LG 29UM67P NICE!

[guskline]

Newegg just had a super sale on the LG 29" Ultrawide 29UM67P. What a nice monitor that supports freesync. The 2560 x 1080 aspect ratio in ultrawide is great. Plays extremely well with my RX 480.

Nice! What a cool setup. Its all about that ultra wide baby!

And it can be tuned:

Looks like the Low Framerate Compensation works with my LG 29UM67 tuned to 30-75Hz. I can do 20FPS and there is no tearing.
The animation at 20fps is not fluid because object move quite a distance between each frame, so you really want to be closer to 30 fps anyways. But hey! No tearing even below 30 fps is a nice bonus.
I used this guys driver:

Thank you moondog and thank you for the tuning info Erenhardt.

There probably is not a "perfect" monitor for everyone but this Ulrawide at 2560x1080 is almost a perfect match for the RX 480 both in resolution AND that it supports Freesync.

I snagged in for $229 from Newegg on a supersale and it really complements the rest of the 6700k build below.

Nice find! I wonder if this would work on the 34" LG ultrawides. I'm in the market for one of those plus a 480 for Christmas.

kalrith, going to a 34" ultrawide might be a 3440 x 1440 resolution. I have a 34" ultrawide on my 5960x rig BUT I have a GTX 1080 gpu. Big step up from the RX 480.

Thanks, guskline. I've actually been looking to go with a 2560x1080 34" ultrawide like this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UM68-P-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BMES072

I know a lot of people don't like the low PPI of that resolution and size, but coming from a 32" 1080p TV, it will actually be a 19% increase in PPI for me. While I'd love a 34" 3440x1440 monitor, that would be about double the cost for the monitor and a gpu to drive it.

kalrith, based upon how nice mine is, the one you list looks outstanding.

Thank you moondog...

::GASP:: Oh my God Guskline! Flip that "d" around and toss me another "g" please!

Now this is appropriate. I accept.

I was also an alter boy. Looking back now, it probably wasn't a good idea for them to let me be in charge of the fire.
