I just bought a LG34UC88. Freesync, alsmost no backlightbleed and really, really good price! I highly recommend it. 

 

Also good overclocking potential. :)

No. All g-sync 1440p ultrawides are insanely expensive. The LG is 750eu, all g-sync ultrawides start at 1200eu. I can almost buy two RX480 and a LG ultrawide for one G-sync ultrawide :P

850$. Ye, all 1440p ultrawides start at that price. You got some budget brands that start a little cheaper, but cheapest I found was 550eu. 1080p ultrawides are way cheaper though!

Not by default. Only I already use a 1440p screen. So I can never go back to a screen with 1080 pixels in height. It is just not high enough :P

 

But if you are fine with a 1080p ultrawide and don't mind it being smaller and less pixels, no ofcourse not. They are also more budget friendly.

My my, what a coincidence. I just got mine last sunday, didn't really have a chance to properly play around with it but it's perfect compared to my previous cheapo-24" 1080p monitor.

 

BTW, were you also as annoyed as I was to find out they don't include the USB cable for the USB hub uplink?

Ye, kinda sucks. Had one spare, so not that big of a prob. You also have the problem that the onscreen messages won't stay away? Even when I press 'Don't show again', next time it also just shows.

I had to buy one, no big deal, just thought that when you're buying a 800€ (incl. taxes) monitor it would come with everything you need to make the best use for it.

You mean for the Dual controller software? Yes, yes I do, and it was driving me crazy, especially the sound notification.

 

I kinda solved it by going to notifications settings on Windows 10 and disabled the sound and the "show in action centre" for it. Now at least it isn't as bothersome as before.

How about the 29" version of the same? :D

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-29UC88-29-Inch-Curved-Monitor/dp/B01D7OZRBM

 

You could probably get 2 of these for the price of one 34UC88, just bear in mind that that's 5120 x 1080 pixels, which is more than the 3440x1440p.

 

What graphics card do you intend to use?

Ye, understand the feeling. Totally agree.

 

But ment more like that when the screen turns on, that it says: 'make sure you use the supplied cable'. And when you press: 'never show again',it still shows...

I haven't run into the issue you're talking about... are you using the supplied cable? :D

Ye... The supplied display cable, the supplied power cable. Only not the supplied usb cable, but that should not be the problem...
