i check LG site not here they have 34inch models 3440X1440 no fancy tech like $600 to 800 but not available here..sad really

also check lazada, acer store giving RM150 discount until today but sadly not on X34

dell only have U3415W for us here, RM3699 but dell again..im just sick of dell after staring at a dell monitor for many years now lol

Depend on games that old card can run old games only.
On my previous GTX1070, almost all games with ultra setting, some will be at 40fps ( The Division ) but with g-sync you dont felt laggy like regualr 40fps. Recommend GTX1080 and above

thanks for the info. That's what I am considering - getting a X34A will require a new GPU. Then total cost will be with a 1080Ti.

my brief price search yesterday night concludes that: cost of (free sync curved monitor + AMD card) < cost of (G-sync monitor + 1080ti). The difference can be as much as RM1,500, worth it?

Hahaha as current g-sync user, of coz I think worth it. I think the only cons is, you wont able to go back mid range graphic card I actually upgraded from 660ti to 970, but sold and upgrade to 1070 just couple of weeks later when 1070 released 970 cant even handle minimum

bought a korean monitor and claimed it today. Total price was RM 2023. Customs charged me for RM867?!?!?! Still claimed it tho, had no choice.

Depends on ur budget bro.. If low budget then go for freesync, but if get extra go for gsync, really worth it.. ultrawide + 1440p + 100hz , really superb bro.. really satisfied for me.. either for gaming or surfing.. I can open side by side fb n youtube.. no words can describe bro hahaha.. If u got extra n extra budget for later upgrade gc, then go for gsync la bro.. Nvidia card more expensive, later u need to upgrade to nvidia also coz u use gsync monitor, plus u need a powerful gc to run it nicely..

bloodsuck*r ! ! ! I thought worst case SIRIM ( RM100 ) and 6% tax

yeah bro! I showed the receipt to people around and they looked at me with pity I guess LEDs or any panels are subject to 30% tax. Felt that it was a robbery on broad daylight.

or whether should top up more and get the whopping Dell U3818DW. But i never try any 144hz monitor so dun know to go for refresh rate or pure mega screen.

I just bought the X34A few days ago RM4.4k. With 1080ti definitely worth it.

sucks get tax like this

btw what monitor did you buy? microboard?

where to buy RM4.4K?

yeah bro. felt like I wanted to cry when they handed the receipt to me.

Local pc shop.

nothing you can do but pay it, already expensive with our exchange rate + tax lagi

send u a PM..im from penang also

Thats 60hz only bro plus no Gsync.. Gsync that make it

That truly sucks... I wonder if the LED tax thing is written somewhere or they simply tax 30% to just anything you bring in. Imagine buying a 1080 Ti for Amazon and getting 30% at custom. wow

In fairness to the agents, I saw a Tariff with 30% tax for LED online. I should have known?!?!?! However, other computer parts such as Videocards, Processors, etc, they only charge 6% GST. I checked it as well. It's probably a discretion of the Customs agent. There are forumers in LYN who got only 6% GST. Guess I ain't lucky huh? Guess i'm the guinea pig for all those people who are planning to buy a monitor outside MY. To know more about the Tariff, you can click here.

some ppl can be lucky i know i dont have any lucky, if not early i buy these korean monitor already..get tax like that not that worth anymore

now forget it and enjoy your monitor

Gsync only good for gaming, right? I m semi retired from gaming already. More into video editing stuff maybe which I think no difference 144hz or 60hz.

The U3818dw is similar specs to LG UC38 I think plus better connectivity but without Freesync 75hz and Bluetooth audio. I saw U3818dw spec sheet, it can actually run 85hz but not officially maybe.

You're unlucky I guess. That's unjustified, because LED bulbs and screen shouldn't be in the same category. GPU got RGB LED too... opps.
