I have a Dell U34 in my studio (Curved)
I have an Acer X34 for my Video Editing Gaming PC ( Curved )

Before I got the Dell U34 I briefly had an AOC superwide 34..This had no curve...It was horrible without the curve....Went Back to the shop.

The curve is subtle and because you are sitting so close to it it works...

A Curved TV is pointless...We sit much further away so any so its not needed...

I guarantee you will love the X34...

My X34 is the best PC hardware purchase of mt Career...Love it....Beats any GFX purchase a billion times over...It wonderful to game on...Its wonderful to Video edit on, its wonderful to surf the net on with multiple tabs open...

Mine rund flawlessy at 100hz and with with a 1080ti it would be sublime....

Oh dear I'm taking myself into buying a GTX 1080 ti

I'll take an update picture later for you...I now have speakers and stuff added...

Yer, that looks a nice setup. The curve isn't as big as I was expecting in truth.

Good choice, I was actually surprised you was going for a 1080Ti before going for a new monitor myself. The 1080Ti will go very well with one of those monitors. You will have best of both worlds assuming your TV is nearby your PC. Can play certain games on your LG 4K OLED also when you want. I do this with my 1080p plasma. Some games I just play on that with a 360 controller, like Street Fighter V.

Did you ever get to hook your PC up to your TV? How was it? In your position I would have loved to have played Resident Evil 7 on that juicy 4K HDR OLED

@easyrider - You know you will end up getting the 1080Ti in the end

Yer I did but whilst the IQ was great, the input lag not so. Only played for a day though before putting my PC back but nice deep blacks and vibrant colours.

Any ideas when the 11 series will hit?

The rumour mill is suggesting 2018 but that is rumours.

Probably, what I would love is a vendor to start doing a 'watercooling enthusiast PCB only' version. I know you can get it hydro blocked or Seahawk but it's 1. Way to long before they land and 2. Overpriced.

I'd love to pick up the WC only version say £50 less and not have to remove the cooler and put it in a drawer forever. Whoever did that would have my money.

Which desk is it? I may be due a new desk soon, might consider it

@easyrider - Take a picture of the full desk if you plan on showing us more pics

sure,

TNA said:
Thanks Griffildur

np. I have to say, lately I've been toying with the idea of building my own desk, exactly as i want it. I've watched youtube quite a bit looking at how others do it. It's a bit of work but the results are stunning.
Oh and sorry for the slight redirection of the thread ...

smogsy · 5 Mar 2017 at 12:39

i made a desk a few years back was crazy (believe it was 3M long) 3 computers + all A/V sexyness

I have the exact same desk in my studio...That had two screens on...ditched them for a Dell Superwide...

Ikea cocked up the order and sent me two...when I rang them they told me just to keep it for free

That is my thought to. But if in the end I do not go through with it, the ikea desk is a good backup plan.

Thought the FE would be dearer than the custom models, like the 1080s were ?

Just ditch the stand...My satnd on the X34 never left the box...Same on the Asus superwides look crap on stands.

My desk is 955mm wide and this monitor is 825mm. Doesn't leave room for speakers but still might be possible...

Thats a shame.

Griffildur · 5 Mar 2017 at 17:50

easy, stop encouraging people like this, report them when they're rude and move on. Once they grow up they'll realise not everyone works for £3 / hour.

Mean Mr Mustard · 5 Mar 2017 at 18:07

Not going to spend more than £699. Clown edition (if it's a decent amount cheaper, and I don't have to wait like 2 months for it) and water block.

Panos · 5 Mar 2017 at 20:57

Guys,

asked before but didn't got definite answer.
Does EVGA voids the warranty if the stock cooler is replaced with waterblock? Could I use such card later using the upgrade scheme?
(And I do refer for the 1080ti in this case)
