Seems a shame about the poor quality/bad service as the reviews seem amazing.

Gibbo added this feature for the Asus Rog Swift, with a 28 day swap on it. Wonder if he would do the same as this is just a prestigious in price and specs.
That would be awesome!

Go to first new post ACER Monitors - my warranty hell and why you should NOT buy one (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 4 5)
Well that don't bode well, considering its the first screen that ticks all them boxes (accept 4K) and the price tag would demand perfection in no less then a British humph.

IPS is good but overrated, VA has better contrast and blacks.
I'd buy a 34 inch VA panel 21:9 3440x1440 120hz, if it existed
That would be the dream and a little brother 2560x1080 29 inch but otherwise same specs. Since this is not coming anytime soon if ever i think i might as well just get the Eizo Foris 120hz VA panel for my FPS gaming and keep my AOC q2963pm 21:9 for RPGs and other similar immersive settings.

It is in the US and they are reporting loads of dead pixels on some of them, like 14-19.
This monitor not out yet..
It's available direct from Acer in the US, and in some places EU, and Asia.
So many bad stories on other sites about Dead Pixels galore, and Acer only see it faulty with at least 16 of them.
Guess this monitor is off my list.

O dear, well if one can get one without any pixel issues, this monitor should be fantastic, i had the asus rog but couldn't get used to the vertical noise that was apparent when turning sideways in games.
I have looked and I can't see where this is for sale anywhere in the world with any stocks. So not sure where all the bad experience is coming form this EXACT model?
Found one EU version of a site that has 3 good reviews of this montior (in German)
Regardless still worth a shot, my QNIX is a little motion blurry...

Assume if you get one with dead pixels on delivery you can just instantly return it.

Well it is within your 14 day distance selling rules isn't it.

Look earlier in this thread for the oc.net link to the people in US who have bought it.
B*** B** was one of the places mentioned. Its on the Acer US store too.

you can return it under your 14 day OCUK service. Doesn't matter whether its a dead pixel or you don't want it as long as its in pristine condition.
After that you are subject to the OCUK/Manufacturers policy on dead pixels which varies.

Yeah looking at Acer policy it seems you can have 16 dead pixels!
When sending a screen back to them, do OcUK pay the cost or would we have send it back to them out of our own pocket?
Isn't sending a screen quite expensive depending on the courier delivery service used?
What would be the recommended courier delivery service to use that is not too expensive and reliable?

And perhaps most importantly fully insured which they aren't with most couriers.
UPS will be around £10 and it's pretty reliable. There are cheaper ones too.

That is a lot of pixel issues. It's like buying a nice new black car and it comes with 16 stone chips on the front bumper. Classy
