LG reveals their 27GL850G 1440p Nano IPS monitor, which features a 160Hz Overclock

It depends what overclock it is. You can overclock panel to 120Hz if it supports native 100Hz. But with new LG 34GK950G panel supports 144Hz, and overclock setting to 120Hz is for the G-Sync module. Also it depends on the monitor model. Dell Alienware AW3418DW could overclock to 120Hz in some cases. But Acer X34P has "binned" panels that always overclock to 120Hz. Basically it is complicated like monitor names. :D

Some light read for TFTCentral. :D

This one was 100hz out of the box, but of course, its overclocked by default. You can see now that they advertise it more clearly. However I bought it when it was first released and they duped me with the clever marketing.

Nope, it does say if you look closely in the description of the ”SEAMLESS GAMEPLAY”, where it literally mentiones it several times:

Note: for smooth gameplay, G-SYNC requires a GeForce GTX 980Ti and above to overclock the refresh rate up to 100Hz

.... thats exactly the point im making. Now, they are more clear on it. However when I bought it, "the day it was released". They mentioned nothing like they do now.

On launch, they rarely mentioned that the 100hz was an overclocked setting. Anyway, we are side tracking again.

Oh right, my bad... missunderstood your post there, as in didn’t clearly read and fully wrapped ”You can see now that they advertise it more clearly”.

They'll tell you anything to get you buying. I really can't even remember the amount of stuff I've "fallen for" over the last decade dude.

Much more careful now though.
