My money is on the X35 being first...

(I made my choice the other week, £2k+ is just too much for me)

I expect the ACER and ASUS will use the same underlying panel. Did have my on the ASUS, well seeing as its been showed for what seem like years, but that LG looks stunning combination of specs. Guess its a wait and see as to how the HDR implementation fair's on the ASUS / ACER.

More interested in the first UWQHD that has FreeSync with solid GSync compatibility @ 100+ Hz native and priced about £600. That would do me nicely.

I wanted the Acer Predator x35 but got fed up of waiting , so i purchased the Alienware AW34 . also the Acer and Asus models are going to be £2000+ , according to a Asus Rep on a youtube Video

I got very fed up with waiting and bought 2 monitors instead.

Their both the unicorns of monitor!

That is one hell of a price tag. Hoping it's cheaper stateside...

Who confirmed ? In that YouTube video?
Do you guys really think it’s worth over £2.5k? seems ridiculous

For that amount of money, it had better not have any back light bleed or stuck pixels and a lot of Quality Assurance.

I'm interested in the LG 38", or rather any monitor using the same panel, as I've got 2 Acer 38" monitors and I'm not interested in the G-Sync module bloat that might be added to the LG version.

Oh I've still got that as well. I've ended up with 3x 38 Ultrawides...

But my partner has my 38UC99 set up with her computer.

Quick update: I gave up waiting... and ended up getting the LG 34GK950F 144 Hz Ultrawide w/ FREESYNC2. It has been quite the ordeal to get a good quality monitor I will say... I ended up RMAing two Alienware AW3418DW, two 34GK950G (gsync model) and then finally landed on the 34GK950F which is fantastic. No flickering whatsoever, minimal BLB, no stupid RGB, non-overclocked 144hz, and HDR. It's fantastic and I'm happy.

Same, the F is a fantastic piece of kit and flawless with nVidia cards! :cool:
