There you go...

Ye, its still a rumor, but at least a vendor is saying it, so i think its more solid than most rumors.

 

Even if there is a chance for this to be real, i think its worth the wait.

Oooo my bad then.

 

 

dude this post is not a repost of that post....

but I remember that someone mentioned that overclockers.co.uk post before, but I forgot which post... (or I saw that mentioned on other forum?)

It was mentioned on the last WAN show

I mean the rumor OP posted, not the 4K TN mon thing...

but I can't find that post...

maybe I saw that somewhere else...

I'm looking for a 34" 21:9 monitor with all the goodies and..maybe with a curve.

OR if the screen were OLED, I'd jump on it right away! lol

 

The only thing holding me back is for the price of these monitors and there still being light bleed. :{

[Guest Strangerbob]

IMO The perfect monitor would be:

 

OLED        

=no ghosting, trailing, overdrive artifacts or ANY motion artifacts

 

single tiled f/a/gsync that goes as low as 0 hz (possible on OLED)    

=  means no flicker/stutter/extra lag/tearing of any kind and artifact free fps at ANY fps, including loading screens

 

21:9

= its just better for gaming than any other claustrophobic format, and best for most kinds of work.

 

 

 

Stuff like resolution and refresh rate will increase naturally with time.

But getting rid of all the defects with these 3 technologies combined will soon be possible when OLED becomes cheaper. But that will take YEARS, so bring on the 21:9 freesync please.

16:9 is better than 21:9 for gaming, your opinion is not how it is for everyone.

Have you tried 21:9?  and i dont mean, seen in store...

[Paralectic]

Yes I have and I do prefer 16:9 for gaming, 21:9 is good for movies tho.

Have you tried 21:9 in a game that doesn't adapt the UI for the resolution? Mini-Map in one corner that's nearly half a meter from your character pane in the other top corner for example. That is terrible. I agree, 16:9 is the way to go for gaming right now (although I would really like a 21:9 screen for Flight Simulator)

Ye, ive tried LOTS of games. 70% can be run with no issues or sorted with their own options menu. 25% need cfg edits or flawless widescreen fix. 5% i would say have unbareable UI even after fixes.

 

Sad to hear you had such a bad experience. However, a few bad programs doesnt make the aspect ratio any less superior.

No, what it means is those 5% of applications need to wake the fuck up and sort it out. As do the "will sort of work if you dick around in .cfg files" applications.

[Humbug]

Pretty awesome. Glad they are not going the Nvidia route of just focusing on TN panels.

 

What I am really waiting for is a 1440p 16:9 freesync IPS display to pair with my R9 290.

God dammnit, first the reference 970 and now this?!

[xAcid9]

I can't wait. 

 

[exyia]

because they had SUCH a good timeframe of just releasing the UM95 in the first place......... /endsarcasm

and the other brand's 21:9 offerings have had such timely releases as well vs their online "announcement" ...... /endmoresarcasm

  I think I found my next monitor, if the FreeSync is any good compare to G-sync

LG is working on two new ultra wide 21:9 flat IPS panels with full out-of-the box AMD FreeSync capability for introduction early next year.

 

LG Preparing Ultra Wide AMD FreeSync IPS Panels For Early 2015

The monitors in question will be 29″ and 34″ models and they will feature the best in class LG IPS display panels. The smaller 29″ monitor will feature a resolution of 2560×1080 while the 34″ model will feature a more visually satisfying 3440×1440 resolution.
Both models feature 10bit per channel color, which AMD’s Radeon lineup supports. In addition to an impressively low latency figure for IPS which comes at or slightly under 5ms.

 

As far as pricing goes, the numbers aren’t set in stone yet. However we’d be very surprised to see the new monitors carry any notable premium over their non FreeSync counterparts. If iiyama’s FreeSync monitor is any indication, adding FreeSync support to any monitor will prove to be very cost efficient.

AMD had already told us that adding FreeSync / Adaptive-Sync capability to a monitor would prove to be quite easy technically and financially. In fact the company stated numerous times that FreeSync monitors would end up considerably cheaper than their Nvidia G-Sync counterparts.
The company’s Chief Gaming Scientist, Richard Huddy, stated in November that he estimates the cost differential between two identical FreeSync and G-Sync monitors to amount to $100 less in favor of the FreeSync solution. This estimate has already been validated and was shown to be even quite conservative with iiyama’s FreeSync capable monitor that we talked about two days ago.

In relation to the new monitors from LG, these will only represent a couple of many FreeSync compatible monitors. So if you don’t particularly enjoy using ultra wide displays do not worry. We’re fairly certain that LG themselves will also introduce 16:9 monitors in addition to the ones we talked about today. As always stay tuned so we can keep you updated as we hear more news about upcoming FreeSync capable monitors.

I got so excited...then I saw the source

[StarFire]

I actually drooled...

[Tedster]

Awesome!

 

Sadly, I just moved to a good Nvidia card. GSync it might be.

[minibois]

That´s a whole mouth full..

Would be great if this actually came out

[spwath]

i thought freesync didnt reqquire anything special...

[dalekphalm]

Awesome!

 

Sadly, I just moved to a good Nvidia card. GSync it might be.

Adaptive-Sync, which is what the monitor itself will be capable of, is not strictly an AMD technology. FreeSync is just their GPU/Driver side implementation of it.

 

In theory, NVIDIA could enable Adaptive-Sync compatibility on their cards... Good luck with that though. Why would they do that when they can sell you G-Sync instead?

 

Of course, we still have yet to see actual independent reviews of FreeSync, so the ball is still in the air.

Now, if i can make it slightly curve, that'll be purrrfect.
