I don't own a console but I see lots of people that play on console or have children/brothers/sisters/whatever that occasionally use it on the pc and that are kinda pulled away frm this aspect ratio because they think black bars means res not supported natively. It's a bit hard to explain that the output resolution is fully included in the 21:9 so they see exactly all the pixel generated at exactly 1:1 ratio. Also, I think I saw on youtube some trailers or demo of console games played on 2560x1080 screens because the developer of the game decided to support that res natively so I'd say it depends more on the game rather than specifically on the console. For sure it won't be 3440x1440 but is there anything like "flawless widescreen" or some wsgf protip to run ps4/xbone games at 21:9?

It was a good deal,couldn't say no

Missed high hz like crazy tbh, won't be doing less than 100 again!!

I'm gonna give Acer a couple of months to get all the issues ironed out of the X34

Just bought the LG 34UC97 so will see what state the IPS glow, light bleed etc... is.

Didn't really need it especially this time of year but hey will see what it's like as currently using a ROG Swift.

I think a good sweetfx config could make a nice difference but it is a shame that it won't fix the shoddy performance.

I even prefer fallout 4 graphics tbh

I cancelled the order for the LG yesterday, too many stories about ips glow. I'm going to wait until the Samsung is back in stock and get that.

Plus i need to shift the Rog Swift, AOC 29" 21:9 monitor and a couple of others, my monitor addiction is too much.

I haven't used 34" 21.9 screens but on all the other IPS screens I have tried, IPS glow has never really been an issue with a sensible brightness setting and backlight strip imo, only an issue when on dark content and viewing the screen from an angle in my experience.

Supposedly LG has addressed the backlight bleed issues at the production line for their panels although no idea if that is true or not....

TBH, for the price of the Samsung, if I where you, I would be willing to try the acer 34" freesync screen out instead, should be better "overall" aside from blacks/contrast ratio and build/looks and I haven't actually seen many people complaining about any IPS glow & backlight bleed issues.

having owned the samsung 34 and now the acer xr34 i would pick the acer every time without a doubt

What's wrong with the AOC U3477? Unless you wanna drop some heavy money on the X34 I still suggest that one over any other.

Had my Dell U3415 for a couple of weeks now and well worth the 600 quid I paid for it. Though I looked at the Predator I could not justify the price hike for G-Sync.

 

[Sega Mega Dave]

Im going see what Friday brings, see if anything interesting for sale for Black Friday. Otherwise i may end up with the Acer Predator.

I started a new YouTube channel where I'm going to do playthroughs/walkthroughs of games in 21:9, do check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXD27SWhUUit3ILF7u-NTfw

After Zelda, I'm going to do AOE2HD: The African Kingdoms and SC2: Legacy of the Void, both on the hardest difficulties since I'm actually good at RTS games. I'll probably do commentaries on both of those games too.

I play plenty of modern AAA titles but these games are everywhere on YouTube, so unless there's ever a demand, I'm only going to do classics/older games in 21:9, or games I'm really good at.

 

[Sega Mega Dave]

SC2 doesn't support 21:9.

 

[Howling]

There are a few games that don't "support" it that you can still play in 21:9
