Posted August 16, 2016 I just bought a LG34UC88. Freesync, alsmost no backlightbleed and really, really good price! I highly recommend it. Also good overclocking potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 16, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Posted August 16, 2016 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 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.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 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? Edited August 20, 2016 by vojta.pokorny 29UC88 Quote and/or tag people using @ otherwise they don't get notified of your response!

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supplied display cable, the supplied power cable. Only not the supplied usb cable, but that should not be the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
