** POTENTIALLY THE BEST GAMING MONITORS YET!! ** Acer 34" Ultra-wides

Nvidia feeling a need to justify a £150 price difference by basically falsely advertising the Nvidia version as also 'faster' without informing the users clearly and upfront that to do so would be overclocking?

Eh..

G-Sync modules tend to cost around £100-150, so that's what the price difference is down to, not the refresh rate.
 
I really want to be wrong about this monitor, PLEASE BE GOOD, PLEASE BE GOOD!!

The pessimist in me can see this being a complete mare for those that are brave enough to take the plunge, thank you early adopters for you bravery and deep pockets ;)
 
My thoughts exactly.

I've been following this monitor for months, it'd be rubbish if it sucks!

EDIT: Just read this review on another forum, excitement levels rising again...

Pro:

- all in all, it is great!
- G-Sync works perfectly smooth
- I run it at 100hz at desktop and with 100hz G-Sync in games. 100hz is enough.
- There are no input lags
- I set the overdrive to "normal", which is very good
- the colors and the IPS panel looks stunning
- 34" fits perfect within my sim racing rig
- I love the ambient light, but i wonder how to set it more bright > slider is not active in the menu

Cons:

- I did not like the handling with the buttons on the screen
- The curved screen could be more curved at this size

Yup, I went from completely flat on the monitor to excited again! I think we might see more and more creep out today, seems like they're slowly making their way to consumer hands.

Can confirm. Found out through this thread only.

Really, I'm in two minds about this now, and I'm hoping that Badass provides a little information later on today!

On the one hand, the delay is a real PITA as I currently am stuck with my laptop being my only system. On the other hand, if I cancel my pre-order, I'm left with no other decent choices - Asus don't have any competing models, leaving the only alternative as the shiny-plastic-fantastic, problematic XB270HU.

This is a sector of perpetual disappointment. Here's hoping that it's actually all it's cracked up to be, even if overclocking is required. Drojman's post enthuses me a little more.

Should have the X34 with me tomorrow or Monday so a review over the next couple of weeks as soon as I can. Def keen to test this 100Hz business :)

Sweet! Can't wait to read. I am curious as to the motion clarity of 100 Hz on this panel. I'm still not convinced it's all that great being based on that slow 60 Hz LG IPS.

I also find it odd that this screen doesn't have ULMB but according to Asus their PG348Q version does. It would be interesting to see how well the strobing works with a slower panel overclocked to 100 Hz.
 
I'll have one with me in the next few days hopefully.

I currently have a 34UC97 (which aside from some BLB has been a great panel for me) so I have a nice comparison point.

I'm no professional review in any shape or form, but I can hopefully at least lend some thoughts to the monitor too.
