A friend of mine just told me that its quite actually a bit of a hassle to play old games or those without native support on an ultrawide, having the need to setup and tweaks, is this true?

Yeah, some old games can tweak or hack, some cant, I remember C&C Generals cant ( or at least the mod/tweaks not working for me ). There's this mod/tweaks called Flawless Widescreen, but I didnt try since I got dual monitor so not too much hassle for me.

Do we need to tweak those game to actually launch the game (that i have to say would be a pain in the ass to do for lazy guy like me haha) or is it merely to get the game to play in ultrawide resolution. I know of the black bars if a game is not supported by ultrawide resolution.

I used Nvidia Control Panel to get those black bars in PUBG, maybe the game is in Alpha and these stuff isn't sorted out. On other recent AAA games, you can either play full screen or 16:9 with black bars without mod.

Games like PUBG and Overwatch doesn't give you more FOV when playing on ultrawide, they cropped out the top and bottom instead, so I play them in 16:9 if I am not playing casually. (RAGE MODE ON)

actually Z35P looks interesting, review from those who bought it is also good..at least acer did a better job than AOC and HP using the same panel..there is even a recall for HP omen X35 for flickering issue

because X34A now dropped to like RM4.4K im thinking of buying, but Z35P looks like a good VA gaming monitor

Heard great reviews about a Z35p. I know someone who has X34a, PG348Q and Z35p. The best of course is the latter. He sold the Asus hehe! Anyways, I think the 120hz OC matters. Enthusiasts can max it all out with their setup.

Crossover 3412um. It's probably an Acer reject haha! So far so good. Haven't calibrated it yet tho.

hmm rare specimen indeed! enjoy your UW.

Just setup my new Ryzen build yesterday and use back my very old Samsung 27" FHD P2770HD monitor temporarily. Surprisingly it does not feel very much smaller than my 30" U3014 but of course the pixel is very big at FHD. May be i should reconsider to get the 34" Ultrawide.

The height of the 34" 21:9 ultrawide is about the same as the 27" 16:9 monitor?

Correct, it is just stretch out on the sides.

Ya, as height as 27"

You need to watch 4K movie at ultrawide the experience

LOL
Bro, why didn't check Lowyat first.. I had been selling these here for a few years already.. Never before anyone kena tax RM800.

since you are here, can i ask the LCD from Korea is shipped direct to us? If got custom issue we have to deal with it ourselves? Saw you got some attractive offer but I dun want to deal with custom and the uncertain import tax issue.

Yes. Shipped from Korea to Malaysia.
Custom issue is just go to post office and get it.
Customs usually just 6% GST and usually customer pay around RM200 nia.

you got ways to make it wont get tax or luck wont get taxed? when it comes to luck i have zero

the crossover drunkonpiss bought looks good for the price

Got ways.
My price I always compare with ebay and give out lower prices than ebay everytime.

Lesson learned bro should have taken from you instead.I thought you only have Microboard. Microboard bit expensive compared to Crossover 3412UM.

no review on your crossover? at least tell us what you think..im thinking of buying

Here's my quick review on the Crossover 3412UM.

My goal towards gaming is always graphics-centered and immersion that's why I bought the monitor.

The base is ripped out of the pages of Acer Predator haha! It still looks cool tho. Frames are brushed aluminum and sturdy. Don't expect too much on the fine details of it as there are edges that are uneven but it's no deal breaker. It may be just from the manufacturing. The monitor doesn't swivel however, it can still tilt until 90 degrees maybe? As for the colors, it may use the same panel AHIPS panel of LG. Coming from an LG monitor, the colors are very similar but you have to use and configure the settings according to your preference. One of the best things I like about the monitor is that you can OC it to 95hz with ease! No frame skipping and the frames are seamless when I did the test. Much better performance than my LG monitor. Another thing that I like is that it's cheap! I only paid RM 2,200 minus tax. If you're luck enough it'll be RM 2,400 in total Awesome Deal!

Comparing it to my LG29UM68p monitor, am I happy, yes. am I satisfied, maybe. Am I impressed, No. The reason for those answers is that I thought jumping from a 2560x1080 will give you HUGE benefits in terms of visuals but it wasn't the case. If you have a keen eye on details, you may spot the difference but for fast paced shooters like Battlefield1 and Doom. It's not so much. The pixel density plays a big part I guess. To make it simple, 3440x1440 is the same as your 29 inch just a bit taller haha! if you have a 34 inch with a 1080p resolution, it looks crap to me. If you are using a 29 inch and you're satisfied with it, keep it and save the money. If you have the cash to spare, spend it wisely. If my budget is more flexible I would have taken the Acer XR34C2K but this is a great budget-friendly monitor if you want to save a few hundred bucks. Also get the Pixel Perfect version just so that you'll get a better quality. I think Crossover doesn't have a good QC and they just separate the good ones from the bad and sell with a higher price tag. Well that's better than getting something with defects right? Buy at your own risk So far so good
