Looking good!
Be sure to use DVI-D or display port connection with your 970!
Of course.

Question.
EDIT ----
Never mind. It changed itself to default sound output.

Its here!
A few images of it on my desk. Also tried to show its colours but pictures don't do it justice.
I am only running it on HDMI atm as my new GTX 970 isn't coming until tomorrow. So have it plugged into a GTS 240...
Can't wait to see it running with games.
Haven't noticed any light bleed either, which is a bonus.
Very happy with this monitor. Will take a while to get used to it being so wide though!
Very nice!
I still think if they changed the res to be 2560*1200, the addition to the height of the monitor would make it perfect. I felt it was lacking in height and was not 100% on it when I had it!
Just picked up an Asus PB278Q and its mint! I love it!

I am going to end up selling my 21:9 LG 29" as my 27" 1440p AOC is due for delivery tomorrow.
Looking forward to the AOC Q2770Pqu as its spec and reviews seem to tick the boxes for my needs. Hopefully it will be a keeper

Traitor!!!!!!!!
You not getting on with the 21.9 aspect ratio or something else?
I had a 27" DGM, but it got stolen, and when I bought the 29" LG it has been a great monitor for what it offers. But I never considered it an upgrade to the 27" 16:9 format and I do miss the vertical room.
It is nice to have the ultra widescreen aspect ratio and useful to have two docs or photos open side by side, that I will miss, but having had a 1400p monitor I do miss it more than I imagined I would.
It is great when I game natively supports the 21:9 ratio, without the need for fixes or patches etc.
Heck I even considered the 1600p format as I loved the 16:10 of my Samsung 22" pebble monitor. But there is no strong and affordable contender there.
So I have deliberated with the AOC in and out of my basket for too long and last night decided to just go for it. Not as easy a choice as it was to buy the MSI 970 GTX but maybe I'll be just as happy
Maybe I'll sneak this one in under my wife's radar, but I doubt that.
Either way my LG will be up for sale soon.

The AOC does seem to rise above what the others offer at its price point, along with a good warranty and a good etailer, so should work out fine.
Also I must have the worlds smallest computer desk (seriously) and whilst the 27" is really too big (24 seems ideal) the 29 ultra widescreen has forced my speakers to go behind the monitor and it almost overhangs either side..!
I would like a much larger desk set-up but that would only be possible by moving to another room, biggest issue with that is I would end up using the PC less.
A bit of a compromise really.

Probably would notice a fair bit of a difference, although personally if I had to choose, I rather have the wideness/21.9 AR over height.
I've been running my 4K @ 2560 x 1440 and it is horrible and stretched, i have 2560 x 1440 before but was a cheap korean monitor.
