He’s my close friend but he won’t go to 2.3k laugh.gif

He’s not liking it. Coming from 32” monitor he says it’s weird for him to game on. So yea isn’t the model like from 2015 or something?

U can get a latest model brand new x34p for 3.1k if u hunt around Lazada/Shopee.

Just share my experience.

I was using 32 inch Curved 1080p 16:9 monitor, and wanted to upgrade to bigger monitor.
Then, I bought a 34 inch Curved 1440p 21:9 Ultrawide... and when I opened the box quite shocked at how small the 34 inch ultrawide is... compared to the 32 inch

I look at Excels a lot, that's why got interested in Ultrawide but now I have to squint my eyes to see even though technically the Ultra is bigger

Warning to others: Check dimensions before purchase
*
That's a known fact that an ultrawide has lower height compared to similar sized wide monitors.

http://www.displaywars.com/32-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9

Even a 38" ultrawide would not even beat the height of a wide 32".

And u are comparing 1080p vs 1440p. Just scale the native res lower and your eyes will thank you. But then things may not look as pretty.

Always do research before buying.

Good thing about Dell is the zero dead pixel policy, alot of ppl are swayed into this.
Unless u don't mind 1-2 dead pixels by joining the pixel lottery, u can save rm1k+.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad. not dead pixel (but bright pixel instead).

QUOTE
What pixel defects are covered under Dell Premium Panel Guarantee?
Dell’s Premium Panel Guarantee applies to UltraSharp, Professional and Alienware monitors with bright pixel defects only. The Premium Panel Guarantee does not cover monitors with dark/ black type of dead pixels.

Hehe, I'm tempted to upgrade from current 1700, for better RAM compatibility on 3000 series.

3099 I think damn good price. Kesian us who bought 4k++ if want to sell, rugi gao gao.

It's okay, you've already experienced and enjoyed it since then. That should worth more. smile.gif

Tech always advances and price dips, u can never wait. Just grab whatever u can afford now when u need it.

I know someone here mentioned that they prefer a normal 16:9 32" as opposed to 21:9 34". For those on the fence (like me) can consider this: Benq 32" WQHD Freesync2 144Hz
I've been monitoring this for past 2 months - cheapest now with RM130 discount excluding lzd vouchers which u can save even more.

If only the X34P has Freesync2 144Hz support as well for RM3k laugh.gif

That's a really good price honestly. I will snap it up right away if I don't have one already.
A lot of people prefer to upgrade performance parts (and cheap eye-candy RGB) but not for better immersion or for the finer quality of sense. Slightly better monitor, high quality sounds, freedom of wireless mouse, or smoothness of high quality mechanical keyboards all come later, even for myself.

U just missed 9.9 sale. Only 120hz oc though, it was around 2.9k. Probably u can wait for the next 11.11

Anything cheaper than this then it'll be lesser known brand with doubtful QC, unless u get used units.

i got mine display LG LED Monitor 34 34WK650 UltraWide FHD IPS HDR10 , but i found that video a bit pixelate compared to my Benq XL2755 which displayed better , Can somebody tell me what is the reason behind of this pixelate video

Both are Full HD 1080p and u stretch them out on a bigger 34" display. Of coz pixels are more obvious.
Sweet spot res for 34" is 1440p.

any good recomendation for  34 inch monitor ?

What's your budget and GPU?
34" 1440p res is not easy to be driven , u'll need at least a 2070/2070s to push >100fps.

Below are all 34" Ultrawide 1440p >100hz

Cheap:
Acer Nitro XV340CKP (non-curved) - RM1900

Mid:
Acer Predator X34P - RM3100
MSI MAG341CQ - RM2900

Mid-high:
MSI OPTIX MPG341CQR - RM4900
DELL ALIENWARE AW3420DW - RM5200


If you don't mind lower hz, then these 34" 1440p @60-75hz:
Acer CB342CK - RM1600
Dell UltraSharp U3415W - RM3900
LG 34WK95C - RM4500

Most likely bandwidth.
If he can get full 3440x1440 by turning down refresh rate, that confirms it.
He will need to go dp or buy hdmi2.0 gpu.
If he wants freesync with nvidia in the future he needs dp anyway.
*
yes, normally this is due to the cable/port bandwidth issue.

Switch to DP usually helps.

I read around that Acer xv340ck does not supply DP cable, only HDMI (which is a bummer). U need to purchase it separately.

once you go ultrawide, you wont look at normal screen anymore.

i previously sold my LG 34uc74g since some games doesnt work well on it.

but i also use it for work.

now with normal monitor, gaming is no problem

but for work, really miss the multitasking capability.

open 2 big tab on each side.

no need to minimize.

might as well look back into ultrawide again.

Ultrawide and 16:9 side by side. Problem solved tongue.gif

And make sure u get a decent arm for both.
