I made a bunch of screenshots but there is always the hud to clutter the place. That'd be really awesome if there was a way to toggle it off. There are some exceptions, mostly cut scenes though

Would agree with this. I have both the Samsung and the aoc and tbh they are both brilliant. No reason not to grab the cheaper one. Mine has no ips glow or backlight bleed, but I am sure many others have....just the chance you take. Hell some people with the Samsung had colour banding across the screen and colour shift at the edges....there will always be se that aren't perfect, just gotta cross your fingers and make your order

SWBF is one of those games that really really makes you smug about your 21:9 monitor.
So, since screenshots are horrible as wallpapers but walkers are too cool anyway and since you liked those sort-of-wallpapers... here they are, more wallpapers and a bunch of screenshots
In case you're not familiar with imgur's name format for thumbnails, to get them fullsized just copy&paste the image url and remove the final "l" (elle) from the name.

I had to send my S34E790C for repair as it was making a buzzing noise during standby that's become pretty loud. It's going to take 7-10 days apparently.
I am now using a 21" 1080p panel. The pain is unbearable. I don't know what to do with myself.

I've just got on the bandwagon with the LG 34" '65' monitor, I know its one of the cheaper ones, and only 1080P, but I really like it. My GTX760 just about copes with FC4 with high settings and its very immersive. Can't wait to try Project Cars later with my G27 setup. Coming from a 1080P 27" monitor the pixel count doesn't bother me too much at this stage but its much more involving for games and split screen view on the desktop is so much better than 16:9. I would really have liked a 1440P predator but at this point the £950ish + £300ish for a new graphics card was just a little too much to swallow, but this should keep me going for the next year or two until these things really mature and fall in price. Great buy, well happy.
Updated the OP with a new 21.9 monitor added to the list (acer 35" gsync 200HZ 1080P screen)
AOC will be bringing a version of the 35" VA curved 144HZ 1080P screen with freesync
AOC C3583FQ with 35” 144Hz curved VA plus FreeSync
Here's hoping with display port 1.3 and new GPU's coming this year that we will see some new exciting 3440x1440 displays...

1080P at 35".... :/ Gsync 200Hz or not, it's going to look arse.

Not at all true, some games inc. SWBF which aren't stretched to widescreen still look stunning in 2560x1080 (ok, I only have 34"), and I have a swift to compare it with. Have you seen 2560x1080?
Man of Honour
Yes I own a 34" 34um95p and have played games at 2560x1080. Most games look fine, some look jagged even with fsaa. It's the desktop at that res that looks crap though. At that screen size it just doesn't feel right. It should be 3440x1440 native or greater at this size.
I've also owned 29" Ultra-wide and 2560x1080 is much crisper at that screen size.

Yeah, I'm on the XR34 and the resolution is *just* acceptable at this size (maybe because I came from 4k?). I can't imagine it being bigger and at lower res :S
LG 34UC98 curved FreeSync UltraWide
34" 3440x1440 with freesync, supposedly the range is 48-75HZ though.... I'm guessing LG have skimped on the scaler as the acer x34 supports 30/35-75HZ.

With 'Low Frame Rate Compensation' that AMD have included in the drivers, the lower bound may not matter quite so much. In theory, that is. I haven't actually tested this, but if it works like Nvidia G-SYNC below the physical hardware floor then it should be quite decent at smoothing out the experience.
