hi guys,
Was aiming for LG 38UC99 after selling off 34UC99. Found international seller through 11th St rm6559 (http://www.11street.my/productdetail/lg-38uc99-38inch-21-9-ultrawide-wqhd-3840x1600-ips-24221096).
Have anybody bought electronics shipped international through 11th St before?
I am worried about the tax and also warranty (is it international?).
pls share your experience.

Thanks for the info, sounds troublesome since I am in Penang. At least it's just 6%...was hearing some items can be taxed up to 30%.

Yeah, height wise it's equivalent to 27" only.

U have any suggestion how to get it? Import?

Very true, once try ultrawide wont go back 16:9. You can actually get an idea from existing screen. Just create custom resolution 3440x1440 or 2560x1080. Make sure to set monitor to display aspect ratio.

Spend a little more for Gsync if you are using Nvidia. you wont regret it as I did. Unless you can get used xr342ck for cheaper. xr342ck resale value is very low due to low demand, so will be a problem if you want to sell later.

Oh darn, been waiting for 38" ultrawide for so long and the moment I bought X34a, it becomes available.
Anyone wants my 1 month old X34a?

I think I am not likely to, as I dont play FPS games, mostly just RPG (3rd person.isometric) which is perfectly fine @60fps. I feel if GPU can maintain constant 60 fps is already giving a very smooth gameplay with or without Gsync.

Glad you love my ex, introducing my new GF...Acer XR382CQK

RM4599.

Most Acer reseller is selling at this price even though the MSRP is RM4999. This Acer model is default 75Hz even though it uses the same LG panel which has issue with 75Hz OC.
BLB is surprisingly minimal. here's pic in total darkness.

Yup

yeah about that price, slightly cheaper during sales. I bought it from the states when I was staying there a few years. U can hunt for one @hifi4sale, here's the sweet white one.

Ingame settings:
Resolution 3440x1440(100hz)
FPS -> Custom -> Limit to 100 (set to unlimited)
Vsync Off (off in game, on in Nvidia control panel)

Fake HDR...I can confirm this as I have the equivalent Acer XR382CQK.

Got to wait till Feb, all OOS now. I pre ordered, will replace Acer 382CQK. Will place on sale if anyone is interested.

I have both AW3821 and C9 connected to pc, so i can compare side by side. Its OLED no brainer if you have the space, everything is better or equal including feature where AW is supposed to be better such as 144hz (cant tell the diff to 120hz, where it is max at 10bit full) and Gsync module (C9 Gsync compatible feels as smooth).
OLED wins in picture quality (HDR, contrast, accuracy) and TV extra feature such as apps, eARC (HD sound passthrough if connected to home theater). you can also force it to run in 21:9 aspec ratio for most games. Most people will talk about burn risk on OLED, the risk is there but unilkely unless extreme condition, i have the first gen LG OLED which is now 6 years and yet to get any burn issue.

AW in general is an excellent desktop monitor, especially if you are using as desktop usage (browsing, mouse & keyboard games). Some downside
1. HDR is a mix bag. it can look great and super bright at times but struggle in dark scene where it can become too dark to the point of cant see anything, lots of lost detail. using mode 1 will help a bit.
2. the desktop color in SDR can look too saturated
3. side by side, AW will look washed out due to contrast

im sure you will be happy with either especially if you are upgrading from other PC monitor. i upgraded from Acer xr382cqk to AW3821DW and it is a satisfactory, but the price is probably too expensive when compared to a 55" OLED.

Dell AW3423 QD-OLED is available for order! Placed mine just a moment ago. Expect 1 month delivery period. Can't wait 😅

Yup direct from dell. You can actually get 100 bucks cheaper from Irontusk tech in shopee, trusted seller and he may even be able to expedite as priority. I didn't do so as the hassle to cancel thru Dell. My projected delivery mid Apr.
