Close to pulling the trigger on one of these, knowing my luck I'll get an awful panel though. I won't be able to handle noticeable BLB as my original swift has a lovely panel.

I went back to 16:9, but only because it's a damn good one and I watch a lot of TV eps

I'm loving the extra space, can be watching something in 1080p and still have room to browse net next to it or if I want full screen ala Netflix I've had to install a extension to get it to display in 21:9, happy both ways with it.

TBH if I watch TV on it,its in a window anyways. If I want full screen I will settle down in front of the TV downstairs. Its used for gaming really

Is there any news on the XR342CK which is supposed to be out this month?
I've got a bonus to blow on equipment in the next 2 weeks so hopefully it will be out or I can pick up the XR341CK on sale!

Looks like the new one has a 1900R curve instead of 3800R. Hmmm, not sure I'd go for that, could play havoc if I wanted to do some page layout or web design.
Ah, nothing worth while then really 
Hopefully the price of the current one will reduce to below £700.......
I do every now and then
Hopefully the price of the current one will reduce to below £700.......Steeper panel, different curve. Don't you follow my website? You should!

It went down to £680 before Xmas. I've been keeping an eye out but it's not been that low since.
Would people not recommend the deeper curved one then? I'm not too bothered about the curve, more the ultra wide, free sync and resolution. So might be worth sticking with the old one if there are deals to be had.
Gsync or Freesync?
Hi all, new member here.
I am in the process of building a new PC so I have not yet purchased a GPU nor a monitor.
I like this monitor a lot so considering the difference in price of the Gsync and Free-sync versions I am leaning towards AMD. - Makes quite a difference in price.
Am I right? Would I be missing-out the 100Hz refresh rate?
What's your advice?

Normally G-Sync monitors do carry around £150-£200 premium over Freesync versions making Freesync setup much better much value for money. On these panels however you can also have 100Hz instead of 75 as a bonus.
I would say buying 144Hz go red team (as it's 144 vs 144) but buying these 34" I would opt for green team as its 75 vs 100.
i have the freesync xr34 and well pleased with it, im not to fussed about 100hz tbh

WHAT?! Didn't see that deal, thought the only one that was reduced was the gsync version...

It was possibly part of the black Friday sales not on overclockers though.
I gave it a miss thinking it would regularly drop to around the same but no such luck so far.
I've got it on price alert now if it drops below 700.
Sorry if I'm being dumb...do you mean that the X34 was £680 before Christmas? If so then wow...
Decided I'm not gonig to jump in at the current prices, but keeping my eye on the prices.
Ah I see, signed up too, thought you meant ocuk originally.
Still unsure about 34" 1440 though, would look epic etc. but it is so demanding especially for a 290
