What would the X34 be like compared to my LG 34UC97-P (3-4 years old)? I would gain 40 hz minimum and G Sync. Would it be worth the cost of an upgrade?

The LG is 60Hz right? The new X34P is a 120Hz monitor.

Yes. I thought it's 100Hz but OCs to 120Hz?

Correct

 

[ChrisD.]

Correct

Do you have to do anything to get it to run at 120Hz or just it automatically happen?

Not sure how exactly its on Acer, but on Alienware you simply togle setting between 100-120Hz in 5Hz increments (each change restart/power cycle monitor).

Is 120Hz guaranteed? Can you claim under warranty if 120Hz fails?

anything over native 100Hz is not guaranteed, however I did not read single post about any LG 100Hz pannel not being able to reach it.
Those are 100Hz native which is big difference from old panels which were actually 60Hz and being overclocked to 100Hz.

I've just set up the Alienware along with a 1080ti. It has overclocked to 120Hz no problems as xrodney advised. Just getting used to the upgrade from 27 inches as I type. Build quality is good as everyone has stated before and possibly a small amount of backlight bleed in the extremities of the lower two corners. Overally happy so far

It's mental the distribution or lack thereof of this monitor from the multinational DELL. Someone should be fired somewhere along the line.

Have a class-conscious product with a firm 6 months or more advantage over the competition that is simply not capitalised on is a farce.

Well, looking at other ultra wides, with the huge BLB problem that affects nearly all in some way. I'd take slow shipping knowing that they come out better. My AW is perfect. Id rather have that with less stock, than lots of stock and mountains of monitors with BLB issues. They cant win.

Yep 100% the DW. They're selling the HW version for 588 at the moment pre-chat discount.

I think you must have a gift! Mega price reduction.

Just tried but didn't mention the low price of the x34p and was offered £1060, hopefully better luck next time.

GL Dell wed site says 6 weeks plus for it to get back in stock.

Yeah because there are so many of us still waiting after 7-8 weeks!

 

[clone]

It's mad why can't they get the stock? I've got just under a month till I get the cash for one.

 

[a.tunnard]

LG could be limiting supply hoping to maximize sale when they release their competitor?
