Never mind him, the guy goes full retard when anyone doesnt share his enthusiasm for ultra-short (1080p) ultra-wides. 🙄

Buyer's remorse is still a thing, huh.

I've been out of the monitor market for a few years, and as an early adopter of G-SYNC, I'm a little confused by this: "G Sync technology did work" - so is this monitor a G-SYNC monitor or not? Has this tech evolved where G-SYNC monitors no longer require the dedicated chip on the monitor side?

If your monitor support freesynch threw a display port you can enable it nvidia still call it gsync . There are also monitors with out modules that are certified by nvidia about their good compatibility . If not certified the driver will warn you that the monitor is not supported there might be issues from what i saw around the net in the majority of the time it works fine . So try at your own risk if you have a freesynch monitor with dp and an nvidia card just try it no reason not to.

Ah, Chris wrote this one, so he can answer that.

Thank you for the review! A tip, in DisplayCAL create a "Curves + Matrix" profile instead of "XYZ LUT + Matrix" You can also provide the profile for people without calibration devices. https://i.imgur.com/DhahlJJ.png Most of the times I get better profiles by using the monitor Custom Mode and setting the luminosity to 120 cd/m2, gamma 2.2 and adjusting the RGB channels to 6500K with the lower deviations as possible. "XYZ LUT + Matrix" or "Curves + Matrix" profiles? https://ninedegreesbelow.com/galleries/making-evaluating-monitor-profiles.html#what-kind-of-monitor-profile For a gamer, I have no doubt "Curves + Matrix" profiles are much better! If you are photographer/retoucher(probably using a wide gamut monitor) and need color accuracy for better matching prints, XYZ LUT will give more precision. "XYZ LUT + Matrix" profiles gives better calibration results, but visually they can be more rough or less pleasant to the eye... They are also less compatible with some programs. Would be good if test the monitor for PWM, maybe a simple test like this https://iristech.co/pwm-flicker-test/ Or something like this [youtube=LG_V9-BGOiE] Why PWM is BAD! (at least low frequency PWM is) https://www.notebookcheck.net/Why-Pulse-Width-Modulation-PWM-is-such-a-headache.270240.0.html
