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But the one you've linked doesn't mention that - I'm sure realistically there's no physical difference unless one cable has additional pins or thicker gauge or something?
Will find out soon

Yeah I think my cable is as good as I could get based of this database http://www.displayport.org/
The issue has to be with my graphics card or the monitor in my opinion.

There is no such thing as a DP 1.1 or DP 1.2 cable, they are all just DP cables.

Got mine today (in the US here):

On the coating, it's very light and coming from a 3008WFP I agree with others that this panel looks semi-glossy. Unlike the 3008WFP no grainy/sparkle effect on solid color backgrounds either. I'm really happy, this monitor comes pretty darn close to perfection for me!

I just read on a page that doing this locked the display to 48hz? Can someone confirm this is not the case as to why it flickers? Do you get 60hz with DP 1.2 enabled in osd?

We expect pictures a nice lengthy user review and also more pictures
I'll test out everything I can later tonight once I've had a good old play and watched some 21:9 content and had a gaming session
Hmm so all should be ok then. Some guys on other forums were saying how their single 780 TI wasn't capable of keeping the framerates up in games. I can';t see the jump from 2560 to 3440 (27" 1440P) being that huge to cause a massive drop in fps. Certainly 1440P hasn't shown signs of being stressed on my GTX780 (non Ti).
Single GTX 780 Ti is not enough @ 2560x1080 I can confirm so higher will be slower. Lot more pixels to render/manipulate etc etcI'll test out everything I can later tonight once I've had a good old play and watched some 21:9 content and had a gaming session
