Well true. But is superwide/curved worth it I thought it was just a fad.
A new AOC superwide curved Gsync monitor.

To each their own. I feel the same about HDR, but then I don't really care about it. I'm certainly not going to rush out and buy a monitor for HDR, and it sounds like you're of the same posture towards superwide/curved. For me, Gsync is the priority due to style of FPS I play and 21:9 lends itself to my flight simming very well. As I keep moaning on, screens with these features are a premium

Yeah that's the biggest drawback of these curved/superwide monitor they cost too bloody much. Rather experience 4k on a regular flat 16:9 monitor.
Perhaps, but then 4k is quite a step from 3440x1440p again. Not as much as 2560x1080p to 1440p granted, but still. I'm waiting for prices to drop and I'd rather get the 1440p super wide. I can always run more demanding titles at 1080p upscaled on the monitor.

Don't have a superwide but I can see it being worthwhile, go on youtube. But you'll need to get a huge screen, as 29" UW is small, it's actually smaller than my 24" 16:10 in height.
I'm looking at a new screen but nothing really exists, or it does it's £1000. Either choose 27" 1440P 144hz, 29" UW 75hz, 34" UW 1080p 144hz, 34" UW 1440P 75hz.
You do know about the other AOC super wide that's coming out this month (allegedly). Gsync, 1440p 21:9, 35", £799. I thought there was a lot more choice for freesync however, could be wrong.

tbh I think 34/35" is a bit big, it means getting rid of my £1000 speakers and going to £50 ones (still fine but obviously...
As for freesync there's the 34" LG and Acer 34". But 75hz though. Even though my GPU isn't able to do 1440p 100fps for games, it would be nice to have it for long term use...in 5 years GPU's should easily do 100fps at native.
I guess so, but they won't handle titles from 5 years time at said fps. Go back 5 years and play a main title from then on current a GPU and see how your rig handles. Might give you an inclination of whether future card will handle today's games at 100fps+. Either way, if today's hardware can't run today's leading titles at high settings AND FPS, I can't see the future's equivalent doing so, not in 5 years anyway,unless there's some amazing breakthrough ha.

Well I don't have a UW 1440P screen, so anyone with a 480 and that display try those games?

Can't for the life of me find any info on this monitors release date other than "march". It's annoying as I want to purchase a 1440p ultrawide monitor and if this comes in at £799 then it will surely force Acer and ASUS to re-evaluate their own pricing.
Exactly what I'm hoping. I'd really love the Acer or Asus, but they'd need to drop their prices 25-30% for me to hit buy.
Defo. Especially considering the paint came off when he pulled a sticker and the height adjustment keeps dropping! Sort those amd make it 800 quid then it's more tempting. Otherwise x34a all the way imo.
I just want to see a proper review of the panel before hitting the buy button.

I think at this rate I might just hold out for Vega and go for a substantially cheaper freesync ultra wide. Just seen the Acer XR34 1440P IPS ultra wide for £600, just need an AMD GPU capable of running that res at 75hz+ and save a small fortune over G-sync
