LG may have pioneered ultra wide monitors over three years ago but it's taken them until now to offer a fully fleshed-out product line catering to gamers introducing the three for you c89 G - B that's not just me make fun of other brands for like republic of gamers anything is better than three for you c89 G - B anyway it's their first ultra wide to offer G sink and a high refresh rate we're talking 144 Hertz overclockable up to 166 Hertz but is it worth your money only one way to find out savage jerky is created without the use of nitrates or preservatives use offer code LTT to save 10% through the link in the video description the angular crimson streaks and kind of says it all this monitor is for gamers with a capital G it's got about 5 inches of height adjust 25 degrees of tilt and like many LG stands no swivel it does give you three degrees of rotation though in case your jerks co-workers decide to troll you so that's something the refreshingly easy to access IO panel has just one HDMI 1.4 in one DisplayPort 1.2 in and an audio jack then we get a USB type B upstream port to power the integrated hub with 2 USB 3 type-a ports with fast charging it apparently also has an integrated Mouse bungee that helps your organize your space a claim that I'd be happy to validate for you if only our unit actually came with it the IPS panel is really nice filled with accurate colors great coverage of the srgb color gamut and high contrast with higher-than-average 300 nits brightness you could do some basic content creation on this thing for your let's play videos for example but what's it like to game on it well in a word suite as with all curved ultra lines the expanded field of view offers not only a higher degree of immersion but sometimes even an advantage in games where spotting an enemy or an objective half a second before the competition can make a difference the 5 millisecond grade of grey response times minimize ghosting and for everyone running Nvidia graphics g-sync keeps the panels refresh rate tuned to the FPS coming out of your graphics card to eliminate tearing and stuttering and finally yes the monitor runs at a hundred and forty-four Hertz meaning the image on screen refreshes a hundred and forty four times per second 44 percent higher than the fastest ultra wide that we've had in the lab previously and it's even overclockable to a hundred and sixty six Hertz though your mileage may vary every individual panel overclocks a little bit differently and ours wasn't a spectacular overclocker now sixteen by nine monitors are available with refresh rates of up to 240 Hertz at this point but unless you're global elite or some BS the odds of feeling a difference between 144 Hertz and 240 Hertz versus the night and day difference between sixty Hertz or even 100 Hertz and 144 is relatively slim so with this product you're not choosing between smoother onscreen animations and ultra wide immersiveness you can have both which doesn't mean that it's without compromises I have a confession to make I was super pumped for this monitor to arrive because for whatever reason I thought it was running 34 40 by 1440 resolution at 166 Hertz which would have meant that it was using the shiny new DisplayPort 1.4 standard and yes that is what excites me I've got no shame about that so then when I arrived and it was 2560 by 1080 I went through all the stages of grief denial no no it can't be guilt maybe I saw 144 Hertz I thought 1440p Oh God and even anger they've had 1440 peals or wives for years why are we going backwards until finally I reached acceptance because depending on who you ask the lower res could be considered as much a feature as it is a problem a lower resolution makes it easier to get higher frame rates in games at 1080p ultra wide is just over half the number of pixels of a 1440p ultra wide so if you're not going to be able to play doom at 150 frames per second 34 40 by 1440 resolution then why pay for all of those pixels better to drop the resolution increase your graphic settings and enjoy your buttery smooth golden river of frames so then with that said should you buy this monitor over say the Acer predator X 30 for a similarly priced similarly featured and that they both have g-sync and IPS panels ultra wide with a higher resolution but a slower refresh rate that depends if you're all about the games especially fast paced ones then it's pretty easy to recommend this one ultra wide is an awesome experience but if you do a lot of anything else in my opinion 1080p at this size is pretty pixely looking and I'll personally still be waiting excitedly for these features in a higher resolution model Dollar Shave Club delivers a game-changing shave you can get high quality blades
