    [News] LG to release 34UC79G 144HZ IPS UltraWide Monitor

    http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/lg-...e-monitor.html

    LG is set to release 34UC79G 144HZ UltraWide Monitor based on an IPS panel, a 2560 x 1080 resolution (21:9), 144Hz refresh rate (50Hz ? 144Hz variable, with Adaptive-Sync) and a gentle 3800R curve.

    The monitor supports Adaptive-Sync meaning AMD users can run FreeSync variable refresh rate technology(with compatible GPU of course). We think that most end-users are disappointed by the 2560 x 1080 as that really should have been 3440 x 1440 resolution. Other specs include a matte screen surface, 1000:1 static contrast ratio, flicker-free WLED backlight with 300 cd/m? typical luminance and 8-bit colour (likely without dithering).

    A 4ms grey to grey response time is specified. There is also ?Black Stabilizer?, a gamma enhancement feature which artificially enhances detail in dark areas at the expense of accuracy to improve visibility. There is also an on-screen crosshair function and an integrated 1:1 pixel mapping function. It has 100 x 100mm VESA holes and monitor connectivity includes DP 1.2a (with Adaptive-Sync), 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports (one with fast-charging), USB upstream, 1.2mm audio input and 3.5mm audio output.

    The 34UC79G just went on pre-order in the US for under $699 and is expected to launch in regions including the US and EU shortly.

    I agree, I think at 27+ you really need to switch over to 1440p (though I still maintain 4k is overkill).

    As long as there's perceivable aliasing, there's no reason not to want higher resolution screens.

    Unfortunately, the software support of HiDPi in Windows is deplorable.

    DPI scaling support is the main reason I am against higher resolutions (as well as the fact I don't have the gfx hardware to drive 4k at 120 Hz ).
