    FreeSync certainly is getting widely adopted. UltraWide monitors from LG that support AMD FreeSync all had been restricted to 2560 x 1080. The LG 34UC98 (also 34UC98-W) is a curved 34” Ult...

    Although limited to 60hz, it looks to be a great monitor...

    21:9 - 2 years from now, yes.
    Right now 16:9 is still the way to go for general gaming.

    because 27'' inch screen is what you're left with - if the game does not support 21:9(!) on your 34''

    Pish posh. 21:9 is the king right now. Many games support this ratio.. pretty much all current games do by default.

    In the time I've had my x34 predator, I can fill it out in Farcry 4, Witcher 3, heck, even Pillars of Eternity supports it..

    specfications says 48 ~ 75 (Freesync) Hz, so max refresh rate is probably 75Hz.

    I think the 60hz is referring just to Thunderbolt input.

    Such nice screen for passive 3D and no FPR.

    I'd like to actually use one of the ultra wide screens, however I don't see them replacing my triple wide set-up any time soon. Lots of realestate, but can't go back to just one monitor. Maybe a 50" curved display one day...

    If it could really go upto 75Hz then I might just buy this monitor. Sounds great for gaming, especially games like Command & Conquer, Skyrim.

    Also for movies it'll look fantastic..

    I bought it yesterday. You can get 75 Mhz refresh just by setting FreeSync in OSD.

    Using nvidia panel mine went up to 84.
