AW3418DW on GREAT sale just in USA. In UK everywhere it cost <1000£. 100£ less than 34gk950g. Im still waiting for LG, but in the mean time thinking to order acer x34p and then compare with LG. acer x34p cost just 650£ at the moment. Is acer x34p & AW3418DW have same panels?
I think they do from what I've read, but worth double-checking it this is something you want a reliable source on.
The AW is horribly expensive here in the UK and I didn't see any movement on it over Black Friday, whilst the X34P dipped to well below £700 in several places.
From what I've read, the build quality, quality control and warranty are better with the AW, but the X34P benefits from having OSD-adjustable gamma and I think it also supports 10-bit colour (8bit+FRC) whereas the Dell doesn't (I'm not 100% on this, but it is something I've seen stated in a few places).
Personally, I like having as much flexibility in the OSD as possible since you never know if you'll get a monitor with poorly calibrated gamma and colours from the factory. Not being able to adjust gamma in the OSD seems a bit of a negative to me (though I am very far from being an expert on monitor calibration!).
