Why the local price for normal ( non G-sync, non freesync ) 1440P 34" monitor so high.

Predator X34 1199USD, while local price RM4299
Samsung/LG 34" curved 700USD+, while local price around RM4K or more  sweat.gif
*
$1199 = RM4850 while in market here RM4299.. It's cheaper from last time I bought coz X34P is coming soon. Btw, X34 got GSync n 100hz OC.

That's why weird. The really good one like Predator X34 are cheaper, while normal one are much expensive. Donno what Bolehland logic biggrin.gif
Wonder if anyone have freesycn monitor ( at 75Hz ) + nVidia GPU combo. As I read in reddit, they said that combo causing frameskip at over 60Hz.

Trying to understanding pricing policies is almost like trying to unravel the mysteries of a Black Hole. An example of this is Acer's XB271HU, priced at RM3299 compared to Asus PG279Q which sells for RM4.2k+!

The Asus ROG Swift PG348Q is not officially available in Malaysia. Bangsawans have had to get it from across the Causeway, paying a princely sum of SGD1.8k or thereabouts. Convert this at 3x, it works out to whooping RM5.4k compared to X34 with RRP of RM4299 with free predator headset now selling in country.

Didn't like the X34 because of the stand design makes wires visible. Minor gripe with the backside of X34 for the glossy, fingerprint magnet finish, although can really see it unless you look from the back.

Panel quality is virtually the same. This bangsawan loves the PG348Q because he likes that ROG logo projector, the back design, the menu system with joystick.

That X34's base took up so much space are really annoying. Found one owner with the exact same table as mine, and he said the base cant even fit doh.gif the table ( as below ). I plan to remove the riser completely.

Yup. A 32" moving hand stand/riser works nice and clean. I love that if you use these type of stands the monitor looked like its floating. Very very clean look.

Dunno about that Asus 34" warranty cover, is it worldwide or not. If worldwide then no problem lor. But for me, I cannot tahan last time, direct go buy X34 hahahaha.. If want, better wait for X34P, come with swivel stand, joystick menu button, 100hz confirmed refresh rate n more curvy moniter.. thumbup.gif

Cant wait tomorrow, ordered from Lazada already. Now hopes shopback ( 4% ) works, registered my 3rd acc ( both Lazada & shopback ) tongue.gif

Gemfive ( with coupon ) and ipmart are cheaper, but both dont have the free headset.

Actually I like Z35's base/feet design. Too bad the 1080P's dpi are even lower than my current 23" which I almost cant stand the pixel dpi anymore ( spoiled by those high dpi smartphone display )

Cant wait for another half year, and I'm expecting much higher price for X34P for it's improved display panel and minor improvement on design. TBH those new addition are nice but not essential for me.

Certainly hope so, as far as I read in reddit/forum, almost all X34 owner are praising it.
One downside for getting X34 is that it will be brutal on my 970 sweat.gif
