My monitor is arriving in about a week. I picked this monitor over a 1080p TV 65" of similar price. I hope this is worth it since its 1/4 the size of a TV, and I already have a monitor. Anybody have any opinions on this? I need reassurance I made the right choice! LOL I bought it for gaming. Im running a single gtx 970 |

QUOTE(Celestia @ Nov 25 2014, 02:09 PM) Single GTX970 don't think will be enough for even High settings gaming at that resolution really? T.Tbut mind sharing where did you bought this and how much?  I couldnt find this model in Malaysia, so I had to ask a friend overseas to buy it for me. It was on sale for about USD 900 for their black friday sales. |

QUOTE(akmalrosli @ Nov 21 2014, 11:55 PM) You've chosen the best monitor in the market right now imo. Great size, amazing resolution. 3440x1440 Well, i couldnt find this model in Malaysia so i bought it overseas in the US May I ask, where did you buy it from and how much? It just arrived today. first thing i noticed is that the stand is quite short.. the monitor only stands about 6-8cm off the ground. Also all my text is small |

QUOTE(Turnip @ Nov 21 2014, 11:58 PM) nice, i was eyeing on this monitor too, give a review when u got it yaa Honestly, I dont really recommend it. i like the 27inch height size + super wide.Pros: gorgeous design, very good if you multi-task or actually do work on it. text is completely legible unlike 4k monitors, great if you do alot of work but usually focus on one screen Cons: the screen is soft and easily damaged, poor support for ultra wide screen gaming. The dealbreaker: Most popular competitive shooters/MOBA dont support wide screen gaming (cuz it would be unfair), and youtube/tv shows are all 1080p leaving a very obvious side and top/bottom black bars. honestly, its the vertical bars that make it seem like im watching a Picture in Picture. |

QUOTE(Turnip @ Nov 26 2014, 12:43 PM) you didnt research first before buying?Seems good to me though as i like to multitask. saw a review by linus tech tips. Ordered it overseas, had a friend bring it over for USD 900-ish.anyway how much you bought it?and from where?  I did, and all the reviews were stellar. They said it was great for gaming and movies. Unfortunately, very very few games actually support this resolution, and youtube looks bad. |

DO NOT GET HIS MONITOR IF YOU 1) Play dota 2) Play COD 3) Watch alot of youtube
ONLY BUY IT IF YOU ACTUALLY DO WORK ON UR PC |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 4 2014, 06:27 PM) What about watching movies? The 21:9 is a good ratio for movies. True, it is a wider screen for movies, but since it's limited to 1080p anyways, it's no different thathan watching movies on a big TV..except without the distracting bars. However, in exchange, you get both vertical and horizontal bars on most mother content..IMHO not worth just for movies. That's why 22 or 21:9 TV fell out of favor |
