My 4 years Dell U3014 just died. Looking for a ultrawide replacement now. Is the X34A really that good for gaming? You can run it efficiently with a MSI 660ti (as in your sig) for gaming?

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?

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.

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.

haha...yes, big screen is more important than high refresh rate for me. But just saw the Viewsonic VX3211 (IPS 2560x1440) in the other LCD monitor thread. At only RM1,299, really strike me hard - so damn cheap!! Buy 3 to form 3-monitor setup only RM3,897.

I think ultra-wide in comparison still not mainstream yet, I will just get the VX3211 and wait another 3 years. By then 40 inch ultrawide 21:9 144Hz WQHD IPS panel maybe just RM3k or less.


It is consider "cheap" actually if you compared to LG 38UC99.

Yes, i did some research and come out with this few model shortlisted too. But 34 ultra-wide like not big enough.

Thanks for the info on X35 and Asus PG35VQ, more reason to buy a cheap monitor like VX3211 to use temporary (my Dell U3014 just died Sunday)

I actually dun do work at home, the computer just a leisure comp, so not intended to setup 3-monitors, too overskill for me. 38" Ultrawide is also overkill but it is awesome looking, so i can bear with it.

yes, i think so too. 2560x1600 on my Dell U3014 is just nice. So i am expecting 2560x1440 on VX3211 shouldn't be too bad. 1080p on my old Samsung 27" is bad though, cannot get used to that big pixel already.

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?

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.

Anyone using Samsung CF791? Any good or bad point about it? Thanks.

I have the same dilemma. Z35P is more mouth watering...

Now already August, so I am still wait and see if they will bring in by Sept. I actually PM Acer Malaysia at FB last week. But they just reply standard answer - "Thank you for your enquiry. Please stay tuned on our page for updates."

I will wait though coz for me monitor change is not an easy task as it is bulky and thus involve more expensive shipping fee and higher risk of damage during transportation. Not like other computer parts - CPU, motherboard, RAM, etc that you can just sell them off and buy another set easily if you find them not suitable or not up to your expectation.

So far most of the youtube review of the Z35p has been quite positive (of course I know cannot trust everything blindly on the internet). Will google for more user reviews in various forum when it is available here in Malaysia before I fork out the cash on this toy.

Good to hear Acer got a comparable service as Dell (on monitor RMA). Just grab a GTX1080 Ti, now just waiting for last piece of puzzle - an 34" ultra-wide monitor to complete my new build for this year.

wow... that Asus is priced out of reach. Unless X35 come earlier than the Z35p, I will settle for the Z35p. Have to endure the horrible pixelised FHD 27" Samsung display now everyday at the moment.

For my personal preference, 4K is not that suitable as a monitor - it is DPI kinda too high for a 32" 16:9 monitor (max monitor size I can tolerate). If go bigger at 40", then have to stay quite a distance from the monitor which will defeat the purpose of large monitor, might as well just get a 60" 4K TV. Not to mention 4K resolution will need higher end GPU to drive it.

In the contrary, 4K on TV is understandable as you will sit 2-3 meters away from it, so higher res on the larger 60-70" TV is always better.

4K on the mobile phone? What's the point? Can't really see much difference between my S8+ 6.2" 1440p and Mi Max 2 6.4" 1080p. Unless of course if you put the screen 2 inches from your eyes (as in the case of VR).

what's that "dun mind"... haha... I think it is the dream specs. But I think 35" 3440x1440 with 144hz is good enough without having to wait too long I hope. Yes, I am talking about Acer Z35p - wait till neck very long already.

You are planning to get X34A? I think my patience is wearing out too waiting for concrete news of availability of Z35P in Malaysia. Most likely will just get the X34A in early Sept if by then still no news at all for the Z35P to arrive.

Yes, me too. Another video to convince u to get X34A instead of waiting for Z35P.

wow...wow..wow.... Where did you buy from? Do share some photos and your thought after getting it.

I will get mine after I came back from school holiday next week.

is the price RM4899 refer to PG348Q? I doubt they will give such a deep cut in price from RM6k plus.

Edit: Just check Idealtech pricelist updated today, PG348Q only listed at RM4,699.
