Not sure your price, but those older model 34" curved should be around 750-800USD, but then we're not at US  cry.gif  After add shipping and GST all those, price  shakehead.gif

IHMO, market really tiny. If one need large screen entertainment solution will go high end TV, gamer go 144Hz monitor. People willing to pay this stupid high price for monitor, are enthusiast.

Regarding LG, I  think because most of their ultrawide arent for gaming.

At best, LG/Samsung monitors only have Freesync, no G-sync

Haha, actually this is what I'm looking for.. 34" 1080p, its basically a wider 27" 1080p then I guess its acceptable. I'm currently using a 23" 1080p which will be a huge leap for me. In Malaysia there is very very less 34" 1080p monitors.
I guess its the same as 1080p 27" quality right? I'll have to go to retail shops to take a look. I once survey for 27" 1080p .. its not that bad.

If 1080p is your thing, you may want to wait for the new Acer Predator Z1 series. News updates here for 32" and 30".

For those (like me) waiting for the X34P, news here.

Already 3 weeks since I ordered X34 and it's not even send. Bought from Lazada, not sure it Lazada sucks or Acer sucks big time.
One week after I ordered, Lazada called me claimed it's pre-order and I straight away shot them back for lying. Lazada/Acer update the title for the item to include ( pre-order ETA 25th July )  doh.gif  massive speechless. If no stock, stop allowing user to order then  bangwall.gif  , dont la call later and give reason  puke.gif

Was the price significantly lower than RM4.2k? If not, you would have been better off just going to Lowyat shops and COD for immediate gratification

Screw Acer/Lazada, called them yesterday and still no update, straight away cancelled my order.

Either look around for shop with ready stock, or hold for now  vmad.gif

You could try Topmaid at Lowyat. Saw on their FB page previously, they regularly re-stock.

Checking with them this morning, waiting reply. Last Fri went there to buy casing, then saw they have X34 on display. They even have the X34A, but I didnt ask if they have ready stock.

X34A! The only diff is the stand, whereby the X34A stand can now swivel whereas the X34 could not. Go for the X34A!!

Thanks, now I have to find monitor arm, the stand too huge so the display are too close to me, 74cm depth table.
PMed you  biggrin.gif
*
Yikes! 74 cm table still not sufficient to cater for X34? Like this, my 70 cm depth table chialat.

Anyway, bear in mind the weight of the X34 without stand, is 9.9kg. You will need an arm that can support that. Generally, the arms come in either desk-mounted or wall-mounted. For the former, it can be a clamp or grommet type.

The Ergotron MX or LX to me, are the best options but mind you, these costs and may not be available locally. There are however, other alternatives. Try contacting the sellers with postings in garage sale, here and here.

The display itself at middle of that depth ( push furthest inside already ), so in usual gaming/typing position, it's too close to be comfortable. The base/feet itself are like 3 point type, so I cant push the base even inside without tipping it off  bangwall.gifs

I read in reddit, one guy actually mod his table ( same IKEA table with mine ) with a small metal stand behind to accommodate back feet.

Alas, I won't have that luxury because my desk is a custom built-in and already flushed against a wall. My options, if really needed, will be getting a monitor arm.

Well.. There's a 60Hz Curved WQHD 3440x1440 FreeSync monitor for RM3100
Wasabimango 340UC

No Gsync or 100Hz like Asus PG348Q but it's half the price of the Asus one.

Honestly, I would top up RM1k and get an Acer X34 instead

It is just my opinion/POV as I would always prefer a peace of mind buying "big ticket" consumer electronics that are available to the masses in country for after sales support. No offense nor insult intended for the lesser brands. notworthy.gif

Hmm... Well a customer did go for X34 instead of the Korean one.
Though these brands are well reviewed by some youtubers.
So far, no problems reported by my customers. Though most of them buy 40+ inch 4K monitors.

I will need to get a bigger den in order for me to use a 40+ inch monitor sweat.gif

Hahaha so I'm few weeks too early  laugh.gif  I dont use headset when gaming, but I think it's good to have one around if I need to speak to others in The Division or so.

I nearly pulled the trigger previously with the same promo for an X34. Then, I found out about the X34A and soon after, news of the X34P came out. So now, resisting in wait of the X34P

so hard to decide sad.gif

if ignoring the cost for now - you reckon the X34 is superior to the dell?

well, I've tried dota-ing on an ultrawide (that's the reason for the upgrade really) and it impressed me - so i guess different opinion there tongue.gif

If the choice is between the X34 and the Dell, I would go for the X34

With absolutely no news on the X34P, I am really itching to pull the trigger for the X34A. The ASUS PG348Q is just too overpriced to be considered...
