- The on-site service will only be available in the country where the AA Extension was purchased.

I will definitely jump on the band wagon for a 3yr next day swapout. For £25 on a £950 monitor. Makes sense to me.

ok ive just had a check, went to the monitor settings and turn refresh num on and its showing 75hz in windows and gaming, I have mine in user mode if that helps

Cheers man

runs fine in game @ 75 but as soon as i minimize the client it lowers to 30, this has only started occurring since i dl'ed the new version of AMD control centre so its must be directly linked to it

with Freesync off it runs consistently @ 75hz

Thanks for this, I'm def gonna get one of them. Probably the 3yr on-site w/Exchange

not worth it for you, you cant keep a monitor 3 weeks let alone 3 years

Hi guys!

I've found this:

Considering the 5 front buttons, with the first on the left as number 1, digit the combination 5,5,4,4,2,3,5 and you'll see your monitor data.

Mine is this:

Does anyone know what Burn In means? It sets on No by default.

Doubt it means much to be honest.

The gsync module version is interesting though. Does this mean they are using newer/updated gsync modules in the newer monitors?

spluff · 30 Nov 2015 at 16:46

how do you show that menu

Probably yes. I red something about the ACER XB270HU.

5,5,4,4,2,3,5

1 is far left, power is button 6.

I know I've been pretty bad this last 12 months, but I had my ZR30w for 2.5yrs so it can be done

Hi,

Just thought I would update you guys, so I went to OcUK physical store on Sat to collect my X34 after ordering on the phone and surprise surprise, the system screwed up and even though I was told it was allocated, well.. it wasn't and I had nothing to collect. As a consolation OcUK are DPD'ing it free when the next batch is due in (today). Slightly annoyed but I did go there half expecting this given black Friday.

Was also told by store staff that collecting from store does void DSR rights so having it sent to me brings me back into DSR.

Hopefully will arrive soon

Mine says

gsync 0264

OSD Ver 3.3

newer than mine.

date of purchase? and do you have any issues?

spluff · 30 Nov 2015 at 17:43

just got it yesterday

only thing which is starting to annoy me is the coil whine on a bright screen

its quite noticeable now

Metalface Mark · 30 Nov 2015 at 20:35

dont have any whine on my screen spluff, that would drive me nuts (having been plagued with a few graphics cards recently with whine)

spluff · 30 Nov 2015 at 21:53

only when most the screen is white - so not really a problem at the moment anyway
