** GORGEOUS NEW LG 4K MONITOR - LG 27GN950-B PRE-ORDER NOW **

[nlel1975]

While the thought of 43” 4K 144hz is nice, it’s probably too big when sitting as close to the screen as you do with a PC monitor. In fact the recommendation for 4K gaming is between 27” to 32”.

I might be biased though as I’m getting the 27” LG 27GN950-B.

It is bloody massive tbf, mine is about 1.5 armlengths away from my face and that's the bare minimum distance I can handle. It's comfortable at that but could easily have it another foot away.

If the 27" LG 27GN950-B is £ 749 and the 43" ASUS PG43UQ is £ 1295.99 expect 32" ones to be priced somewhere between the two.

As with everything technology related whatever you buy today will be bettered at some stage by something cheaper. I’m talking about future 32” screens with DisplayPort 2.0 and HDMI 2.1

You can wait forever or buy today and use it until some killer new feature comes out that is worthwhile upgrading too. Everyone who buys a monitor today regardless of price is subject to the same rules.

By buying 4K 144hz you are future proofing a bit but that’s not to say some future graphics card will need DisplayPort 2.0 to get the most out of it but it should be backwards compatible at least.

Viewsonic announced this lately with a projected price of 1000euro (so maybe £900ish);

Other makes coming too based on the same panel

I went with a huuuuge 43

 

[nlel1975]

I've never gamed on a console on a monitor screen. For me consoles are designed to be used on TVs. So HDMI 2.1 is lost on me as I will only be PC gaming on my monitor.

Also I'm in the market for a monitor now, not Q1 2021.

@NikTheSHNIK have we narrowed down the ETA yet or is it still just some time in October?

If he had any more updates I'm sure he would have told us. At the moment its sometime in October. Be patient, the best things come to those who wait.

Could be a good sign that ocUK will have some stock soon.

Thats what I'm hoping

Lg tweeted me to but just said October for OCUK and another retailer named after a spicy dish, but nothing specific

 

[Loken257]

Just had a message back from OcUK support about availability:

"Thank you for your webnote, I believe we have an LG shipment arriving around the middle of October these monitors (27GN950-B) should be on that shipment".

No comment on quantities/specifics, but narrows it down a little.
