Not sure I can link to a competitor...google it and select the shopping option instead of web. Should find it in the list mid-way down...

What did you google? I put in LG 34" and nothing of value, I put in UM95 and again, nothing.

Ah this seems to be a UM65 model which is only 1080p.... Still the rainforest have the UM95 model up on their US site for $1500

that's the 34um65, 2560x1080
I've got an older 29ea73p at work, great monitor. Takes a while to get used to just how wide 21:9 is.

As I have 1440P 27" at the moment I'd have to get another with at least 1440 vertical lines or 1200 at a push to be viable.

Wondering if I should cancel the 1440p 27" 16:9 in favour of this... If it comes below £700 then it'd be worth a consideration!

If it's 1500usd then it won't be anywhere near this.
Well, the 34UM65 details appear to now be surfacing, and pricing is looking to be around £500 to £550.
Some will be disappointed to see that this is a 2560x1080 screen, but personally I think that works in it's favour as a gaming screen - far easier to drive without massively expensive GPU setups.
But if this screen is £500+, I can only imagine it's bigger brother, the 34UM95 3440x1440 will cost more like £800+
The 34um65 kind of makes decision making hard for me. Go with slightly wider, but still large screen, or get triple setup again....
Oh, PS: Apparently out around the 25th or so - I'd have to dig through emails to confirm though.

That's for the 34UM95 and I feel that ~£800-£850 is a reasonable estimate when it arrives here in the UK.

I'm sure when other manufacturers launch their models, so there is competition, we'll see prices come down. The current 29" models for example started out at around £600 and now they are available for half that.

The UM95 looks really appealing, huge screen and resolution and should produce a beautiful image whilst being incredibly practical. Gaming could be an issue, but by the time these are mainstream enough for me to justify the cost, gpu hardware should have developed too.
I'll be looking at screens like these in 6 months or so I think. Don't really want to pay an early adopter premium.

I wouldn't worry if it's mostly for gaming.
Sure, the 3 x screens will take up more room, but that extra width you get is just brilliant for certain games.
I was unsure what to go with, between triple screens, the 2560x1080 34um65 and the 34um95, but I just ordered triple monitor stand and 2 extra 27 inch screens yesterday.
Now, my previous experience with triple screens is 3 x 23, which was lovely, and 3 x 27 might be a bit much, but I won't know til I try. Just didn't want to replace my current Asus screen, cause I love it.
