I ordered this monitor from Newegg for $640.00 late last week and will have it by Wednesday. The monitor is listed online at LG in their Commercial Monitor section for $1,761.99. It's a 34" curved (1900R) UltraWide IPS 1440p monitor with FreeSync up to 75Hz. I also just ordered a GTX 1070 FTW2 iCX card from Newegg. I'm going to be testing this display playing DOOM and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided using my old Windows 7/i5-750 rig and see how the card does. I suspect I may get some bottlenecking. As my card will be new I can always use the Step-Up program to jump to a 1080 if needed. This monitor is very similar to other LG models like the 34UC88, 34UC88-B, and the 34UC98. From all the reviews I looked at, this monitor family should be able to overclock to 80Hz...I shall see. The only part of this monitor purchase that has me concerned is the warranty. LG lists the warranty at 3-Years and Newegg lists the warranty at only 1-Year...not sure why that is. This monitor has a more dramatic curve than most others out there, but not as much as the Samsung CF791 (VA Panel) which comes in at 1500R. The more curve the better in my mind.

You do realize that: "Do Nvidia cards work with Freesync?
If you have an AMD card, you'll need a display that supports FreeSync — AMD graphics processors can't use G-Sync. Pair an NVIDIA GPU with a FreeSync display or an AMD GPU with a G-Sync display and the display will work, but you won't get the variable refresh rate goodness. ... It's a smarter way to handle refresh rates.Sep 19, 2015" Basically Freesync is AMD and Gsync is nVidia

I'm not looking for variable refresh rate, just want to be able to run a monitor faster that 60Hz. V-Sync has always worked fine for my low demanding needs.

Alright then. Got my new card installed and the monitor hooked up. I first tried using Displayport but that didn't take, so I tried HDMI and that works. I can't believe how good the whites look. Had to go into the Control Panel to kick the Display up to Larger - 150% to get the display to look like my old 27' 1080p as far as for reading. The vertical height of the display measures 13 1/8 inch whereas the height of my old 27" 16:9 came in at 13 5/16 inch. Loving it so far.

XrayMan Congrats. Enjoy your new monitor.
Thanks; I've been checking out a couple of 4K videos at YouTube and watching them at 1440p and they look great. I took some jpeg screenshots of a couple of the landscape ones and edited them to fit an ultrawide desktop background, they look pretty good but not as good as I would like. I'll put my 1070 FTW2 to the test later.

I had the 29" Widescreen and to be honest, for the price paid, I was disappointed. Never getting into that whole widescreen crap again... But glad you liked it!

Congrats on this. I do have another monitor on my wish list but I only just recently upgraded to an AMD RYZEN, new motherboard, and an EVGA GTX 1080ti FE so the money is gone.

Yeah, the new monitor and 1070 put me over 1+. They both seem to be working well with my old rig. I know it's time to upgrade my rig and have been thinking i5-7600K or i7-7700K, the Z270 landscape is a little more difficult to navigate. It's interesting you went AMD and I hope it works out well for you.

I just changed the HDMI cable over to the provided Displayport cable and overclocked the monitor to 80Hz using the NVIDIA Control Panel. At 82Hz it was unstable. I also changed Vertical Sync to Fast in the Control Panel. I've been testing out the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided benchmark and the most I can get is around 45 FPS using modified Ultra Settings. With such low FPS I don't think Vertical Sync has much to play with the results.

Yeah, I've been checking that link off and on, and the price can go up or come down, day by day. The last I checked Newegg now says they have 11 in-stock. Last week they only had 6.

Yeah, I got lucky, I hope. It seems the prices for these types of monitors is a bit too much. I think the demand for this style and size will grow and hopefully spur production bringing the cost down. I can see the future being a 38" or 40" Curved Ultra Wide 4K monitor. A 34" inch size is the minimum I'd recommend.
