Under the hot sun.
Does anyone have experience with those monitors? They do seem similar, with the AOC one having tad better blacks but 100hz refresh rate, and the Z35P bit better response times and 120hz refresh rate .

Price wise their difference is around £90, with the AOC been cheaper.

Thoughts?
 
Just returned a z35P. Couldn't live with the washed out colours after x34a and didn't think the contrast was anything special over an IPS. Colour shift was pretty bad also, visible shift sat right in front of it. Nice curve on it though and 35 did feel bigger than 34.

Going to wait a couple of weeks to see if there's any update on the new ultrawide coming out. If not I'll grab an aw34.

LG has a Nano-IPS 3440x1440 coming out, but we are looking March at the usual exuberant pricing at around £1000.
While the AOC for example goes for less than 800 atm.
 
I know @tyler_jrb


I'd wait the 3/4 months personally, then you'll have more options :)
However by that time I will be half way out of the country...... While the 2730Z is flickering again and is out of warranty. So need new monitor now, especially since I am on holidays the next 8 weeks. :)
 
Second-hand X34/PG348 then, you know you won't be taking a big hit when the LG is available :)

X34 is not even 100hz monitor. And given the prices of second hand, I rather spend £50 more to get the AOC which current price around is £770 and don't have to deal with BLB etc.
 
Nah I know, just run out of comments lol. Got my Asus for £600 and only a few months old, not expecting to lose much on it once I sell (mainly because monitors are just going up and up and up!!!)

For the sake of 20Hz I'd probably go for the AOC, bet you couldn't really tell the difference anyhow!!

@tyler_jrb has recently switched from the PG348Q and a Z35P and is as happy as larry with it apparantly.
 
Even though the z35p wasn't my cup of tea, I did get it new from Acer for 800 notes which I though was pretty decent. If it's the tpye of panel you like then not a bad deal tbh.

Cheers mate. After all the best the GTX1080Ti can do is around 110s at 2560x1440, 100hz monitor 3440x1440 will serve me well for as long as I keep the 1080Ti.

@tyler_jrb any feedback mate?
 
It's the perfect rez and Hz for the Ti and will last til the next Ti shows up easily! Not seen Tyler around of late tbh.
Cheers.

Seeing at OCNET, there are numerous revisions on the AOC monitor. Last one September 2017 :/
All previous one, (Feb, March, May, July) has issues with the Gsync module or colour or flickering. :/ Same applies to the Z35P.

Hmm.

Well I'm currently using an X34A now myself. Pixel died on me on my z35p so managed to get a refund from Amazon and the X34A was on sale at £800 over Black Friday so couldn't help myself really.

Kind of to tide me over to the Asus 200hz one if it's any good that is and not like £2000.

Both are great monitors and the Z35p is excellent if you get a good one.

Although it's not without its issues. It overclocks fine and does feel marginally smoother for obvious reasons (100hz vs 120hz) but it's not massive.

The extra inch is pretty nice though just makes it feel a bit taller. Something I do miss on the X34 although it's only an inch :p

The tight curve was a bit of a problem for me though. Not sure if it's just how it was made but I have tried 3 and 2 out of the 3 had noticeable screen uniformity issues and the third wasn't perfect although acceptable. Basically parts of the screen darker/lighter than others especially noticeable while scrolling.

My X34A does not have this issue.

Not to mention it had a bizarre split screen issue with a certain shade of grey/brown. Steam library menu the entire window basically has a line split down the centre and of anything with the exact same colour it does the same thing. Not sure why but once I saw it on BF1 it did put me off. Will likely be able to find the mentioned issue online.

The ghosting due to VA was pretty bad for me personally. games were fine but dark backgrounds or say scrolling down the OCUK forums would result in noticeable melt effect.

I did get a decent panel in the end which then crapped out on me. So rather than risk another I did miss IPS to be fair and went with the X34A and while it has a tiny bit of bleed and slightly lesser refresh rate.

Really enjoying it so far and none of the above issues.
 
Tyler pretty much summed up the same experience I had with z35P.....

Might slog it out till January to see if the hdr stuff is finally out.
