350 puts you too close to other proven quality monitors

Curious what is close to £350 for a 1440p superwide?

I got one at £220 and trying to decide whether to return as I have some flickering, although it is when using a hackintosh install, at the moment Windows is ok. I also have 3 dead pixels but they are all located to the side.

The money being asked these days is laughable. The Iiyama XUB3490WQSU could be tempting but it is OOS here and over £100 more elsewhere.
 
They will be using B grade panels etc. so they can assemble cheap monitors so the quality will vary much more than a "branded" monitor. At least with some of the other companies I can't mention did sometimes offer a service for an extra fee to check the monitor before shipping for obvious defects like dead pixels, dust & insect on the inside of the glass :)
 
no probs with mine so far - for 300 I'd just keep returning it until I got a decent one (luckily first one was ok!)

Reminds me of my old 27" Yamakasi lol - now THAT was a gamble lol. none of that customs crap to go through this time too! :)
 
so anyone have anymore joy with this?
I've started to get the red tinting around the curve on white pages too but I ain't touched the settings for ages.

Got my Ryzen system up and running with its AMD 550 graphics card - plugged that in via DP. All looked ok - except I noticed in AMD settings it said NOT SUPPORTED for freesync - its probably too big a ask lol.

Shocking monitor lol talk about a lottery
 
helps if I enabled Freesync in the monitor settings first.

Overall I'm still quite satisfied with this monitor for the price - I wouldn't recommend it for photoshop etc editing.

Besides - All panels these days are a lottery! - gunna stick with this one for now
 
I’ve just bought one of these from a uk retailer and I’m well happy with it, ultrawide with 100htz for that money. It’s a bargain.

If anyone insterested Lenovo Y27g 27 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor 65C1GAC1UK - VA Panel - 1080p - 144hz Gync at £209 seems to be a good deal too...
 
Just signed up to say thanks to above peep who posted about the Lenovo Y27g, I actually got the Lenovo Y27g RE (Razor) model due to his post and saved about £2-300ish going by its price not so long ago and on some sites still.

I am not going to be very active but just wanted to say as far as LCD goes it not too bad (VA Panel) and I have had the original £600 Asus Rog Gsync TN (horrid) and do not get on with black/contrast ratios on IPS panels as well as glow etc.

The 1080p is a little blocky in some things but I had opposite with the 1440p in that some things were too small and scaling ruined some things, AFAIK Windows 10 with its promises of better scaling is no better than previous OS's (think it was Win8/8.1 timescale on the Asus ROG).

I am not a fan of curves but its not too bad and if anyone has any questions please ask me as this will be a fill gap till proper OLED appear (Dell's 1st OLED was pulled due to issues after a few sales) and the soon to be released high end ASUS ROGS etc. will still be LCD/IPS screens with HDR and higher HZ so still same shortfalls all LCD's have.

Over a good TN, a good VA and a good IPS I would take the VA any day for my uses.

It is very hard to get used to after high end CRT's and Plasma (I use a Pioneer Kuro LX5090 every day in living room+Nvidia Shield) and I was trying to hold out after many LCD returns both TV and monitors but at this price its fine though if it was poor quality I would not use it even if cost £100.
