Hopefully (eventually). But LG don’t expect samples here in the UK until March. There may be some pre-release ones before then but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Really waiting for this to be reviewed. From user experiences so far it looks like LG is doing some proper QC with no major uniformity/BLB quirks – and it would offer better contrast ratio than the CHG70 panels. Lots of potential for this monitor.

[PCM2]

Yeah, I’ve been following the user reports and initial reviews and it seems like a solid monitor. Although contrast is perhaps a little lower than that (but still strong by the looks of things). It will be a nice one to review, eventually. 😉

Just a quick update on this. It seems this model should be available between now and end of Feb in the UK. I’d expect better retail availability in the US around that time as well.

For those who were disappointed that this wasn’t IPS, it seems LG do have an IPS model in the pipeline (~32″, 2560 x 1440 and 144Hz – but no G-SYNC).

Any more info on when 32GK850G comes out in Europe? This monitor looks very interesting to me.

There is also 34GK950G monitor coming. How much it willl be different? I know it will have bigger size (34-inch), 2560×1440 and Nano IPS. What is Nano IPS?

[PCM2]

Nope.

Re. Nano IPS and other models refer to https://forum.pcmonitors.info/topic/monitors-of-ces-2018/. It is 3440 x 1440.

[PCM2]

We’ll be reviewing this model shortly, just waiting for LG to get a sample over to us.

[Asasinas]

Can’t wait for review!

My store has added this monitor to the listing, so it’s probably coming to Europe very soon.

[PCM2]

Yup, I’m looking forward to reviewing it as well.

I should also mention that it is listed as a pre-order on Amazon US, so should arrive there shortly for users able to order through them.

[PCM2]

And still we’re waiting for the review sample… Nothing is happening quickly with this monitor here in the UK.

[Cynwrig]

I hope there also comes a freesync variant. Might become my second monitor.

[PCM2]

I hope so too, it would be nice to see this panel used more broadly.

[Asasinas]

This monitor is finally available at my store!

Should I get it or wait for reviews?

[PCM2]

That would depend how good the returns policy is at your local store. From the user feedback so far it seems to be a pretty decent bet and if you can try it yourself and return it if you don’t like it then why not?

[PCM2]

Should finally be receiving a review sample of this model next week. LG have been doing some reorganisation with their PR team which will hopefully make it easier to receive samples of other models from them in the future as well. We’ll see. 🙂

The word finally comes to mind – https://twitter.com/pcmonitors/status/1012337155996311552.

Review live.
