2.4:1, not 2:4:1... I even started to wonder if they are counting curvature as a third dimension π

Is it USB 3.1 only? Whats the point?

This is a fantastic size/aspect ratio display. Easier to run than a normal 4k.
(4k) 3840x2160 = 8,294,000 pixels
3840 x 1600 = 6,144,000
With a next gen GPU (Volta), would be a must have display.

$1500... er, no thanks. Hopefully over time, other large size/res 21:9 displays will be on the scene. Tops I would pay for a display like this maybe $800-900.

I have the 34" lg, and tbh I think 38" would be the perfect size for ultrawide. Won't be changing my ultrawide for at least 5 years but more options are good

A lot more room to see that horrendous back light bleeding that LG is famous for on their curved monitors.

Only 75hz and no G-sync. Very lame for a monitor today this expensive. I just bought the ASUS 34" ROG Swift with 100hz and G-sync.
I am absolutely blown away by how much of a difference G-sync makes. Everything is silky smooth with no tearing or judder ever! I would never go back. Honestly I had my doubts but G-sync is a must for anyone.
G-Sync probably has had the biggest noticeable difference in gaming for me since I upgraded to a SSD.

Now this is the monitor tech I want to see more of. A little faster maybe, and with a Gsync model as well, that's an upgrade path I'd take.

I already posted on this in the monitor forum... but can it really not support 75Hz without an AMD card?

Even if i was interested to buy a freesync monitor there is no way i buy one with this ridiculous adaptive Hz range.
The worst i previously saw was 48-75 if i remember correctly. πuke2:

@MegaFalloutFan
For what? So your 1gb files gets copied 2s faster?
Or your trying to say that you image your os to a usb stick?
LOL.
To me, it sounds more like somone complaining to rationalize why they wont/cant buy a +1000$ screen.
And if you would really be concerned about speed, you would use a sata/esata connected ssd, making the type of usb porton the screen irrelevant.
