Ordered a Asus PG348Q & Ergotron MX Desk Mount this morning....
Now am not going to want to look at my bank poor account...
Now what the bets I be ordering a new GPU or two very soon...
Grats on the purchase, you've ordered the best superwide out there right now. It's truly is an awesome bit of kit.

Is the bleed really that horrible? Look at this video:

Skip to 14:02 mark. Disgusting for that price.

that's almost certainly just picking up IPS-glow since that's viewed from an angle and the glow is only appearing in the corners furthest away.

If it wasn't for the awful looking stand and weird back panel and the fact Asus have there premium tax I would have bought one. I went with the Acer x34A. Comes in 2 hours.
Me too.
Their design choices are SOOOOO questionable and makes me stay away from their gaming range.
Look at the designo 21:9, beautiful! so its not like asus can't do it!

Lovely! Your initial thoughts?
You hated the Asus stand yet liked the X34A's ? lol. The weird back panel not only is actually pretty neat with genius cable management built into it, good luck getting that from your Acer. I paid £948 for my PG348Q, how much was your X34A ?
It Arrived today...
Nice!
Did it not almost make you break down in tears lol, knowing you cant use the stand that comes with the monitor ?

hello.. bit of strange question here... could someone measure the full height and width of this monitor for me in inches please... I am not sure I could fit it on my desktop but I want get one badlythank you
*Literally* a 2 second Google;
Dimension with Stand(WxHxD): 829 x 558 x 297 mm
So 83cm wide
With it mounted on my Ergotron MX Desk Mount
The centre of the front of the screen is 18cm from the wall...(May be even less from the wall for you as my vertical desk & shelf brackets are stopping my Ergotron MX Desk Mount from being able to go right back to the wall)
The left/right sides of the screen are about 20.5cm from the wall..
I try take some pictures later..(Edit: Pictures now Added)

2nd PG348Q today and while no screen faults i.e dead pixels, dust etc. First panel had a piece of dust inside however this one the backlight bleed is horrid.
I shall be sending this one back, it will also be my final PG348Q. Dont want to try for another one at all.
Yes it is as bad as this in the pic.
Witcher 3 with true representation. Swamps nearly a 3rd of the screen even in a light background. Horrid.
Lovely panel, love the 21:9 aspect but this glow completely ruins my experience. The first panel I wish I kept as there was a very minor bit of glow. This one however is many times worse.
Back to my TN swift it is then

Excellent thank you! I have space behind the desk as its against a window, so I should be able to get it even further back. Photos were useful, appreciate it! Now I know what I am buying this week

Dayumm that's bad.

It is. Right hand side is pretty perfect but left hand side
. Takes up the top third of the screen.I will be returning this one for sure but I think I may try a third and final monitor.
The first one was fine bleed wise. Apart from a smudge/dirt in the screen.
Hopefully 3rd time lucky as it is a fantastic panel. Just as usual with Asus, QC on the panel lets it down.
What brightness setting is that on ?
Soldato
75 brightness. Normally for me I'd have it higher. Other monitor was on 85 and no where near as bad as this one.
The camera picked it up as blue screen. In reality it is black/ish but the bleed is still as bad as shown in the photo.
