** POTENTIALLY THE BEST GAMING MONITORS YET!! **

Either way you're still protected by the distance selling regulations, dead pixels are a non-issue.

Being on a 32" 16:9, I want something more than 34" or it will actually look smaller.
 
I like the panel itself but the bezel and stand aren't doing it for me, will wait for Asus alternatives before buying my first superwide display.

I'm a Dell monitor fanboy :o

This looks like a great screen but would want that Dell warranty on it at this price.

PC monitors keep getting nicer and nicer, waiting on a good dell 27" 4K slim bezel monitor before making the jump, would love to try something like this but think would be to big for me in reality to use 24/7.
 
Looks amazing. However my next build will be for 4K and I'd love this monitor but at that res. not fussed about the 144hz thing so 4k in that size with GSYNC would be lovely.
 
Wouldn't touch it with a very long barge pole. Acer is garbage. . . . And no OCUK didn't sort out any of the ips screen issues when it all went Pete tong after the empty promises OCUK went silent as usual. Evidence is in the Acer thread in monitors.

Roll up roll up who Is first for the £1000 pound lottery the first 250 come free with a rubber chicken.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend touching a monitor from a brand that doesn't have a good warranty.

OcUK won't help people having issues with LG monitors (see the thread in the Monitors forum) after the initial 28 days and the warranty is not "on-site" as advertised, so I'd hate to think what the Acer one would be like if you have any issues.
 
Honestly. All I need is a 1080 version of this monitor and I'm set.... or maybe I just splurge and 1440p will be 1080p in a few years.

I think it might take a few years though to get the same frames at 1440 as current gen cards do on 1080 right now. Price will have come down by then too.

Did I just talk myself out of it?

Why has purchasing monitor these days becomes what feels like purchasing organs from the black market? :(
 
I'm not sure, but it seems that as monitors have started becoming more and more expensive (I paid £800 for the LG 34UM95-P) the level of support/warranty/customer service has gone downhill.

Maybe it's to do with the relative cost of couriers collecting/delivering items of this size vs the levels of support/service you get with (for example) a £700 graphics card or an £800 processor which are smaller items.

Either way it's fairly disappointing that OcUK don't stand behind the monitors that they sell in the same way they do for other components.

It's a problem that's been snowballing since LCD panels started to take over from CRT. A 640x480 screen had 307,200 pixels, a 4K screen has 8,294,400, a 2600% increase, that means the chances of a faulty pixel (which was annoying in the first place) has gone up 27 times since the industry originally "decided" that it didn't really count as a fault product.

It's rubbish really, if a GPU had a couple of faulty shaders then they couldn't claim it wasn't broken enough to warrant replacing. If a RAM stick had a fault with a certain address range they wouldn't claim it wasn't broken enough to warrant replacing.
 
What makes it more ludicrous is if a monitor manufacturer released a decent reliable screen backed up by worthy warranty they would clean up.

Indeed, if somebody started selling monitors with a guarantee of no faulty pixels on delivery or even better a guarantee of no pixel faults throughout the warranty then I would buy that screen in preference over a competitor's, hell I would probably pay a premium for the service if it existed.
