ElectriQ 34" 2K Quad HD Freesync Curved Gaming Monitor - £219.97

I bought one for £315, unfortunately didn't catch the super cheap price.

I wanted a 3440x1440 monitor to work on only, hopefully the angles are good being a VA panel.

I still think £315 is cheap for this resolution. I'll let you know how it is.

Hopefully panel is good, there is an "Overdrive" menu in OSD, let us know how u get on with that xD
 
just got mine - will post up pics in a mo. Not bad for the price at all - I paid 300 for it and still think its well worth it.

Out of the box is looks a bit wishy washy with the colours - I'll hopefully get more time to test later tonight when it gets darker so I can check for backlight bleed etc.

Thankfully the supplier is only a 2 minute drive away - anything goes wrong, it goes back :)

EDIT: Sorry OCuk - at this price I couldn't resist. Nevermind, you got my business for my PC though! (whoops there goes a grand).
 
Exciting picture of the box:

Stand has to be assembled (6 screws).

I've not got my new PC yet (due tomorrow hopefully) so currently testing on my works laptop (Dell E57xx).

Worth it just for the screen estate alone - We're looking at about 600+ for curved 32" 3480x1440 monitors aren't we?


ARRGGGHHH! - Photobucket not allowing hosting anymore wtf!
 
The colours are pretty uniform (to my untrained naked eye!), is there any sort of testing programme I can run with my cruddy laptop?
Got a Ryzen 7 system with a 550 turning up tomorrow so should be able to test freesync etc then.
 
on it ta.

Using these settings as recommended elsewhere:
Backlight: 15
Brightness: 41
Contrast: 50
Sharpness: 2
Gamma: Off
Temperature: 6500
Color Effect: Movie (not sure this makes any difference, think it's just a preset)
Overdrive: On
OD Gain: 70
DCR: Off
 
zomg - spazzed out my eyes running them tests!

No dead pixels, and colours seem ok to me
Them settings above make the world of difference - goes from wishy washy colours to much more accurate ones.

Surprised how easy it is to adjust to curved screens - never liked em on TV's but seems very natural on a PC Monitor probably due to how close we sit to them as opposed to TVs

Well mines up and running. Really impressed.

No back light bleed, uniformity of backlight is great until the last couple of mms each side which look pretty dim.

Colours I've not quite got right yet. Used the above settings but found changing the colour effect to movie crushes the blacks badly, feels like dynamic contrast is enabled when you select that.

The side 1/4s of the screen have a reddish tinge to them on an all white screen, will see if I can tweak that away. That's the only downside so far. I don't think I'll be doing photo editing on it, but great for gaming.

Running at 85hz happily.
