FreeSync

FreeSync

With FreeSync, gamers can experience seamless, fluid movement throughout hi-res, fast-paced games. FreeSync nearly eliminates tearing and stuttering that can occur because of differences between a graphic card’s frame rate and a monitor’s refresh rate.

1ms Motion Blur Reduction - 34UC79G

"1ms Motion Blur Reduction"

A monitor’s response time is absolutely critical in games. The 1ms Motion Blur Reduction feature will allow gamers to enjoy the precision and accuracy needed to play at a very high level. With a response time that is virtually 1ms, blurring and ghosting are reduced to make the action smoother and gamer reactions more precise.

144Hz Refresh Rate - 34UC79G

144Hz Refresh Rate

Experience smoother and clearer gaming action with a 144Hz refresh rate. Games played on the LG 34UC79G are noticeably smoother when compared to monitors with refresh rates of 60Hz or 75Hz. Combine the smooth action with the curved screen, and gamers will love the optimized and immersive gaming experience.

Crosshair

 Crosshair 

With the Crosshair feature, gamers can take their skills to the next level. By placing the striking point in the center of the display, the feature enhances firing accuracy in first-person shooter games.

Advanced Gaming Features - 34UC79G

Gsync version maybe?

Asked by: Getfunk
No. For G-Sync to work with monitor, manufacturers have to purchase physical G-Sync module from nVidia and design the monitor based on it while Freesync does not require physical module to be installed and it's open source. This is why very few manufacturers build monitors with G-Sync capability because it causes monitor price to go-up.
