Nope it could be a while because LG did a few adjustments on thier own version and Dell announced thier version ages ago and still nothing has appeared. Stock is just starting to filter in i think of the updated LG so i would not be suprised if AOC was 2-3 months off.

Dam was hoping it was anytime soon to compete with the lg 34um95-p

Does it feature Thunderbold and hardware LUT calibration?

Nope, and amongst other things that keeps the cost down considerably.

Whelp. Going for the LG still then. Thunderbolt alone is a big seller for me and my system.

kullymontana · 17 Jun 2014 at 23:08

Well I can't see me using a Mac so thunderbolt is not a issue for me at all .

Will it have freesync?
First 3440x1440 that has freesync has got me sold.

Ayahuasca · 18 Jun 2014 at 00:21

Doubt it Martini but we can hope!

Martini1991 · 18 Jun 2014 at 00:22

Releasing September without Freesync's a bit meh to be honest.
At this rate Freesync will be a 2015 tech.

i don't know what you're talking about, but freesync is supposed to be a software solution from AMD. i fail to see how that is relevant here.

i think you meant G-SYNC, which is the hardware solution exclusive to nvidia cards, as of this moment.

rare · 18 Jun 2014 at 07:22

I don't think its a pure software solution. The displays have to be compatible with it as well.

The specifications for the LV343HUPX which this model is based on don't specify the DP version which would have to be DP 1.2a. Regardless AOC Europe are still finalising their specification so may not have decided on that yet. Whatever they choose it will be designed to keep costs as low as possible without compromising on the core experience for most users. And no I don't work for them even though that sounded like marketing speak.

Needs DP 1.2A and to be compatible, so it's pretty relevant

As much as AMD do talk some crap, I can't imagine DP 1.2A standard increasing the cost very much in terms of manufacturing?

It does if manufacturers have stocked up on usual DP 1.2 controllers.

The problem with DP 1.2a is it isn't really 'standard' at all at the moment. It's more of a niche thing used by some manufacturers (notably Dell) at the moment but should be much more widespread in the future. DP 1.3 isn't exactly miles off either, though.

Hi,

Who would I get in touch with to enquire about review samples, especially in relation to directly comparing against the 34UM95 from LG?

:cool:

You make a very valid point.

That does make things frustrating. AMD's aiming for models to launch in about 3-6 months I believe? I could be wrong. And as much as AMD are aiming for it, that doesn't mean they command monitor manufacturers.

I wonder if the AOC rep can put this to rest?
