just found out on wide screen monitor concept.
X34A did catch my attention but it does not have HDR right?
Any wide screen monitor with HDR nowadays?

X34A had much lesser light bleed than X34, my unit not noticeable unless you purposely look hard enough, or use monitor under really dark room. I would say dont worry on 'A'. Also according to my reading, ultra wide are difficult to escape light bleed completely.

Dont think much HDR monitor yet.

what is the best 21:9 screen for video editing?

The "bad OSD menu" issue is not really an issue unless you're the type who likes to fiddle with the settings constantly

I won't exactly say it is BLB but it is more of a case of IP glow, typical of IPS panels

Ya, actually cant call that as an issue.

Currently using Dell 29" ultrawide and 2x 21" standard samseng monitor at the sides. wanna get/replace the 29" with a 34", but still wanna use the 29". don't mind ditching the 2x 21" samseng monitors la. and also don't mind buying more than 1.

but I'm more concerned on the setup. if the 34" UL has active displayport like my current dell that I can daisychain with then easy la. anyway how would the monitors layout be? 34" above the 29"? 34" in the middle, 29" vertical at the side, 21" 16:9 at another side? suggestions please

MasterRace

I imagine 34" at middle, with 29" vertical one side, another side with 2 21" stacking

stacking sounds interesting but how would the monitor stand be like? got a particular brand? don't feel like spending 1/3 of the monitor price just to hold the monitors.....

also got recommendation on a good 34"? I prefer

- active dP
- USB 3s at the side and/or bottom
- more inputs like hdmi would be better but not really important
- if got center speaker better. if not, does anybody know where can get dell's?

Will need monitor arm.

X34A have:
display port
USB hub at back ( cable looks hidden )
Have HDMI ( but limited to 60Hz only )
Got build-in speaker ( bull-shit DTS certified ) dont bother use it

I used the speaker for general web browsing, if I don't want to use my earphones, which is kind of convenient. The DTS caused sound to distort, so I didn't use that, just the normal Stereo sound.

X34A eh? damn that's almost 5k just for the monitor Z35 is 1" bigger though, and 1k cheaper. dell's 34" is 1k cheaper too. both (most likely) has usb I think. so why X34A? I mean I don't really care about 144Hz and other stuff as it'll be mainly for movies and singleplayer games.

as for the arm, I mean what sorta arm brand/model u think available for that kind of (weird?) setup?

X34A got 100Hz and G-sync, if you're using nVidia card, eventhough you dont care on it, the benefit ( IMO ) are worth that extra cost.
X34A about 4.7K, if you can get Dell at below 4K, I think it's good choice for normal use.

Monitor arm got many setup type, can search online.

what editing software you guys used to edit 21:9 video?

By the way. I got my x34A already.



Brightness 50
Is this consider bad?

Mine is set at 39 currently. You may want to look at this as a guide

EDIT : Forgot to mention, it looks okay.

Unless you game or use your computer in really dark room, light bleed was not obvious enough. Check again in your usual environment and setup.

Looks more like IPG glow than bleed

i think its bleed. as the light stays with any viewing angle. its quite obvious thou whenever theres a black screen in game.

in bright room with black background also can see the bleed. lol

Aiyok....then best to return.
