I have lowered brightness in Nvidia control panel to 35%, the brightness on the monitor is on 75 though.

same here i found adjusting the brightness with amd ccc better than adjusting the monitor

Mines on its way to the Edinburgh depot for a Monday delivery, I have to go to Ikea tomorrow so i may see if I can collect it while I drive past........

Unlucky lol, Its at the back of a trailer so have to wait until Monday, still plenty of units from Ikea to build for brownie points....

beautiful monitor but unfortunately my macbook can't handle anything more than 30hz at 3440x1440 :\

great.

Samsung UK sold a batch last Thursday for list price - Skarpanis clocked a nifty 15% off coupon (now expired) that you could apply on their site = £670 (thanks!). I doubt very much you'll be seeing a deal like that anytime soon. (will delete this if against the rules)

@eggcup - why are you using that method??

Damn that was cheap

For anyone looking to save a few quid I notice OCUK have several on B Grade for £660

Personally, with a monitor this expensive I'd want more than 90 days warranty but some might prefer the saving.

Bet they were sent back for "ghosting" and or poor picture quality lol.

Quick question: how is video playback for the rest of you Samsung owners?

Nexus18 · 21 Feb 2015 at 20:15

So tempted by this, I just want official figures on the response time! Love my 29um65 but want better blacks/contrast ratio, 3440x1440 res. and much better motion clarity.

Also having the same thoughts about 21.9 g/free sync 1440, I think it will be quite a while until we see one for <£900....

Everything and everyone is pointing this monitor in the right direction and praising the low imput lag etc a lot so for being a va it sure is nice

And this one that's been posted up earlier: http://4k-monitor.ru/news/rasshirya...ie_izognutogo_3_5k_monitora_samsung_s34e790c/

Input lag seems very good and ingameI'd say it feels that way too:

LG전자 시네뷰 34UM95: 8.3
Samsung S34E790C: 2.9

I'm more worried about excessive screen tearing without v-ysnc on. What are your observations?

Booner! · 22 Feb 2015 at 13:03

Okay I've decided to get one. Anyone used an HMDI input for the Xbox One on this screen? Would you get bars when gaming? Would you get full screen when watching bluray through the Xbox one on it?

Nexus18 · 22 Feb 2015 at 13:15

I am going to hold out for TFTcentral and/or pcmonitors.info reviews before doing anything.

Also going to wait for it to be £700 or less first... which I suspect will happen given the price of the LG 34um95 reduced drastically after a few months.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuUjqhXcR4k watch review please first if you like not forget you will see and read comments what people think about

Nexus18 · 22 Feb 2015 at 13:57

Already seen that and it does look and sound amazing

I just want to see official numbers on the response time by TFT central first as it is something that I am extremely sensitive to and the main thing I want to be an upgrade over my 29um65.

BTW what is the screen coating like compared to the 29UM65?

edit:

you going to get one matson?
