Samsung LS34E790C - Curved 34" 21:9 super-wide

Sweey · 6 Jan 2015 at 17:45

I'm holding off until reviews - particularly from PCM2 :>

Well the other online retailer has amended their ETA to just "available to pre-order" now, having previously shown as today. Although OC still says 16/01/14, I'm not getting a good vibe that OC are going to be able to deliver to this, especially as PCM2 doesn't expect a review sample until Feb.

Body parts crossed again for next Friday! :confused:

It looks like it's becoming the standard to announce a product release at a certain fixed point and then to not deliver. I'm not sure it always was like that, maybe it does genreate clicks in the internet and this is good for advertising, I just can't figure out any better reason. For sure if I do that at my job I lose it pretty fast.

So we still on for the 16th?....is that the time they arrive at ocuk....how long after that before they get shipped? :confused:

slade · 12 Jan 2015 at 11:17

Give me 38" and Free/G-Sync and ill buy one!

Hypnowhirl · 14 Jan 2015 at 17:38

Is the 16th still a thing or has the shipment been delayed again?

Thanks

Adam608 · 15 Jan 2015 at 19:46

Trying to keep a positive attitude and faith in the ETA of tomorrow on my order....

Any official comments from OC staff on expect actions of stock?

Hypnowhirl · 16 Jan 2015 at 15:49

Any updates?

Adam608 · 16 Jan 2015 at 16:02

I've posted on the order enquiry forum and been told they are still expected today - and even if delayed should only be a day or so at most...

Adam608 · 16 Jan 2015 at 17:12

ETA is now showing as "Overdue"

I'm taking that as a positive confirmation as per the above that they are just delayed a day or so....

Hypnowhirl · 16 Jan 2015 at 19:25

Well here's to hoping

ya mother · 16 Jan 2015 at 19:26

Looks like the other seller has taking it off their website altogether?

Somethings afoot?

Adam608 · 19 Jan 2015 at 13:36

Details now on the UK Samsung website - and also implies that they are in stock..

Hoping this means that OC stock is due v soon (as per the revised ETA showing as today)

Good stuff, hope I get a good panel. Was reading some first hand reviews from overclock.net and it seems there were some issues with the backlight and complaints of colours being washed out.

Yeah i seen those reviews.....also 1 guy had pics of a LG 34UM-95 next to the sammy showing that the txt wasnt as sharp as the LG.......which made me buy the Dell ultrasharp u3415w.

Would love to check a VA version of a 34" UQHD out like this one. Hmm, will send out a message!

Prochaos · 20 Jan 2015 at 14:31

Would this VA panel suffer from such server bleed or ips glow like the lg 97/87 ?, returned 2 and havnt bothered getting another 1, sitting here waiting for a 3440 x 1440 to come around the corner with no bleed ! i can always wish

toto42 · 20 Jan 2015 at 14:43

Bleeds are possible, IPS glow is ... well, IPS only, but VA has its counter part: off-center gamma/contrast shift which looks like this

I just got the Dell U3415W curved 34" jobby yesterday after also having returned x2 LG 34UM-95 with bad bleed....yes the dell has some bleed at the corners but very minimal and nothing like the LG panels so i am very happy.
