"Did you see the HDR in the explosion?" Yes, through my $60 monitor.
😂😂damnit
😂👍
Lol
Where did u get it from? I need one
@@saifmahran ...srsly?
Oh course do a review on monitor. We love your content!
Review!
Please do review!
I approve this request!
Please do a review into this monitor , I have been banging my head against the wall looking for the perfect ultrawide for gaming and content creation ( I do 3D Modeling) can't find anything please review the panel from a gamer and content creator point if view , keep up the good work !!
Big agree. I spent hours researching monitors until I got so fed up I just rolled the dice and bought one
As always, another spot on, informative video, complete with a breakdown of the panels and a meltdown of Jay. Now THAT'S quality content.
3:14 - saw that spectacular HDR explosion even though you didn’t see that mountain!
Perks of reviewing this monitor: people get educated on it. Cons: none. Do it!
Cons: Price
@Misan Throp Calm down big balls.
@@BuGGzLoVeRsTech AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I'd like a review of this monitor. I'm thinking about getting one for myself.
At least he should make sure g-sync and free-sync were really active. kzhead.info/sun/f5hrntxurJSmmZ8/bejne.html
Thanks Jay! I was struggling for weeks to find the right 2k 144Hz upgrade, and this video took me right to it. Thanks man, love your content
I bought the ultra wide!!! completely love it. it was between that one and comparable models from Asus and MSI, but your reaction to the monitor sold me on the LG
Jay please do a review i'm a ultrawide fanboy and the more ultrawide panels that are reviewed the better!
Ultrawide > 4k
I've seen a couple af 5k panels pop up (5120 x 2160). Those sound very interesting. >120Hz and GSync (or Nvidia certified FreeSync) would be a must for me though to concider investing the kind of money those cost. I'm waiting for years now on a 4k or 5k panel with those specs. Hopefully 2019 will be that year :)
Shouldn't you be trying to fortify Whiterun for the battle?
@@garenson dude, 4k-5k and over 120hz...useless asf
Yes I have the battle has already commenced and were being overrun run while you still can aghhhh!!!
Do the monitor review!!! It looks great, tell us more please???
Please review EVERY monitor coming out this year! LOL So interested with some big improvements IMO with ones coming in 2019
I have the 1080p version of that LG monitor you were raving about and I love it.
DO THE REVIEW!!! Please? Thanks for all the content Jay & team!
Yes! Do a review of the LG 34GK950F!
Thank you for doing 3 completely different price points on this one!
i got the 650f and i love it. works perfect with my 1080 SOOO SMOOOOOTHHHHH
i like how adaptive sync works with my lg monitor :)
Jay review them all. i just wish you had the 27in to test as well because im looking into buying that one.
my old monitor got a nice line going through it, been look all day yesterday and today. thanks for posting this.
Yes please do a review! I have been looking for a monitor like that as an all-rounder since I do a mix CAD, video production, and game but I am tired of the compromises of other more dedicated options.
hey Jay reviews on these monitors would be great with fps displayed ,thanks very much.
FYI the 24 inch is TN and the 32 inch is VA, Jay only mentions the panel type of the Ultrawide which is IPS.
@Canberk Hancan I love 1ms :) it hurts not to play on it
@Canberk Hancan Meh it's subjective, I prefer picture quality over response time. I play more than just fps games.
@Canberk Hancan So you still think that response time is everything? the most important value is Input Lag - guess what? manufacturers don't mention it.
You have helped me too finally find the monitor I'm gonna get with my new gaming pc! Thx! Im going for the 32GK650F since the 34GK950F is a bit above my budget.
Yes to the monitor. Im looking and comparing models, and that one looks good!!
Review it Jay. I'd like to know more about that monitor.
You didn't even show the fps. On that 2080 Ti, if you had more than 144 fps, then FreeSync was disabled anyway and you just played completely without any sync. Please elaborate on this test with a proper review, structured into 144-72 fps, 72-36 fps and 144+ fps with fast-sync and unsynced. And to top it off, please also measure the input latency in each of these modes.
YES! So true
Unless your 1% low is above 144fps and it never drops below then freesync is doing something. Average FPS does not tell a full story
lol, you're not on GamersNexus channel mate. That's Jay - all of his "reviews" is pretty much sitting in front of a sponsored product and blabber for 10 minutes about how much he loves it. Capping FPS rates? Pfft, who needs that... or calibration tools... or glow effect tests... ITS A DAMN GOOD PANEL BUY IT! It isn't to say that LG's monitor is bad - in fact, it seems a great product indeed. But asking this "reviewer" to make decent tests is really shooting ahead of him :)
@@xtrash1ove that's so unfortunate though. I literally just watched an 8min ad and learnt nothing about how the panels perform with g-sync :/
@@marcusciantar3407 that's how things go, I guess :) I've noticed that many KZhead channels turn to shit once they get enough subs. I guess you do your best to deliver great content and people sub, but by the time you hit several hundred thousands, you've got nothing left to tell - everything useful was already covered. For instance, all the best vids about liquid cooling were shot like 3-5 years ago on this channel. Since then, there are just "new builds" - nothing worth watching, especially since there're plenty of modders who make far more impressive builds. That's just a pop-scene of PC-building nowadays :)
Thanks Jay - you give more help then you could possibly know.
Yep, would love to see a review on your monitor. I'm wanting to get one now.
Do a review on the ultrawide one and explain about freesync 2 which it has
1:34 Jay tried to hold his breath for a while xD
Thanks for this update. Would've never known if you didn't make a video. My older Viewsonic has AMD freesync and it works perfectly!
This would be a great time to review the 34" monitor. I'm literally in the market for a new one. Thank you Jay 😀👍
please do the review, i was thinking about buying this one
I have the 32" 16:9 1440p but the g-sync variant and it's very nice , also overclocks to 165hz. i'm super pleased with it. it has a little bit of tracing but thats all.
what's tracing?
@@organicmethamphetamine2391 aka ghosting. Not the fastest panel in the world in terms of response time gtg.
Yes do a review! Also would love to see other panel reviews!
Just thought I'd note for anyone else stumbling across this video in July 2022 or later, this absolutely works on the LG 34WQ500 ultrawide IPS monitor I bought today from a box store with two "Bs" in the name. (Gotta support local stores, you know, if you'd like there to continue to be a place where you can get it RIGHT now.) Like the video says, Gsync does NOT show up in Nvidia control panel until you go into your monitor settings and turn Freesync on. Then Gsync shows up. Turn it on. And then, OMG! It WORKS! And its nice. You can tell its working by spinning around in an area that has straight lines like windows. The window frames should remain straight. No broken lines. It should do that regardless of the FPS count. Its awesome. Thanks J for making it easy. Thanks Nvidia for this hush hush feature. Sure looks like they made Gsync work with Freesync, at least with what LG is doing. In 2022 on a chea. . . inexpensive monitor.
Think I'll also mention I took J's advice from about a week ago to 'GO NOW' and get a graphics card. Now I have an RTX 3080 TI I bought below MSRP. New. Very happy I did. The RTX 2060 that served me well through the past couple years with honor . . . IS STILL plenty useful for 1080p all day long. Yeah. Pretty happy right now. Don't really care that the next shiny thing will be better. There is always a next shiny thing. I don't have a crystal ball, but I suspect I got a hella bang for the buck on my RTX 3080 TI. And it'll possibly be my main card for 5 years. At least. It loves running the ultrawide monitor I bought today.
Hey Jay - it looks to me like G-SYNC wasn't actually active in the video. You didn't tick the "Enable settings for the selected display model" checkbox. Without that ticked, you're just running standard VSYNC on or off On these LG panels it shows you the current refresh rate in the OSD. If you get into a game and the FPS is between 1 and 144 it should reflect in Hz on the monitor OSD
Yeap. Battle(non)sense has nice videos about g- and free-sync. You have to limit fps under max hz if you want something else than vsync.
@@jepulis6674 , Only if the game FPS output exceeds the refresh rate do you need to limit to say 140FPS. At 144Hz VSYNC ON it should be so minimal latency it doesn't really matter at that point though.
GSYNC/Freesync was actually on. The "selected display model" is for telling which of your MULTIPLE MONITORS to use for GSync. If you just have one monitor it's probably greyed out.
How full of yourself do you have to be to assume Jay doesn't know how properly enable this feature.. smh
Yup, my msi mpg monitor has FreeSync but when I go through my Nvidia settings it allows me to enable g sync.
I would like to see a review on this monitor. I am looking to buy this one or the G-sync one
Long time lurker, first time commenter. Firstly, love your work, keep it up! Secondly, please do a review of the 34gk950f!
I just got in my LG 32GK650F monitor from Amazon sweet price downloaded new drivers for windows 10 on my pc for my geforce gtx 1080ti zotac fantastic picture after adjusting resolution and fps thanks for the tip on this monitor it's huge and I love it.
Please do a review of both of the F & G version of this panel
Is anyone actually going to pay extra for the G version now?
0:58 4:27 5:49 gsync is not on !!! You have to click the checkbox on the bottom to activate g sync on a non validated Monitor !!! pls upvote this comment , so that he will see it !!!
except......
I have the 32GK650F and I do have to say that I'm impressed. I got a VERY good deal on it so I figured why not. I wasn't even looking for something this big (32") with 144Hz and 1440. I really don't miss the lack of HDR. The monitor has great saturation even without it. One thing to mention is that it's a VA panel vs an IPS panel like the ultrawide.
As always I like be your videos, keep up the great work. I purchased the lg 34gk950f and am in love. It is an amazing panel and is an amazing gaming experience.
I am very interested in a full review. I have been looking at this monitor since the CES video, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Thanks
For anybody wondering, you can pick up the LG 32GK650F-B for 299.99 at Micro Center (in store). Excellent monitor.
YES I WANT A REVIEW! I just ordered it yesterday!
I've got the viotek 32 inch panel that is similar to that 32 inch LG (I believe they all use the Samsung VA panels) and I've not had any issues running gsync on freesync on either the 2060 or 1080ti.. it's strange to see Nvidia do anything open standard but greatly appreciated! And on the 2060 even with RTX on, it works great!
JTC off 0:00 Flawless speech JTC on 8:56 Derp, derp, derp, derp Also it works, it just works.
Yes - review the all-in-one ultrawide with an absolute bare minimum of HDR standards
I've got an inexpensive MSI 21:9 and a 2070S - adaptive sync and g-sync work perfectly together, very nice experience without the g-sync price tag on the monitor.
i bought the 850F a few months ago fantastic monitor love it
review would be cool and a comparison between other budget ultrawides
You forgot to check "Enable settings for the selected display" That means you are just playing without G sync. 😒
Hopefully he had it enabled when he filmed the gaming parts cuz that would be embarassing..
Yes, 100% useless video.
IT was already enabled in manage 3d settings as "Monitor Tech=Gsync Compatible"
My Pixio works with G-Sync. It's rated for 95 Hz but will run 144. You should also enable V-Sync in Nvidia settings.
@@TE5LA-GAMING you don't need to enable v-sync, that will just limit it to the monitors refresh rate. Keeping v sync off will allow fps to go over the refresh rate, it will automatically turn gsync off but once the fps drops to the monitors refresh rate gsync will turn back on.
Definitely do a review. I’m getting ready to build my first pc in over 10 years so I’m starting from scratch so to speak with all the new tech lol
yes I could watch about 22mins of Phil's editting of you gaming and occasionally saying "see how good that looks?"
1:31 "It's a 34 inch, ultra wide, 144hz, 21:9, 1ms, HDR, nano cell, IPS gaming panel." Good to know haha.
When are we gonna see 19:9 videos from Jay ? or even 21:9 from time to time. PHIL! make it happen.
Please review the first Monitor! I would be very interested in any backlight bleed or Motion blur testing Also, it would be very interesting to see if there's a noticable difference between the g-sync and freesync panels
FYI; the ViewSonic XG2402 monitor that Jay uses from time to time also supports freesync and G-sync also works with that.
I have the hp 25mx and it works great on all games plus I got the monitor for 150 bucks on sale it’s a great deal! It’s 200 right now at microcenter like so others can see
This is like commenting "I like my 1990 toyota supra, great car, got it on sale for $2k, it's a great deal" under a ferrari laferrari review... make some sense dude.
@@leoshalamberidze2532 No its not. He's actually providing an alternative to the lower end model that's perfect for someone like me. You don't need to be an asshole dude
@@Drknight1212 Wow, thanks for calling me out though. Let me just tell you why you are wrong (and rude, but who cares, really): when you are looking at any new high-end stuff, you are expecting it to be pricey and there are good reasons for it. You want 34 inch? OK, that costs something. You want 100+ ghz RR? OK, that also costs something. Can I interest you in a top-notch IPS pannel with stunning colors / latency / HDR / proprietary technologies / multiple other options / software that lets you customize your behemoth? Sure, but that costs money, man. If someone is trying to get you an alternative, he's not going head-to-head to compare it to a 10x less expensive screen, because they simply are UNCOMPARABLE and hence this does NOT provide you an alternative, you are NOT talking comparison, you are looking for a DIFFERENT product that has only visual resemblence with the one in the video above (e.g. both appear to be screens connecting to a PC). Rest assured, you can just go to amazon, select monitor category and put up a filter for whichever price tag you want and look up what actually fits your need, there are items on sale everyday there, i'm sure you can look up a good deal and read reviews which are actually meant toward people looking for items in that price range as opposing to this video, honestly. Again, if still unclear, not trying to be rude, trying to be reasonable. Am using a 10 year-old 24 inch dell panel myself, but because I've seen the LG monitors in person and in this video, I simply know better than to recommend my screen over those above, even though it does what I paid for it.
@@leoshalamberidze2532 Bro what are you talking about? The last monitor in the video Jay talked about was the LG 24GL600F. Its 144 HZ 1080p 1ms 24inch TN panel. The one this guy mentioned he bought has near identical specs for the same price of $200. To me, that's called an alternative or another option that I can use to narrow down what I really want to buy.
@@Drknight1212 That is a very valid point, you (as the guy above) should have specified which monitor did you mean before entering this discussion, the 24 FHD ones are solid comparison. My prev. comment was regarding what Jay focused towards the end of video and what most ppl commenting here were talking of - the more high-end ver. No hard feelings, I hope
Jay. I don't think you have Gync on because the check mark under 3.Display Specific Setting. The enable settings for the selected display is not checked. Gync is not on at all. FreeSync monitor have fps counter in OSD to check if you have FreeSync on.
That's what I was thinking cuz when I tried my screen just when black
Black screen too.
I would love a review aswell! Aswell on how it performs with various videocards.
Yes, please review this panel - I’m VERY interested in a review of it.
Enabling g-sync on freesync monitors was one of the greatest decisions Nvidia has ever made.
Review the damn panel Jay
Thanks for the tip about turnining on the freesync in monitor osd before setting it up in drivers! I have tested 4K LG 27UK600W and it works this way :)
Definitely want to see a review! I'm running an older lg 34um95.

Yes, please review it! I was just discussing how I wished my LG monitor with FreeSync would work with G-Sync technology and was wanting a panel that would have all my favorite bells and whistles, being 144hz, 1ms, 4K HDR and G-Sync but if FreeSync works flawlessly too then I don't mind.
Thank you for this video. This video did not come up during my search. I would have purchased it under your link.
It has a 5ms Reaction Time... The 1ms mentioned is Motion-Blur-Reduction-Time. So nothing new. But I would still enjoy a review.
I think a good video could be looking at the difference between 1 and 5ms response time. I havn't compared the two personally but I don't know if I would be able to tell the difference
I'd like to see a review of the 32 inch. The ultra wide I can't afford
Do NOT get a VA panel for gaming. The smearing is HORRIBLE.
@@EcoAcid, most people prefer VA panels for gaming over IPS. VA is faster than IPS, like a TN panel, but has the color and viewing angles of an IPS but with better contrast. Edit: I have the BenQ EX3203R monitor and it's one of the best that I've ever used or seen, and I've tried out just about every monitor on the market.
@@EcoAcid I have a VA panel and haven't noticed any "smearing" or ghosting. It varies panel to panel just like any other type of panel
+Salty Steel What a load of crap.
So take this with a grain of salt as this is my first "gaming" monitor type of deal. However, i got the 32" for $350 from microcenter and I love it. It feels like an amazing value at that price point, and I've now converted 3 grown ass lifetime console gamers with a mix of the monitor and PC performance. I've got 1486 hours on mine at the time of this writing and I've got no complaints. If you have any specific questions, I can try to answer them, but obviously lots of things are subjective. Edit: ok. I dont like the red accents, that's my only real gripe. An optional little black attachment to cover the red on the legs or something similar would be amazing, I'm probably going to end up using a damn sharpie.
Of course we want to see a review of that panel... I am considering this panel as my next daily driver.
Hi Jay, please do a review of the LG 950F or G! Ideally comparing it to the Alienware 34” IPS offering if possible. Thanks for all the cool content so far.
PLEASE REVIEW IT!!!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A MONITOR TO THROW MONEY AT
'HDR..how can it get any better!' ...Proper 1000nit HDR instead of this gimped PC monitor 400nit HDR, That's how.
Or 600nit HDR at the very least. I consider 600nits to be the bare minimum that is needed for a decent HDR experience.
Right. While the gk950f is a great SDR monitor, @ the hdr400 spec it's a very low end HDR panel with no FALD and sub 400nits of peak brightness. Jay is just fanboying way too hard about it.
Fair but 400nit HDR must be better than no HDR
@@ontherocks9012 It isn't really HDR. It's a loose spec that can be slapped on any screen bright enough to meet it.
Yeah really. I bought a BenQ monitor with "HDR" and returned it because it was very underwhelming.
Yes, Do a Review. Setting up to buy an Ultra wide monitor. I've been watching as many of your gaming monitor reviews as i can b4 Black friday and new year sales. Narrowed it to 35"- 49". Appreciate what u do...
This video made my purchase decision. Thanks.
if you do a review please cover ghosting. make sure you test side-by-side to a CRT.
Anything that's not TN or OLED won't even come close to CRT...
@@markjacobs1086 Yes that was kind of the point of recommending the CRT.
You make it seem as if LG would send you panels they didn't know would work... clearly if they're sending you something it's probably going to work. So..... this was just an AD basically.
For LG yes, but as a consumer who is now excited about the possibility of purchasing monitors without the Gsync tax I want to see as many working samples as possible. I appreciate that this video exists.
@@JathanH I honestly don't see the difference I have the 32GK650F which is the 32 inch version with the free sync off and its quite smooth running it on a rtx 2080 but yea the gsync runs quite fine on this one I just don't know if I have a need for the feature I just got this monitor because I wanted to upgrade my crappy 60 hz tv and finally try a 144 hz monitor
@@sephirothlv100 that's fair. My wife doesn't notice the difference between no vsync, vsync, and Gsync/Freesync unless I carefully point it out to her. Nothing wrong with that. Some people are more attuned to this stuff than others. Honestly I wish I weren't sometimes. I sometimes notice dips of 10fps, and definitely notice 20+ even with Gsync on. So this tech is important to me.
@@JathanH For me it's the tearing, I play all games with V-sync on (or in borderless window mode, which just uses Windows' built-in v-sync). I don't notice the input lag, and even if I did, constant tearing just takes me out of the experience far more. Would love to finally experience G-sync/Freesync in all their glory.
yes, please do a review on the 34 inch monitor, Thanks!
Thanks for doing these videos!!!
>HDR400 >claiming it's HDR >mfw If it's not 1000 nits, it's not HDR.
you don't need 1000 nits for an amazing HDR experience, that shit is blinding!
1000 nits is very fine from good distance (like when watching movies. You can even wear you sunclasses ;). From 30cm... it can be painfull..
On a monitor right in your face you don’t need 1000. 400 is too low I agree. 600 would be fine. If you use 1000 nit monitor inches away from your face that shit is blinding. On TV or further viewing distance yea that’s what you want. For a monitor 600 would be a great experience. Also it still is HDR at lower than 1000. Stop acting like you elitist bullshit opinion is fact. Wanhhhh if it’s not 1000 it’s not HDR.
17 seconds live, 20 views. KZhead are you okay?
I can't believe people still make these kind of comments
You know how it can get any better If LG gives all us viewers one for free like you Jay.
I’m running these(3) monitors on my main and also duals on both my daughters machines and I would be happy if your reviewed it. I love this monitor. Great price point compared to my other curved 144hz 34”/35” monitors like the Acer series we run on the wife’s battle station.
I have been waiting for this
Been waiting for someone to do this type of review with G-sync compatible Freesync monitors. Seriously thinking of getting the 32" model
Yes please do a review on this monitor!
Pls Jay, I'd like to see a review for that monitor and maybe some comparisons. Thx! cheers, 1 of 1.9 million
lol already purchased the 32 inch 144hz version. Such a freaking upgrade. I listened to your upload on building a pc around a monitor, and you are definitely right. It's like upgrading a video card kind of difference lol.
As always test it on more games not only 1. And this coverage was nice 3 NEW monitors from 1 brand. Hoping you will do this with other monitor brands too.
I have an LG 29wk600-w with HDR and freesync I got it for $199 and running it through a RTX 2070 Duke and it is a dream come true LG is putting out some amazing panels now!
@jay yes please, one review of the panel. I am still considering a traditional 27" QHD panel 144Hz versus an Ultrawide. This LG might be the choose one.
Same thing i said about HDR....ohhhhh and then i said wow its amazing! Just look at that lighting, so warm you want to hug it..
Thanks for the video Jay, is it pretty much same experience compare to a G-Sync monitor?
Yes give us a review, im planing to get a new monitor sometime this year
I finally bought a display port cable so I could enable gsync on my aw2518hf 240hz monitor, and wow what a difference it makes. So smooth and responsive and no stutter or screen tear. Visually looks better too. Definitely worth spending 30 bucks.
